For some reason, I really love this story about Audrey Hepburn. #1) I love her and Breakfast at Tiffany’s is one of my staple movies and #2) I’m on a mission to be a little nicer towards people. Yes, I’m attempting to shave down the well known mean streak I’ve had for years. Now close your mouth from the shock of it all. Thanks.The story of Audrey Hepburn’s never-worn wedding gown, up for auction next week at Sotheby’s, is so lovely:
Made by the Roman Fontana sisters in 1952, before she broke of an engagement to an English aristocrat, the budding star characteristically asked the designers to give the dress away to “the most beautiful, poor Italian girl you can find.” Worn by a peasant girl, who became a farmer’s wife, the dress lay wrapped in tissue paper for four decades before being offered for sale at this auction.
PS: Doesn’t she look stunning?
