Ann Todd dressed as a Greek Column in the film 'Ships with Wings' 1942, this film featured the work of several couturiers but which designer created which gown wasn't established. However, I have since discovered that each couturier dressed a single actress throughout the film. Norman Hartnell dressed Ann Todd



I previously blogged about Ships With Wings here

Its when you see Jessie Matthews dancing in that dress that you realise what genius it is.

Wow, that dress with the scrolled floral motif on it is amazing! I can see where the 80's got their style influences in this one.
