Additional Notes

Appears the bodice was altered for later production by moving the breasts in to meet at the center. Edith Head recreated two looks from the previous looks in Harlow’s film “Dinner at Eight”, the beaded bed jacket and a satin bias cut gown. In this film, she reversed the technique and beaded this gown and make the bed jacket in satin.
