Anyone that cannot appreciate the workmanship that went into creating it is an neophyte! Given the hefty sum that this went for at the last auction (Marilyn items like this will always command a tidy sum). doubtful that you would ever see someone donning it. A prom dress? This is more of a Ritz occasion evening dress and sure can't see a replica showing up at a prom! Sorry but a prom is just not in the same class. A replica for the Oscars? Maybe that would work but even then, there are only a few female celebrities that could pull it off body wise and make it work.

Still, it IS pretty impressive. With it's wispy gauzy fabric and glittering rhinestones. Yet other than that, it is plain. This is for her, nobody else will ever look as good as her in that dress. However, although it is extremely beautiful and elegant, I do not want it even if I had the money to buy it. It doesn't suit me. Kinda stupid to spend so much money on a dress don’t you think?

I saw this gown and other Monroe items at Christies in Beverly Hills back in 1999. The gown is actually a pinkish / beigh color. The gown was fitted on a headless and armless clear mannequin, I was able to see right through it and the wall behind it!!! And the beads!!!!

I've never read about it's original price, and doubt it's ever actually been revealed. Mr Louis has always been private about his clients and business. Not only is he known for this gown, but also the notorious flesh gown that Marlene Dietrich had to be sewn into for her Vegas stage debut. He has 14 Academy Award nominations for Best Costume Design.
