This is the ivory satin bridal gown designed for Audrey for her planned wedding to James Hanson in 1952. The wedding never took place so Audrey wanted the dress to be worn by someone who couldn’t ever afford a dress like hers so she asked the designers to find the most beautiful, poor Italian girl. The dress was then donated to Amabile Altobella, a poverty stricken young Italian girl engaged to be married to a farm worker. They stayed married, had three daughters, and five grandchildren!
