Wiendish Fitch July 19, 2020 Author Share July 19, 2020 (edited) As I've mentioned elsewhere, while I'm aware of how bloated and silly it is, I will love and defend The Slipper and the Rose: The Story of Cinderella 'til my last breath. Certainly Julie Harris (not to be confused with the beloved actress of the same name)'s costume design deserves a mention! Cinderella is probably the biggest fashion icon of the fairy tale world, so Harris certainly went all out giving star Gemma Craven the royal treatment! 1. I confess her climactic ballgown isn't that impressive to me, but it's still lovely, and I normally hate the powdered wig look, but Craven manages to look adorable. (Image is at the very bottom, sorry) 2. I love this ode to the painting "The Swing". 3. I actually prefer her wedding gown to the ballgown, with her hair swept back, pinned with a tiara and hair jewels.

It's a very simple, flattering silhouette, and spaghetti straps never truly go out of style.
