[h-cost] Princess Diana Evening Gown Sold

2013-12-04 Thread Penny Ladnier
The Princess Diana dress that I worked with for five years sold at auction
yesterday for $140,000 to a museum. I wonder which museum purchased it.

Fontaine Minor, the previous dress owner and my former client, donated the
auction proceeds to the Princess Diana Charities. I was sitting on pins and
needles until I found out that a museum purchased it.  I was so worried that
a private individual would purchase it and not provide proper care to the
dress.  I kept having nightmares of someone wearing it to a rodeo like one
of the other Diana dress owners did.  A museum getting it makes me feel like
a good ending to a chapter in my life.
