I stood face to face with this dress when I was in London back in September. There is a Christie's auction house in my mom's neighborhood of South Kensington. It was on display later to be auctioned off. It was just there in the middle of a room on a mannequin behind a velvet rope, unattended. I could have reached out and touched it if I'd wanted to...no protective case or anything.
The thing about it that struck me was how small Audrey Hepburn must have been to fit into it. it was the tiniest waist I've ever seen on a dress. Very cool.
Of course it smelled of wet cats and that guy from the A Team. Ha.

She suffered from poor nutrition during those crutial adolescent growth years hiding out from the Nazis. Yes, made her very thin indeed.
Classy dress, classy lady.

Wow. Yeah, I knew they were auctioning it off a while back. I wish I could have seen it. Could you tell what kind of fabric it was made of? I read somewhere that it was a Givenchy pattern/dress, but I haven't yet read (or have forgotten) what the material was.
And rest assured, if I *do* make this dress, I won't be hugging any wet cats. Or guys from the A-Team. :lol

Looks like a silk charmeuse or possibly a satin. Definitely silk tho.
