Okay slay I’m just gonna post Hello Dolly!/The Matchmaker related stuff here so there isn’t too much overlap with Cats + all my other stuff - Cus I’ve got so many things I wanna ramble about 🥺😭

I was just watching Hello Dolly and during the scene at Harmonia Gardens with her gorgeous gold gown I was wondering how much it weighed so I looked it up and thought I'd share....

Designed by Irene Sharaff, the dress weighed over 40lbs and it originally had a 2½ft train (that can be briefly seen as she's descending the stairs), but it had to be removed because Barbara and the other dancers kept tripping over it and stepping on it.

Almost 1lb of 14k gold thread & embellishments, along with hundreds of Swarovski crystals & gemstones in various colors were sewn onto a velvet dress.

It was the most expensive dress ever created for a movie. It cost around $66,000 to make in 1969; $8,000 in materials and $58,000 in craftsmanship. And today would cost around $100,000 to make.
