One Dress a Day Challenge

June: Weddings

Swing Time / Ginger Rogers as Penny Carroll

This is definitely an unexpected wedding outfit! I’d love to know the colors of the individual items. There is a jacket made of some shiny material, with a flared skirt, princess seams, and slight leg-of-mutton sleeves. Over this, she wears a fur with attached fresh flowers. The gloves are dark, but not as dark as the skirt, hat, and clutch purse. She does have a veil, but it’s just dark netting attached to a round hat with a blow on top.

Another interesting feature of the jacket is the long row of small buttons down the front. I have started calling these “1936 buttons,” as I’ve noticed them on dresses in other movies that came out that year. Ginger has a similar row of buttons on another of her dresses from the same movie, for the number “Waltz in Swing Time” (see below).
