When the original Givenchy dress (upon which the actual costume worn during the filming was based) went up for auction in December 2006 (right after Natalie Portman modeled it on the cover of Harpers Bazaar), Christies described it as [a]n evening gown of black Italian satin designed by Hubert de Givenchy for Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly in the 1961 Paramount film Breakfast At Tiffanys, the sleeveless, floor-length gown with fitted bodice embellished at the back with distinctive cut-out dcollet, the skirt slightly gathered at the waist and slit to the thigh on one side. It sold for over $600,000
A bustle pulls the back of the dress off the ground so it doesn't get soiled, it allows the bride to move around after the ceremony with ease, and it alleviates some of the fear of tripping over a long train
While finding the perfect frock can be fun, it can also be a tad bit stressful
You can assemble it completely ahead of time and serve the next day, or prepare individual ingredients (cook the pasta, slice the olives, mix the dressing) and toss together just before serving
Blue and purple are next to each other on the color wheel, so theyre made to go together
