The main reason O’Hara has been able to withstand the test of time is because of everything she represents. O’Hara stands for each thing a true southern ball should be.

1. Ball Gown

In Gone With The Wind Scarlett’s constant wardrobe choice was a ballgown. When shopping for your gown you can just skip the mermaid, trumpet, a-line racks and head straight for the ballgowns. Ballgowns come in so many different options to make your head spin. A tip for the wise would be to try and stick to what you love, even if it means picking the most basic gown ( which is never a bad thing, Hello accessories).
