Correction – in the video it’s not Anita Louises costume – it’s another Shearer costume from “Marie Antoinette”.

Costume Commentary
Correction – in the video it’s not Anita Louises costume – it’s another Shearer costume from “Marie Antoinette”.
Also the dress isn’t from Becky Sharp it’s Katharine Hepburn’s ball dress from “Quality Street” and it’s pink
Awesome, thank you! Great tip!
Holy Moly, I went to check on the wardrobe tests for “Rebecca” and it’s a film history fashion show! The first dress is an Adrian design for Anita Louise in “Marie Antoinette” and the last one is a Norma Shearer costume from “Romeo and Juliet.” Mixed in is also two “Gone with the Wind” costumes and a “Becky Sharp” costume. Amazing.
Yup. It’s pretty crazy, huh? I’ll get all of those up eventually as well.
Thanks for posting the test shot. I am truly amazed. Of course I am simultaneously appalled that this was done, but it’s impossible to refute passed on the photo.
Not likely. Different studios.
Selznick rented costumes for this production from other studios. There is a video of Joan trying on costumes from Camille and Gone with the Wind.
Where may one see this video? Sounds intriguing.
You can see it here – there is no sound, so don’t worry, your speakers are working just fine.

There are very clearly a couple of costumes from GWTW and Marie Antoinette.
Thanks! That was cool!
