For some, who dreamed from the time they were little girls of dressing like a princess, the dream becomes attainable. The strapless silk chiffon gown that Princess Diana wore to the Cannes Film Festival and the London opening of Miss Saigon in the late 1980's is for sale on eBay.

The gown is up for bids for the second time. WE Television Network purchased it at a 1997 auction at Christie's. The auction included 79 gowns hand-picked by the Princess from her personal collection. Two months later, Princess Diana died in a car crash.

WE TV bought three of the gowns. Company representatives say they are auctioning the flowing Catherine Walker gown, and donating the proceeds to the America's Promise Alliance, a non-profit organization that helps disadvantaged children. The company says the gesture is intended as a tribute to the late princess.
