    Question The Supremes Gowns

    From what i know... At least 8 pairs of dresses of the Supremes were burned in a fire in Mexico in 1974 as:


    The dresses of the last appearance of Diana Ross and The Supremes on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1969

    Does anyone know of other dresses of The Supremes that were burned, or are in poor condition?

    Don't know what happened to these; although they were fine for outdoors, they never would have worked on-stage:

    I think they were on the set of Tarzan costumes, or just were rented

    Weslley, I believe that Mary stated in one of her books that these were also lost in that fire:

    I think Chantel Baker's Supremes inherited those!

    Perhaps you missed it; there are several threads on this exact same topic. One very recently with pictures of every dress that was burned in this catastophe.

    I think if you use the "search" feature, you'll come across one of 1,000 threads dedicated to the Supremes dresses.

    You're welcome! I believe the thread was "Diana's Last Gown as a Supreme."

    Lots of information and pictures.
