About the Costume

This glamorous gown was made for Jeanette MacDonald as Mary Blake in the 1936 film San Francisco. The gown was seen again in the 1939 Honolulu on Gracie Allen as Millie De Grasse, though with some alterations. A different brooch was used on the front, and additional feathers were added, along with long sleeves – as Gracie Allen always wore long sleeves to cover childhood scars.
