Cape and Shoes from The Barefoot Contessa

This stunning silk satin cape, embroidered with gold thread and brass sequins, was worn by Ava in publicity shots for The Barefoot Contessa. However, the costume does not appear in the movie and may have been included in scenes that were deleted in the final cut of the film.

Ava's wardrobe for Contessa included 23 pairs of shoes. Cast in a role that most critics agree paralleled her private life, Ava played the character of Maria Vargas. As the film's title implies, both Ava and Maria preferred to forego shoes whenever possible.

Dress from the film The Great Sinner

Within the Main Case of the Museum Gallery is a visitor favorite: the black dress Ava wore in The Great Sinner. Visitors often remark on the diminutive size of the dress and exclaim over her waist size – 18 inches.

It would be difficult to write a boring book about silk. The fact that Ava Gardner's glossy pyjamas or Marie-Antoinette's luscious bedhangings both originated from a tiny hole under the mouth of a squidgy little caterpillar is astonishing enough to rival the most inventive science fiction.
