I've been deep in conversation on FB and IG about this, so I'm sharing my opinion here, too, just so I'm crystal clear on my position.

When I posted the appearance of #MarilynMonroe's dress at the #MetGala, I did not share any of my feelings about it. But I will now. #TCM 1/7 This never should have happened. This is a dress that's culturally significant to both the film and fashion communities and a tremendous amount of work has gone into its preservation since 1962. For those of us who wear vintage, we know how fragile these garments can be. #TCM 2/7
