After her marriage to Vincent Minnelli, Garland made one more film, then took some time off to have her baby, Liza Minnelli and to rest. She and Vincent owned a house in the Hollywood Hills, now known as the Sunset Plaza area. With a view of the city, they often gave parties. Garland, though still not well after years of movie making, record cutting, radio shows and personal appearances had a new contract with MGM and was required to return to work to start the epic THE PIRATE.

This fatigue and fear were depicted in the ABC Television presentation LIFE WITH JUDY GARLAND in a party scene in the house in which Judy Davis as Judy Garland, using her own voice, attempts to sing "You Made Me Love You."

The costume is a wonderful evening gown. It consists of an ivory silk sleeveless gown with a long train. It is decorated in a V shape all around the bust line with gold bugle beads. The dress has the "John David Ridge, Ms. Judy Davis" label. It comes with a gold mesh long sleeve jacket, decorated at the edges with gold bugle beads. The jacket features shoulder pads and is also labeled.

A still of Judy Davis wearing this costume was used for the Canadian TV Guide.

Condition: This costume is in excellent condition.
