EDITH HEAD
Original sketch for a gown worn by Dorothy Whitney in Breakfast at Tiffany's. Design for Paramount Pictures, circa 1961. Gouache, pencil and ink sketch on paper. Signed "Edith Head" at bottom right in ink, with ink notations "13" and "int party" on right side. The sheet measures 16 1/2 x 14 inches (42 x 35.5 cm). Framed. Smudging to corners, mild rippling, slight wear to lower left corner, slight soiling to edges on verso.
A fine sketch depicting a white floor-length boatneck gown worn by Dorothy Whitney as the lively model Mag Wildwood in Breakfast at Tiffany's. The design of the dress changed before filming, as the dress in the film has a slightly higher neckline and is decorated with crystals, rather than the blue flowers shown here. Black gloves, a hat, and chandelier earrings were added to the outfit and the necklaces and bracelets were removed. Both the sketch and the film's dress have a white tied sash at the waist. The silhouette and overall cut of the dress remain the same.
