LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Marilyn Monroe dress that flirted revealingly with a gust of New York subway air in "The Seven Year Itch" fetched $4.6 million at an auction of film memorabilia.
A more sedate outfit worn by Audrey Hepburn in the Ascot race scene of "My Fair Lady" drew a $3.7 million bid at the sale of nearly 600 Hollywood costumes and props collected by film star Debbie Reynolds.
The buyers, who were not identified, also paid a sum to the auction house and other fees, according to auction publicity firm Nancy Seltzer & Associates. That brought the total price to more than $5.6 million for the Monroe costume and $4.5 million for the black-and-white gown worn by Hepburn.

I was at a lovely cocktail event on Friday. Judging by what I saw, you need not worry about such an old fashioned approach. People pretty well dress as they wish now....
Is it pretty? Do you look sensational in it?
Then go for it honey!!
Have a good time!
