Dave,
I had the chance to go to Bonhams here in LA, for the preview... and
this costume was not behind any glass or plexi.. it was on a form,
right on the floor, in front of some GILDA posters on the wall behind
it.
Anyone could touch it if they wanted .. and some were....
Beautiful.. and it was on display right next to Hayworth's other
dress from the film, The Loves of Carmen.

On the other hand - on the issue of costumes - I personally know
the consignor of the "Amado Mio" dress from "Gilda" - and was in
the bidding room when it was first acquired for $25,000 back in
2000 at Butterfield's/Bonham's. (See pics below.) Today it sold
in NY for $161,000 ($130,000 hammer). Even after all the buyer's
and seller's premiums are paid, the consignor, who is just a fan
like me and was never an investor, is getting a nice payday.
