A late 19th-century fitted bodice-style blouse with peplum as seen worn by Elizabeth Taylor as Mary Skinner in the film Life with Father (Warner Brothers 1947). A silk-faille Victorian style fitted bodice/blouse designed for Elizabeth Taylor as Mary Skinner. The blouse in the film is a pale pastel blue, the material has turned a soft pink. The color discoloration is likely due to cleaning and storage at the film studio post-production. The original pale blue can be confirmed by the pale blue thread color that hasn’t changed and the silk-wool lining at the underside of the bustle (also pale blue). The blouse’s princess seams allow for a nice fit typical for that period’s style. The dropped Basque waist with exaggerated peplum was a key design element of the period, as well as a dramatic bustle at the back, pleated with inverted godets and a handkerchief hem. The blouse is trimmed with tulle, bobbin lace, silk ribbon (the ribbon has begun to disintegrate), and pale blue silk velvet. Hook-and-eye closures are at the front with a non-functioning button placket of cream grosgrain silk, which runs from the neck to above the hips. A label at the front closure reads, “Warner Brother’s Pictures Inc.” and handwritten in pen is “A 981-662.” Plus, handwritten at the interior neckline are studio initials WBS and a blue paper tag stapled at the right seam stamped with “WB” with a handwritten serial number “16619 SC.” Academy Award-winning costume designer Marjorie Best designed the costumes for the film, she also worked with Elizabeth Taylor on Giant. Victorian blouses featured numerous embellishments and trim as women’s fashions were a walking advertisement of a man’s wealth and status, ensembles consisting of silk, velvet, and lace showcased vogue fashions but also affluence.
