PINK CHIFFON OUTER GOWN WITH FEATHERS AND RHINESTONES

1975-79​, Designer: Jean Louis​, Gift of Marge Padgitt

Multiple layers of diaphanous chiffon create a voluminous skirt on this playful outer gown worn by Ginger Rogers during her nightclub revue The Ginger Rogers Show from 1975-79. In her trademark color of pink, the garment’s full sleeves feature another trademark element of Rogers’ style: feathers which are very similar to those accenting Roger’s pink feathered garment from the 1940s.​
