Scarlett O’Hara Barbecue Dress
Get your very own Scarlett O’Hara BBQ dress costume. This is an officially licensed replica of the green dress that Scarlett wore to the bbq at Twelve Oaks. All the men fawned over Scarlett in this beautiful gown. Even her sister wanted to wear it.
The famous Gone with the Wind picnic dress is a full-length, off-the-shoulder gown with a green sprig print. The dress has green trim on the layered collar ruffles, green bow accents, and a green belt. The costume comes with a hoop underskirt to give it fullness and make it authentic to the era.
Scarlett also carried a black parasol to the Twelve Oaks barbecue. Get one for your costume.
Plus Size Scarlett O’Hara Costume
This handmade Scarlett O’hara plus size Halloween costume is perfect for voluptuous Gone with the Wind fans who want to join in on the dress-up fun. This plus size barbecue dress is made of organza with a green velvet belt.
The design is true to the movie costume, with off-the-shoulder collar ruffles, bow accents, and a fully lined skirt. The extra large Scarlett O’Hara costume fits up to a 48″ bust, 42″ waist, and 50-inch hip.
White Lace Scarlett O’Hara Costume
This is the Gone with the Wind dress that the young Scarlett O’Hara wore at the beginning of the film, when she flirts with the Tarleton brothers and walks along the river with her father.
I love this Gone with the Wind Dress because it’s such a feminine, classic Southern Belle look, and it’s so close to the real dress from the movie. People will immediately recognize that you’re dressed as Scarlett O’Hara, even if they don’t know the movie that well.
The costume consists of a white lace ruffle bodice with a gold brooch and a dark red belt, just like Scarlett’s. The skirt features cascading layers trimmed in white lace.
Don’t forget the accessories you need to complete this look. Get a Scarlett O’Hara wig, a hoop skirt, white lace gloves, and a Southern Belle lace fan or white lace parasol.
Scarlett O’Hara Curtain Dress
Get the Gone with the Wind curtain dress, perhaps the most beloved Scarlett O’Hara costume from the movie. (Also known as the Portieres dress.)
After the Civil War left her destitute, the still-proud Scarlett wanted to look prosperous as she traveled to Atlanta to seduce Rhett Butler, as she needs his money to save Tara plantation. Scarlett takes down her mother’s green velvet curtains to make a dress from the drapes.
The Scarlett O’Hara curtain dress encapsulates that defiant moment from the film. This costume might not be recognized by people unfamiliar with Gone with the Wind, who might wonder why you’re wearing a curtain (LOL). On the other hand, this costume would be a hit at a theme party or literary event.
The drapery costume itself consists of the velvet dress, cord belt, matching hat with feather and tassels, and a matching velvet purse. You will need to add a hoop skirt to get fullness in the skirt.
Scarlett O’Hara Red Velvet Nightgown Costume
After marrying Rhett, Scarlett once again had a wardrobe full of the fancy garb to which she was accustomed, including this red velvet nightgown. The famous Gone with the Wind nightgown costume features a white lace collar, a lace trim on wide bell sleeves, and a black belt. There are matching velvet buttons all the way down the front of the burgundy dress.
To mimic Scarlett’s look in the film, you should definitely add a white petticoat under this costume, and undo the buttons from the knee downward so the petticoat shows through as you walk. This gives the costume a nice shape and contrast.
Scarlett O’Hara and Rhett Butler Costume
Need a cute couples’ Halloween costume? Go as Scarlett and Rhett! Choose any of the Scarlet O’Hara costumes above, and have your date dress in Rhett Butler costume. Nothing says “Southern Gent” like this cream suit — although Scarlett famously said that Rhett was no gentleman.
This officially licensed men’s Gone With the Wind Halloween costume consists of a cream suit with knee-length jacket, a collared shirt, and a cravat tie. Rhett Butler wore this costume while he and Scarlett were in New Orleans after their wedding.
All he needs to do is add shoes and slick down his hair and add a thin mustache, and your Rhett and Scarlett costume is ready for the spotlight.
Another option for men is to dress like Ashley Wilkes, Scarlett’s one true love. This Ashley Wilkes costume features the tunic Melanie made for him as a Christmas gift in the movie, with the sash made by Scarlett.
Any of these Scarlett O’Hara costumes would be a big hit and get you plenty of compliments. Check out the Gone with the Wind costumes featured above as they were seen in the film:
