The postcard of Diana's dresses was to announce the exhibit of some of her beautiful dresses. The exhibit was held at the American Textile History Museum in my home city. As a docent there, I saw it many times during the time it was there, from November 1, 1998 - January 17, 1999. Everybody was moved by just about everything...the fact that we were able to see the dresses and gowns, but to see large posters of her at the time she wore them. Seeing these things brought much sadness because she was no longer with us. It was so mixed, so much happiness and sadness. All the gowns were encased in plexiglass squares, so we could see all around each dress. This was an extremely popular exhibit. Of course, this was maybe more moving to me, since I had personally seen her.
A few years later, the Museum exhibited dresses worn by many Hollywood stars in their movies. I have that flyer too, I believe. There I did touch Judy Garland's blue dress, worn in The Wizard of Oz. Other dresses were worn by Elizabeth Taylor, Bette Davis and many others.
