Scarlett's, of course, is much sexier - but what else would you expect? Notice Scarlett just chucks hers on over her underwear, while the model is wearing an under dress that buttons from neck to toe. I thought the idea of a wrapper was to have something you could just throw on quickly. I guess maybe the wrapper and under-dress might not have had to go together, or so the model wasn't dressed too revealingly. <br />Just a point of interest, in this scene in the novel Scarlett had just returned from the mill and was fully dressed. It was the first time she had been out since Bonnie was born and Lou had had to let out one of her dresses to fit her now 20 inch waist as she couldn't fit into any of her dresses. She had dressed for Ashley, and we know she always put more effort into her attire for him (though God knows why). The green velvet wrapper is iconic in its own right, and I think it would be fun to guess what dress she might've worn if the film followed the novel to a tee.MCM84noreply@blogger.com
