Another altered chipboard dress form from Maya Road. Oh my, what a fun dress this was! If you are old enough to remember Gone With The Wind and watching the Carol Burnett Show, you will certainly remember this famous skit. It still cracks me up to watch it after all these years.
My favorite lines:
Rhett Butler - Why, that's a beautiful dress you have there Miss Scarlett.
Scarlett - Thanks, I saw it in the window and I couldn't resist!
Here's a link to refresh your memory. Warning: Protect your keyboard, as this will make you spew your coffee! hee hee
I wanted to try to re-create one of the most memorable dresses of the silver screen. I had to do my research which is what lead me to find the video on You Tube.
The curtain rod and how to attach it were the most challenging parts of my project. My DH got involved and found the perfect curtain rod at the hardware store. It's actually a water supply pipe used for the toilet - of all things! LOL DH was a big help and even cut it for me to the perfect length.
The rest was just trial and error with me and the sewing machine. I don't much care to sew, so my experience is not that great with sewing velvet and organdy. In the end, I'm happy with the final result. I added store bought tassels - I've made my own before and learned my lesson! LOL
I hope you enjoyed this little journey down memory lane. The Carol Burnett Show will forever be one of my favorite T.V. shows from way back when television was so simple. sigh...
I miss those days.
Thanks for looking!

LOVE IT! I had that Carol Burnett line going through my head before I even read your post! I think Carol herself would get a big kick out of your creation!!!

Love you homage to Carol! That IMO is the funniest bit ever aired! I still makes me crack up, too!

OMG!!! Thank you for the link, my husband just came upstairs to see what the heck all the noise was! (ME,laughing hysterically!)
This dress is perfect! The minute I saw it, my mind went to the Went With The Wind parody. Thanks for making my evening!
