I fell madly in love with the movie (and Richard Chamberlain). Immediately upon returning home, I put all of my mom's dresses on me, thinking if I wore them all at once, the dress would "poof" out, not realizing the skirt actually needed a panniere. I have probably seen this film hundreds or more than a thousand times in all these years. Just today, while researching rococo costumes, I discovered that Cinderella's gray-green work dress, the original worn by Gemma Craven, was for sale. It's built for Gemma Craven, so she was probably, like, a size 0 person. It is also a collectible, with nowhere to wear it. But when my husband saw the tears rolling down my cheeks, he bought it for my for my birthday. I am walking on air. All day long, it's been The Slipper and the Rose for me....To even own a little part of this childhood dream is just...the best.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05842992675070460011noreply@blogger.com
