Think of all the good a girl could do in the world if one of her dresses could fetch this kind of a price:
School built with money from auction of Audrey Hepburn dress is inaugurated in India

The garment achieved icon status when Audrey Hepburn wore it in the opening scenes of Breakfast at Tiffany's. It sold at auction for $807,000 in December.

The dress, designed by Hubert de Givenchy, was bought back by the company, and then donated to the City of Joy Foundation .
