One Dress a Day Challenge
February: Orange Redux
Gypsy / Natalie Wood as Louise Hovick (Gypsy Rose Lee)
This film takes place during the 1920s, but there's nothing particularly 20s about this costume--and they weren't even trying when it came to the hair. Still, it's appropriately showbiz-ish in looks.
She starts out with a loose, short "crop top" over the dress, but that comes off as part of the act. The ribbon and beading at the waist, ending in the long, dangling threads in front, are the main decorative element on the underlayer.
This film was one of the last for legendary designer Orry-Kelly. He worked on more than 300 films dating back to the dawn of the talkies.

I’ve watched “Gypsy” and that’s a very interesting and a pretty unusual old musical telling the story of the famous burlesque actress Gypsy Rose Lee and her mother. I don’t know if it’s historically correct, as I got it the musical was based on her memoir and I suppose it’s just enough. The story has a pretty simple beginning– the mother of the main character, who wants to realize her own unfulfilled wishes and dream in her daughters – at first in the younger one, but then, (Spoilers!) she runs away with a boy from the show (she was thirteen at the time…) and the mother decided that now she’d make her elder daughter a star and she tries, but it doesn’t really work out because she just wants to have her younger daughter back and so at first tries to make Louise (the real name of the elder daughter) look like the younger one. Then they make a show a little more organic and fitting to the main “star”, but it’s still not good. When they came to the city they found out that the theatre in which there were going to perform is actually a burlesque theatre. They were ready to leave – it’s inappropriate! – but they stayed for the money. Then, when one of the strippers was taken to the police (or whatever) the mother made Louise take her place and so she becomes Gypsy Rose Lee and then – a star – one of the most famous strippers in the whole US. Well, she still has conflicts with her mother because she wants to live her life and mother still wants to control her, but they settle this and reconciled at the very end. I enjoyed it a lot, the music is great, some of the dancing numbers are interesting, the plot – is very unusual for an old classical musical, after all, it’s all about family and has almost no romantical part.

“You've been living your life like a girl in a cage.” The observation is seemingly unprompted, but only if you don’t know quite how observant he can be; he sees more than he lets on, most of the time, and he struggles to see how anyone has failed to notice this about her.

The story of Gypsy’s life is a fable before Broadway bills it as such, a myth she wants to sell not only to the public but to herself. Once upon a time there was a girl with many names: Ellen June, Rose Louise, Plug, Hard-boiled Rose, Louise Hovick, and the one she liked best, Gypsy Rose Lee. She would grow up and wear that name as if it were a cape made of orchids, a vision no one had seen before, and try to forget everything she did to make it fit just right.
The story means everything to her, especially since she is no longer living it.
