When I saw this dress in Atonement, I gasped. It is one of the finest dresses I have ever seen, and now I could own it by bidding here. If I were to buy it I am not too sure what I would do with it, maybe a drag show? $10k is a bit pricy for me, but it would hold its value- if you bought it and hung onto it for 15 or 20 years, you could sell it back to an actress to wear to the oscars, a bit like Julia Roberts did with this Valentino number she wore when she won the Oscar for best actress for Erin Brockovich in 2001. Mr. Valentino insisted that Julia keep the original!
