A Chance To Be A Princess

That's right, the chance to purchase one of the beautiful gowns worn by Princess Diana will be ending on Wednesday, August 22. Listed by WEtv, this gorgeous Catherine Walker evening gown was worn by Princess Diana to the Cannes Film Festival in 1987 and to the opening of Miss Saigon in 1989. And hold on to your hats, the auction has an opening bid of $125,000 for which you'll have to get pre-qualified if you want to bid. 

The "People's Princess" as Diana is commonly referred to, was admired and loved by so many around the world.  It's appropriate now as the 10th anniversary of the tragic car accident in Paris that ended her life early approaches, that one of the stunning evening gowns she wore is put on auction for others to enjoy.

100% of proceeds of your purchase went to Colin Powell's America’s Promise Alliance, the nation’s largest alliance of corporations, nonprofit organizations, foundations, policymakers, advocacy and faith groups committed to ensuring that children receive the fundamental resources—the Five Promises—they need to lead successful, healthy lives.

So be sure to set your eBay wireless to notify you this Wednesday, August 22 when the listing ends so maybe you or someone you love can have a chance to be a princess. Good luck!
