liquidnight: Alfred Cheney Johnston - Dolores (not to be confused with Dolores Costello), Ziegfeld Girl, in peacock plume dress with feathers spread out, circa 1920-23 “Florenz Ziegfeld discovered Kathleen Rose in a New York City dress salon where she worked as a model. Always known simply as “Dolores,” she became one of the most famous of Ziegfeld’s show girls, appearing in editions of his Follies and Midnight Frolics. She is one of many Ziegfeld girls photographed by Alfred Cheney Johnston. This photograph is particularly significant as a record of a spectacular design. It was in the Frolics that Dolores wore this white satin costume with pearls and an enormous fan towering over her statuesque figure.” [From the Library of Congress website] [via trialsanderrors]
