Mary Steenburgen's Western gown from Back to the Future Part III...

In the third installment of the Back to the Future time-travel adventure trilogy, Michael J. Fox's 'Marty McFly' ventures into the Old West to rescue his mad professor friend, 'Dr. Emmett "Doc" Brown' who is trapped in 1885 and working as a local blacksmith.

This vibrant purple Western gown worn by Mary Steenburgen in the movie as Hill Valley school teacher 'Clara Clayton' was photographed on display, alongside some original props from the movie trilogy, at Universal Studios Hollywood on July 30, 2013.

Clara falls in love with 'Doc' when when he and Marty rescue her from an out-of-control horse-drawn wagon and stops her falling into a ravine.
