This is a beautiful black satin dress that was purchased at a well known auction house. The group of items were all movie costumes from the 60's. The auction company said this gown was possibly worn by Anita Ekberg, but I don't think they knew for sure. It is definitely her style of dress. One of the pictures shows her in a similar dress. The only label inside the dress is an MGM label. There is a slit in the front of the dress, made as part of the design, but also the slit has slit farther up than before. A good seamtress could fix that. I don't think the dress will fit in a large Priority box, so regular box will have to be used. I put .00 for shipping, but if it costs less, I will refund the difference.
