Designed by Walter Plunkett, the Curtain Dress, symbol of Scarlett's will to survive, was worn in three scenes: the jail scene in which Scarlett asks Rhett for financial assistance, the scene in which Scarlett walks through the Atlanta streets with Mammy, and the scene in which Scarlett meets Frank Kennedy.
The dress had to suit the color of Vivien Leigh's eyes and it had to conform to Technicolor specifications. It also had to look as if it were made from the draperies at Tara. So the dress was aged as if the sun had faded the material.
This is Walter Plunkett with Vivian Leigh... nope... don't know him... now fast forward to the 1970's... ready?
Carol Burnett's parody of "Gone with the Wind" titled, "Went with the Wind"... in which she too had a curtain dress... curtain rod included. Now, who do you suppose designed Carol's curtain dress?
Yep... Bob Mackie... the Bob Mackie... We've heard of him now haven't we... 
and now you know.... the rest of the story...
