I made that dress years ago for a bride--she had the perfect figure and personality for it. When she first called me, after trying several other bridal dressmakers, who had barely even heard of Gone With The Wind, she was thrilled when I knew exactly the dress she was talking about immediately. She was so cute. In deference to her fiance's family we made it in pale pink, but it had all the feathers and rhinestones. I ended up just calling her Scarlett by the end of our fittings. There were some fun brides among the boring or difficult ones.....
