(20th Century Fox, 1954) A costume from "There's No Business Like Show Business" worn by screen legend Ethel Merman playing Molly Donahue. At 16:24 into the film, Merman wears this jacket and skirt combo while reading a radio commercial for Shelby's Coffee. The costume was designed by Miles White, also known for "Around the World in 80 Days" and "The Greatest Show on Earth." Made of a cotton-poly blend with chiffon cuffs and collar, the jacket measures 17" shoulder-to-shoulder and 16" long, with the skirt having a 27" waist and 29" length. The costume is in very good condition, with some wear from use and age, especially to the chiffon which has turned off white over time.
