Doris, if anyone deserves this dress, you do. Thank you for keeping fashion alive and for respecting the history of each piece. What a spine tingling find.
Doris, please please please write a book... or two! An autobiography/memoirs would be amazing. I love listening to you talk about anything and everything. Your knowledge is beautifully amazing and I love all of the stories you share. Sending love and gratitude!
I cried just looking at the dress not only because Breakfast At Tiffany's is up there with my all-time favorite fashion films but looking at how lovingly cared for and preserved it is... in pristine condition. Congratulations and more power Doris!
I love this story, I have had a similar event, I bought a costume piece, a uniform jacket, in a thrift store that had the studio tag, what I did was to contact the Library of Congress who sent me some images from movies made by the studio that might have such uniform costumes and discovered that the jacket was used in the movie, The Prisoner of Zenda, the jacket sold to a movie collector in Paris. This is the great part of the business we are in Doris, I love the research almost as much as finding the treasure.
You look amazing!!!! Loved hearing the story. Boy did women know how to dress back in the day. Brings back memories of me as a little girl attending church with my Grandma both of us all decked out in our dresses, hat and gloves.
I've always ADORED this outfit from when I first saw the movie, the 2pc Givenchy Haute Couture and that fabulous orange coat. I would wear that today in a second. Timeless beauty! How amazing you had the Givenchy piece in your office!! So wonderful!! 💜
My favourite actress. I am surprised that this amazing piece is actually a skirt and top rather than a dress, and I am taking note of the interesting shoulder closing. Wonderful find, and btw Doris you look so beautiful.
What a great find! I'm so happy that you found and preserved for future generations to enjoy! You saved this piece! So many props were lost over time and for many years after a production wrapped the items would just get thrown in a warehouse for another production to pull the item for another movie or props would just get sold off to public for hardly anything. Debbie Reynolds pushed and pushed for preservation and very few people took her serious. She had the vision of a Hollywood museum. Nobody understood how important her vision was! What a glorious woman that shined so bright! I sure miss her and Carrie Fisher! I loved them so much! Doris, I love when you create these videos with Julien's auctions! I personally don't think that you should sell it. You could still own it and loan it on exhibit. I think that you will miss it! I believe when a person has a piece of something that was so big and iconic and magical, it's like well known artwork, the magic still surrounds the item, forever. Always sending my love to you Doris and your staff! 🎨🌞🎶💃❤️
How cool is that?! Good for you, Doris! How exciting! (I'm behind on my YouTubing and came here to start catching up... good start!) Doris, you look freakin' fantastic! It's good to see you each and every posting, but you look amazing here. I hope it's because you and yours are doing well in these crazy days! You help me do better, myself, in these crazy days. You are a gift that keeps on giving. And I thank you for being you! If I had a bucket-list, visiting you would be near the top. For you. For vintage. For fashion. For grace.
Wow!, what a great collab! It would be awesome to see a more in depth video on this channel abt the piece and how it was acquired, researched, the decision to sell, etc… Bc I Loved watching this vid featuring such talented experts as this “dynamic duo”. Really appreciate being able to listen to their interesting analysis and learn abt the authentication process, as well as the story behind this gorgeous, incredible, iconic outfit. I look forward to (hopefully!) finding out where this amazing piece of film/fashion history will journey to next. And yes, we all do love stories like this- especially when they result in such an incredible work of art not only being saved, but saved by Doris! Here’s hoping it will be preserved for future generations and exhibited to the public, so that the world is able to not only see and get to know it, but so that ppl may have the chance to admire this lovely garment that was designed by a fashion genius and showcased in such a beloved, classic film; and they might also have the ability to learn more about the inspirational, beautiful and incredible woman that made it famous.
Coincidentally, I used to live in the street where Audrey used to live as a dancer. In that same street I started to watch your videos and it is fun and assuring to know the dress is in your very safe hands. :)
Doris, this story is amazing, thank you for sharing and congratulations!!! I just can imagina the surprise, the happiness , the amuse you felt, the moment you realize what's in your hands. I'lll keep an eye on the auction, wish you a lovely weekend!!!
😍SO happy & excited for you Doris!!!! Now a days with the internet making it easier to search provenance etc. I’m certain you’ll find more treasures in those closets of yours!!🥰
I love this story and was so excited to see you so excited!! When you report on the auction- will you share the price you paid as well?? You look gorgeous!! You have the most beautiful hair and the outfit is divine!!
If I may be honest, if maybe controversial, I never got the magic of Breakfast at Tiffany's, let alone Pretty Woman or the many other movies glamorising the lives of hookers.
The appeal was primarily due to the casting. Audrey Hepburn and Julia Roberts were beautiful, charismatic and looked fabulous in fashion. In addition, the stories were romantic - both women were transformed by true love. The male leads were equally beautiful and charming. The movies checked all the boxes.
Doris, if anyone deserves this dress, you do. Thank you for keeping fashion alive and for respecting the history of each piece. What a spine tingling find.
Keeping fashion Alive ? ✨️ what are you talking about. 🧊🚿
What a beautiful thing to say. I love Doris and this channel
Congratulations Doris. Lot # 777 $156,250.00. Hoping it was purchased by a museum for the public to enjoy. Keep rocking!
Thank you

Amazing story Doris, and you look so well these days.
The biggest shocker to this whole thing is Doris had it for 12-15 years! Holy crap you are seriously busy!
Also LOVE what you are wearing for this clip Doris! Sexy & fun!
What a wonderful find!! I really love when classic film costumes are found and saved! Debbie Reynolds was very much into the preservation
It's beautiful! Congratulations Doris!)) Oh don't let Kim wear it.
My congratulations, I admire the Givenchy brand as its Founder, as well as the Muse and the famous film. I admire you Dori... Oh the lamp...
What a wonderful provenance story. Oh, how I love Audrey Hepburn. Thank you so much.
