Rosalind Russell in Manproof (1938)
A formal evening gown for Rosalind Russell in Manproof (1938) combining bois de rose crepe with a red beaded bolero jacket. The dcollet dress hugged the figure and the slim skirt had a long train. The short jacket had no extra trimming and was heavily beaded, including a sprinkling of shimmering beads, adding an elegant touch to a dress smart by its simplicity. Perhaps this featured Dolly Tree?s use of Swedish embroidery on the bolero jacket. Date: 1938

EDITORS COMMENTS
a 1938 MGM film starring the inimitable Rosalind Russell, showcased her exceptional acting skills as she portrayed a strong-willed woman determined to prove herself in a man's world. This photograph from the production highlights an exquisite formal gown worn by Russell during one of the film's elegant scenes. The dress, a beautiful combination of bois de rose crepe and a red beaded bolero jacket, epitomizes the glamour and sophistication of Hollywood's Golden Age. The daringly low-cut decolletage of the dress hugged Russell's figure, while the slim skirt gracefully trailed behind her, revealing a long train. The short jacket, devoid of extraneous embellishments, was the true standout of the ensemble. Heavily beaded, the jacket shimmered with an array of red beads, adding an understated yet elegant touch to the dress. The simplicity of the design allowed the intricate beadwork to take center stage, perhaps a testament to the innovative Swedish embroidery techniques of renowned costume designer Dolly Tree. As the jazz age gave way to the 1930s, Hollywood's fashion scene was characterized by its opulence and grandeur. This photograph encapsulates the essence of that era, transporting us back in time to a bygone era of glamour and elegance. The timeless beauty of Rosalind Russell's Manproof costume continues to captivate audiences and inspire fashion enthusiasts to this day.
