I had heard that Astaire found Rogers' famous feather dress very disagreeable to dance in immediate proximity of, though I'd personally never actually noticed any parts of feathers flying off the dress - until my most recent viewing. Wow: When you are expressly looking for moulting feathers (pay specific attention to all throughout the floor area), you see them floating every which way, and just about at all times! And it's not just a little - it's a lot!

Well, if it were 1935 all over again, then you may just be stirring up a hornet's nest on the RKO Radio Pictures set, or perhaps an Ostrich nest. (It's light blue, by the way, and has since been donated to the Smithsonian Institution.)
Ginger and Fred discuss the flowing feathers' incident many years later in each star's autobiography, and also in interview in the 1986 RKO documentary, "Hollywood: the Golden Years," a treasure with some of its greatest stars.
Fred enlisted director Mark Sandrich to attack Ginger, who designed the gown, and who enlisted her mother, Leela, to battle it out with the guys, while the crew remained silent. One crew member finally walked by Ginger at the studio exit, and then he whispered as he passed by, "Well, I liked it."

And, for what it's worth, I like it very much, too, Ginger.

Very interesting articles. Thanks for posting them.
I, too, like the feather dress very much. Definitely a classic.
Wow: Can you believe it's now 82 years old?
