The infamous Marilyn Monroe dress worn in 'The Seven Year Itch' - 1955. It went for $4.6 million at auction.
I had such an amazing time at the Debbie Reynolds auction preview, and I'm still sad that this phenomenal collection is no longer together - le sigh. If the video (see the below post) didn't quite satiate your curiosity I have put together the pictures of some of my favourites plus a little more detail. I apologise for the quality - the website stated no camera, so I came ill prepared and the battery on my SLR ran out - so most of these were taken with my phone!
Enjoy.

I am a museum Director (small...mainly decorative arts... in Santa Monica) and would love to do a temporary fashion exhibition (perhaps of past and present films). Any ideas? How would I get in touch with the people who bought items from the Debbie Reynolds Collection. Who are the big collectors of film fashion? This is new research.
I wonder if there is any interest?
It would be fun to include a "Runway" show to go along with the exhibition? I can be reached at calmuseum@earthlink.net
