Photographic Print : Ruth Hussey in Flight Command (1940)
Photo Prints From Mary Evans Picture Library
Ruth Hussey in Flight Command (1940)
Ruth Hussey in Flight Command (1940) wearing a dress designed by Dolly Tree and suitable for either afternoon dress or as a dinner date. Made of steel grey crepe, it had full graceful sleeves with extra-wide cuffs, which were the keynote to the simply-cut gown, which keep the slim silhouette, yet achieved fullness through the shirring. The street length skirt was flared. The V neckline of the dress is caught in a bow made of the same material as the dress and another bow ties the wide belt, which fastened at the side. Fullness comes from the bodice yoke, which continues to the back of the dress. A narrow band on the cuffs ties in the same type of bow as at the neck and waistline. It was described as simply elegant and a prime example of how clothes that were attractive and practical form the basis of a contemporary wardrobe. Date: 1940

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1940, the radiant Ruth Hussey dons a stunning steel grey crepe gown designed by the renowned costume designer Dolly Tree for the film "Flight Command." This versatile dress, suitable for both afternoon engagements and dinner dates, showcases the elegance and sophistication of Hollywood's golden age. The graceful full sleeves, boasting extra-wide cuffs, gracefully frame Hussey's slender silhouette. The sleeves' shirring adds fullness to the dress without compromising its streamlined design. The street-length, flared skirt completes the look, adding a touch of playfulness to the ensemble. The V-neckline of the dress is accentuated by a bow made from the same steel grey crepe material as the gown. A wide belt, fastened at the side, ties another bow, adding an element of refinement and definition to the waistline. The bodice yoke, which continues to the back of the dress, provides additional fullness while maintaining the dress's contemporary and chic aesthetic. A narrow band on the cuffs ties in the same type of bow as at the neck and waistline, adding a cohesive and polished touch to the design. This simply elegant gown serves as a prime example of how attractive and practical clothes formed the foundation of a contemporary wardrobe during the 1940s. Ruth Hussey's captivating presence and the timeless beauty of Dolly Tree's design shine in this photograph, transporting us back to the jazz-infused, glamorous era of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studios.
