• Standard length from shoulder to hem is 72cms. Length can vary a few cms depending on size and the product showcased has been altered in length to best fit the model’s height.

Psst, wanna know who Hattie is?
Hattie McDaniel is well known for her role in Gone with the Wind, a role which was honoured with an Academy Award, making Hattie the first black woman to win it. Segregation laws prevented her from attending the film’s premiere in Atlanta, Georgia, but later she proudly accepted her Academy Award as best supporting actress for this role. McDaniel appeared in more than 300 films and her own radio series, Beulah. Hattie’s Oscar was donated to Howard University through her will. It sat there in a display case until 1972, when it was boxed up and stored away and hasn’t been seen since.
