A replica of Frances Stevens' (Grace Kelly) masquerade costume from Alfred Hitchcock's classic thriller To Catch a Thief. Stevens wore her costume while helping John Robie (Cary Grant) capture a thief targeting a masquerade ball.

This costume was created for a 1970s touring exhibition of iconic designs by Hollywood legend Edith Head, who was nominated for an Academy Award® for her work on the film. It consists of a gold synthetic hair wig labeled "Bob Kelly, New York" on the interior and affixed with a faux dove's wing painted gold; a gold lame 18th century-style strapless evening gown with a fitted bodice, a sweeping pleated skirt, and a "Western Company Co." tag hand-marked "Grace Kelly" on the interior; and a pair of loose, matching lame sleeves. Four hand-painted gold model doves with synthetic feathers are affixed throughout the gown. It exhibits some tearing throughout from wear and age, most notably to the splitting dove bodies.

Estimate: $3,000 - 5,000
