There has been a massive call for the refurbishing of costumes worn by actress Vivien Leigh in the hit classic movie “Gone With the Wind” and fans everywhere have stepped up in the occasion to make this undertaking possible.

Several tailors, dry cleaners, seamstresses and volunteers have called the Harry Ransom Center located at the University of Texas and offered their services to take part in the recreation and repair of these dresses.

Center’s collection assistant Jill Morena said that they were overwhelmed by the response of the public n the undertaking.

The Ransom Center officials believe that the best way to make the undertaking possible is for the people to make a donation. The center is hoping to raise about $30,000 to restore the wedding gowns and other costumes worn in this film.

One of the dresses that caught the attention of the viewers was the deep-green curtain dress which was the first wedding dress of Scarlett O’Hara.
