Amy Anderson said:

"I've been obsessed with this dress since 1989. This was an actual fashion crime."

Liz M. wrote:

"It's about the ridiculous entitlement (KK) and carelessness (Ripley's). I'm not a fashion historian, but even I can see the irreparable damage to that dress. Even after she lost 16lbs."

Marhesi added:

"I'm a folk costume tailor and theatre costume maker myself, but you really don't need to be even close to an expert to know that wearing that specific dress was a bad idea from the start. It's a 60 year old fragile silk dress covered in heavy crystals. It's not exactly rocket science to understand that wearing it was (and is) a bad idea."
