About the Costume

Walter Plunkett made seventeen versions of this calico gown for Vivien Leigh to wear in the 1939 film Gone With the Wind. One version, not yet found, apparently appears in The Sombrero Kid in 1942.

Another version was worn by Eilene Janssen as Judy Dawson in Buckaroo Sheriff of Texas in 1951, though the sleeves and collar were altered. The film is in black and white, so its color is never seen, though lobby cards color it incorrectly as yellow.

The altered version appears to have been worn in the long running western television show Death Valley Days in the pilot episode entitled How Death Valley Got Its Name, where it was worn by Phyllis Coates as Virginia Arcane.

One of the dresses made its way into the Shaw Tumblin Gone With the Wind Collection and was eventually sold by Heritage Auctions in April 2015. You can see the listing here.
