glimpse when she sits on the stairs, but the poufiness of the dress makes
it evident long before that.

BEAUTIFUL --
At the beginning, there are black-and-white
clips of old beauty contests, perhaps all from Miss America pageants. Many
of these clips show (briefly) the glorious gowns of the fifties and early
sixties, bolstered, of course, by crinolines, although they don't show. In
the movie itself, Ms. Driver and others wear various interesting costumes,
including ball gowns and tutu-like dresses.

STORY --
Although most of the store
takes place in the 1920's and 1930's, Ms. Reed clearly wears many
mid-1950's gowns with petticoats. I particularly like the green satin gown
she wears in one scene. Furthermore, there are dance sequences with young
people who are clearly dressed in the styles popular when the movie was
made. Review by Rhonda Risque |

The best petticoat scene ever!
(YouTube video) A very good petticoat undressing scene - Layers
of petticoats (frilly and lacy), and cage-crinoline and bloomers
are presented by Miss del Rio. Though the video is not of very
good quality and in B&W, I think this a real counterpart for the
well-known petticoat scenes in
Gone With the Wind. In
reality, Bugambilia is a flower, but in the movie she represents
the heroine of an aristocratic family during the Mexican
revolution of the 1860's. - Visitor review

BYE BYE BIRDIE --
Many great shots in
this one, but the scene in which the girls all swoon outdoors is wonderful
to take in some scenery.
The opening and closing scenes have a lovely Ms.
Margret rushing toward the camera and playing with her early 50's flaring
skirt. Although she has no dance scenes in this outfit (a pity) in the
final credits, as she again rushes toward the camera, she briefly lifts
her skirt, revealing her petticoat and panties on her left side. It is
really quick, but in slow motion, very delightful, and surely no accident.
