I'm black, and discovered GWTW when I was in high school (private catholic girl's school). I enjoyed that love story SO MUCH. I read GWTW cover-to-cover 3 times in a row. I did not consider it racist when I read it in H.S (circa 1965). I did not consider it racist when my boyfriend (now husband) saw the movie together (1970). And I don't consider it racist now. It's more a movie about those times. And I LOVE the costumes probably even more than you do. As much as I like the 'saw mill' dress with bolero and bonnet, my all-time fave is the slinky red/maroon gown with sequins and feather boa that Rhett made her wear to the birthday party. When I saw that dress at the movies I KNEW exactly what the costume designer was trying to say about Scarlett. Nevertheless, I always wanted to be like Scarlett when I grew up....

I totally agree. To call something like that racist is similar to calling the Roman destruction of Jerusalem 'anti-Semitic'. History is history and we can't superimpose modern values on historical events though a lot of things that happened were terribly prejudiced, unfair and oftentimes brutal. Most nationalities and all races have, at sometime or another, been enslaved. It' s still going on in some of the more remote parts of the Middle East. It's horrible and needs to be eradicated throughout the world, but to rewrite history is always a big mistake. At least, that's my opinion.

It’s not about her owning slaves, which obviously is historically accurate. What Hollywood did (and still does) with these types of films is gross.

She wore the dress, instead of the dress wearing her...Which is hard to do based on how outrageous her costumes were.

Yes, it is stunning and a show stopper! What I find interesting about that scene is if you haven't already watched the film and only seen that scene, you would think SHE wore it as a statement as part of her personality. When in reality, her husband made her wear that gown and attend the party she tried to ditch to make her feel embarrassed for her adultery.

Almost all of her dresses, including the change in styles over the years, are described in great detail in the book. Fabric, colors, prints. Plunkett's designs followed the book's descriptions almost exactly.

I fell in love with this bold red dress she wears at Ashley's birthday, so with help of dressmaker I designed a dress with a similar shape and vibe (of course it's impossible to replicate it, but I tried my best) and succesfully wore it with real peacock feathers on my prom night

Yes, some people may use a particular color for a perceived effect, but many wear whatever suits their mood or even just their favorite color regardless.

​@Mara L Oh, I know it's not just a fashion thing. It's a cultural thing. If you've been cultured to see a color a certain way (by your family, education, region, media, country, etc.), of course you are most likely to lean on that culture for interpretation. But it's not fair to the rest of the world to assume it's going to speak the same color language as you. There are some red-wearing brides and emperors, for example, that would not appreciate being told they look "cheap." Even in fashion, even in American media, red is not exclusively a color of "desperation." For examples, see this very channel's list of the best red dresses in film.

Mara L I’m sorry but you are way off on this. Red is chosen in fast food because red and yellow have a phycological effect in relation to food and hunger. In relationship to clothing most people choose colors they feel flatter them most physically and has nothing to do with desperation or insecurity. I rarely wear red but when I do it is solely because the article of clothing is pretty and I like the way it looks on me. I’m far from insecure or desperate and have no desire to draw attention to myself. I also wear red at Christmas for traditional purposes. Red was a common royal color and most western countries used red wedding gowns for centuries.

@Mara L You are so WRONG! Nobody should be taking fashion advice from you. Red is the color that alerts us. It stands out more than any other color. That's why stop signs are red. It is the boldest of colors. In western culture, it is the color of passion and sexuality. In SE Asia, brides wear red because it symbolizes joy and youth. Rhett wanted Scarlett to wear the red dress because he wanted her to appear bold and confident after what happened earlier. He wanted her to attend Ashley's party and stand out and not be a wallflower. As for looking "cheap," that has more to do with the fit, style, and condition of the article of clothing than the color.

