Walter Plunkett designed 5,500 costume items for the movie at a cost of $153,818. The cost of laundering these costumes during the filming amounted to $10,000. Unfortunately, many of the costumes for Gone with the Wind were not preserved and disintegrated over time. Others were reused, or discarded, by the Western Costume Company without regard to their historic value. A few remaining costumes are in private collections, and five key costumes are in the vaults of The Selznick Archives at the University of Texas at Austin, and never put on public display. Prominently displayed in the Stager Gallery is the gown Scarlett wore on her New Orleans honeymoon with Rhett.
