Carol Burnett Gone With The Wind Curtain Dress

It was a moment that has been immortalized in the annals of entertainment history. On the night of March 17th, 1967, Carol Burnett took to the stage of The Carol Burnett Show wearing an iconic curtain dress. It was an off-the-cuff joke that would become one of the most memorable moments in television comedy. Now, almost fifty years later, the story behind the curtain dress continues to captivate fans of Carol Burnett and Gone With The Wind.

The inspiration for the dress came from a scene in the 1939 film Gone With The Wind, where Scarlett O'Hara (Vivien Leigh) fashions a dress from curtains she finds in an abandoned home. While the original dress was made from velvet curtains, Carol Burnett's version was crafted from a more modest variety of fabric. It was an ingenious way to make a joke about her tight budget, while also poking fun at the over-the-top production values of the movie. But what started as a gag on a television show has now become a beloved costume piece in its own right.