Thank you for creating such an insightful video. I saw GWTW when I was 8 years old, thanks to my mother, and have seen the film dozens and dozens of times over the past 53 years. I've always admired Scarlett's dresses and somehow missed the connection with the colors of green and red. Looks like I have to pull out the DVD - FTR

All time favorite movie snd book. The dresses in this movie are just stunning. One of my favorite is one we really never see her wear. It's the blue dress she wears in the portrait. For some reason have always love it. The story is a Timeless classic

This film always has a special place in my heart because it was the first time little twelve year old me fell in love with costumes, and eventually put me on track to study Costume Design

Still to the day one of my most favorite movies but I did not ever see the significance and meaning behind the wardrobes as you have explained. Thank you for this. Very interesting. God bless you.

The red dress was absolutely amazing but I don’t see many people love the white dress she wore In the beginning maybe it’s just me but I love that dress so much it’s just amazing and beautiful 🤩

“Gone with the wind” is one my favorite movies of all time!!! And MY personal favorite when it comes to costume design 😭💕 Girl, YOU A GENIUS

Another reasoning as to why all Scarlet's costumes are green is to make Vivien Leigh's blue eyes to appear more green in the camera.

Green is the main color she wears in the book. I prefer the book to the movie in most ways, but I love the variety of colors she wore in the movie.

I love what you did with Scarlet's dresses; they are my favorite part of the film! I love all the green, of course, but my favorites are the ones with blue--the sewing scene and the scene with Ashley at the mill. I just love blue and white! Well done!

This is one of my favorite movies! I absolutely love this time period and OF COURSE it’s all about the dresses! My favorite was the barbecue dress! It was bitter sweet though, because she tried so hard to attract Whitney, but attracted Rhett (which I wasn’t mad about) instead! That scene of him staring at her when she’s on the stairs was everything! This movie probably wouldn’t have won best picture without the fashion, because it was that good! Even the men were well dressed!

My top three favorite dresses that Scarlett wore in Gone With The Wind are: 1. The green and white barbecue dress. 2. The green and gold dress that were made from the curtains. 3. The red dress that she wore to Ashley's birthday party.

This is my favorite movie and book of all time. It takes away from the well written story of a woman defying society's idea of proper ladies places when people want to be "woke" on a fantasy story. This is coming from a descendant of slavery. If I wanted a history debate, GWTW is not the movie I would use. Just like people go on and on about Mammy. I actually collect GWTW Mammy dolls and figurines. Why ? Because the actress that played her, Hattie McDaniels was the first black person to win an Academy award. Halley Berry was the second. Scarlett is a spoiled brat. But the war changes her. She grows and her clothing goes with her exactly as she does. I loved all the dresses, but the barbeque dress and curtain dress are tops. I have those two dolls in those dresses standing next to Mammy, the one person that always told Scarlett the truth about herself.

I am more than willing to discuss this terrible point in our nation's history, but being I was raised by a woman born in 1905, I think I would have more of an understanding. I refuse to play a victim to assuage someone's cultural guilt. It is because of those years of horror my ancestors endured that makes me stronger and more conscious of someone else's struggle. To say to me how terrible slavery was and coming from the decendants of slave owners, it is more than arrogant. My people are still fighting for equal rights and freedom.

I love the red dress Scarlett is forced to wear to Ashely’a surprise birthday party. It’s gorgeous. Vivien looks breathtaking,l and sultry, the kind of woman you know would be caught in an embrace with another married man. That’s exactly what Rhett wanted. In the book it’s described as a jade green dress but I feel like red is far more impactful. He literally tells her: “Wear that...No modest, matronly dove grays and lilacs tonight. Your flag must be nailed to the mast, for obviously you’d run it down if it wasn’t. And plenty of rouge..” I love the movie and imo all the small changes made to the film only made it far better. Though I’m not sure they made justice to Rhetts character. He was far more complex than the movie. He was cruel and made Scarlett think he didn’t really ever love her, that he married her because she was the only woman he couldn’t have. Don’t get me wrong, Scarlett for all her wit and her courage and her ability to fight like a man in a mans world, she was childish, immature and selfish. She didn’t see that Rhett loved her. Star crossed lovers, but more real and flawed.
