Black dress worn by Oprah Winfrey as Sofia in The Color Purple, 1985. Creator: Unknown

Black dress worn by Oprah Winfrey as Sofia in The Color Purple, 1985. The short-sleeved shift dress is made from a single piece of black rayon-cotton blend satin that is folded in half at the shoulder and seamed down each side, with a neck hole cut at the fold. A gusset made of the satin blend is sewn at each side seam reaching approximately 9 inches above the hem. The sleeves are edged with a brown, green, and purple paisley printed cotton and trimmed in red rickrack. Black silk satin panels are sewn into each underarm with the wrong side facing. The collarless neck is also trimmed in the red rickrack. Three (3) squares of the paisley print trimmed in red rickrack are set on point and sewn at the front waist, one at the center front flanked by the other two. Lengths of the paisley print are attached to the outer point of each side square and used as a belt that ties in the back. There is a patch pocket made of the paisley print and trimmed in red rickrack sewn at the proper right front side. The dress is not lined. There are no closures or fasteners as the loose dress is donned by slipping over the wearers head and then tied at the waist. Two tags are sewn to the center back neck; the bottom tag is a white fabric label with handwritten ink text reading " CD 245" above brown printed text reading " Palace Costume Co." ; the top tag is a white fabric label with a barcode adhered to the center front with text above the barcode reading " PALACE COSTUME CO." and text below the barcode reading " 37158666"

Captivating in Black - Oprah Winfrey's Iconic Dress from The Color Purple

EDITORS COMMENTS
. This striking print showcases the black dress worn by Oprah Winfrey as Sofia in the timeless film, The Color Purple, released in 1985. Created by an unknown designer, this short-sleeved shift dress exudes elegance and simplicity. Crafted from a luxurious rayon-cotton blend satin, the dress features a unique construction. A single piece of fabric is folded at the shoulder and seamed down each side, with a neck hole cut at the fold. Adding flair to its design are brown, green, and purple paisley printed cotton trims on the sleeves and collarless neck, adorned with vibrant red rickrack. Notably distinctive are three squares of paisley print trimmed with red rickrack that are sewn on point at the front waist. These squares serve as eye-catching accents while lengths of paisley print act as a belt tied at the back. The attention to detail continues with black silk satin panels sewn into each underarm for added comfort. A patch pocket made of matching paisley fabric can be found on the proper right front side. This dress requires no closures or fasteners; it is effortlessly slipped over one's head and then tied at the waist. Two tags sewn to the center back neck provide insight into its origin - one bearing handwritten text reading "CD 245" above text indicating "Palace Costume Co". The second tag displays a barcode along with text identifying it as belonging to Palace Costume Co. , featuring reference number "37158666". A true testament to Oprah Winfrey's powerful portrayal of Sofia in The Color Purple, this black dress remains an enduring symbol of strength and resilience captured through fashion history.
