The most critically acclaimed sketch from Carol Burnett was "Went With The Wind", the Gone WIth the Wind parody. In fact that is one of the most critically acclaimed sketches of all time. Carol Burnett's Gone with the Wind parody has made many "funniest shows of all time" lists over the years, and one of the defining moments of the sketch was when Carol (as "Starlett O'Hara") descends the stairs at Tara wearing the green velvet drapes with the curtain rod still in them and admits, "I saw it in a window and I couldn't resist." The original script called for Burnett to have the curtains tossed haphazardly over her shoulders, but Mackie decided that it would be funnier to create an actual dress and leave the hanger intact across her shoulders. He is slightly bitter all these years later that of all his magnificent creations, that "joke" dress has become his signature piece; of all the memorable glamorous gowns he's created for celebrities over the decades, that curtain rod dress is the one that hangs in the Smithsonian.
