Anyone know any good songs about clothes or attire from musicals? I'm thinking of using it for a theme in a revue, but need more suggestions...

Thanks!

"Presents for Mrs. Rogers" from Will Rogers Follies.

The song is all about jewels that Rogers brings home for Betty to wear.

I always thought that "Rainbow High" from Evita was the definitive song regarding dress.

"All I Need is the Girl" from Gypsy.

Once my clothes WERE shabby
Tailors CALLED me, "Cabbie"
Got so rough I TOOK a vow
Said this bum'LL
Be Beau Brummel
Now I'm smooth and SNAPPY
Now my tailor's happy
I AM the cats meow
My wardrobe is a wow!
Paris silk! HARRIS tweed!
There's only one thing I need...

wickedwitch, "Ribbons Down My Back" from HELLO, DOLLY! is such a gorgeous song, I'm glad you added it. The actress on the 1994 revival recording (her name escapes me) sings it beautifully.
