The iconic white chiffon dress, the pink satin number from Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and the purple costume from How To Marry A Millionaire - you have got the chance to see them all.

A collection of dresses created for Hollywood legend Marilyn Monroe by William Travilla will be showcased at The Royal Hotel in Deal this weekend.

Other items to be exhibited include original patterns and sketches produced by the late designer, as well as his Oscar and Emmy Award trophies.


KentOnline's Sinead Hanna went to see the collection - watch her video report above.


The Travilla Collection tour has been organised by Andrew Hansford to raise funds for Alzheimer’s and runs until Sunday.

Mr Hansford said: “The importance of the Travilla Collection cannot be under-estimated. These are priceless iconic dresses from Marilyn Monroe’s golden era on the silver screen, and now on view for all to see."
