I'm trying to work up the courage to watch "Good Boy". I hate seeing dogs hurt or scared.

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.

I'm a ginger & I wear deep green every chance I get.

I hope you all have enjoyed this tour of some of the costumes of "Meet Me In St. Louis". Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to re-enact the streetcar scene...

🎶Clang, clang, clang went the trolley
Ding, ding, ding went the bell! 🎶

Not to be outdone by her daughters, Mrs. Smith steps out in this beautiful white confection with silvered embroidery & the most fantabulous matching hat & parasol!

Here is a closer look at the dress from a publicity photo of Judy Garland. It truly looks like a tiered wedding cake with meringue took the form of a dress - in the best way!

As the family has decided to stay in St. Louis, they are all able to attend the World's Fair the following Spring. The four Smith sisters do so wearing frothy white dresses with matching parasols for Esther & Rose.

His speech is interrupted by Rose's beau, bursting through the door to propose marriage to Rose - who looks stunning dressed in her blue dressing gown with multi-tiered sleeves, polka dot top & a lovely fabric rose at the waist. I certainly never look so fetching in my robe.

Witnessing Tootie's grief, the Smith family patriarch announced they are not moving to NYC & will be staying in St. Louis.

It looks to be a fine, sequined yarn that has been crocheted in a mesh stitch. (Not me currently looking online for sequined yarn to make a duplicate).

For the proposal scene & also for the iconic scene where she sings "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" to little sister Tootie (who then decapitates the snow family in her grief over having to move to NYC), Esther wears the most magical sparkling head scarf.

The dress was apparently so gorgeous, that it led John to propose marriage to Esther after the party.
(I mean, REALLY...can you blame him?)

Here are both the dress & the coat, that she wears later, in an exhibit last year at the Missouri State Museum. The coat has a red lining that matches the dress.

Esther makes her appearance wearing THE Dress - a breathtaking, pick your jaw off the ground, unbelievably gorgeous red velvet creation with perfectly puffed sleeves, sweetheart neckline (that was popular in 1944) & simple, elegant lines.

Rose wear a lovely, off-shoulder bottle-green velvet dress with short puffed sleeves & elaborate embroidery around the neckline. The color sets off her pale skin & auburn hair to perfection.

As this is the last party the sisters will attend in St. Louis before their family all moves to New York, they want to leave a lasting impression & they certainly do!

It's December & the sisters are invited to a Holiday Ball. This requires the wearing of corsets, which Esther is not thrilled about. The gorgeously embellished corsets & ruffled petticoats they wear in this scene are almost too pretty to cover up.

Fall has now become Winter. When I said that designer Sharaff paid attention to every detail of the costumes, even those of the background characters, that also included this well-dressed family of snow people.
