The dress is made of platinum grey Chantilly lace lined in silk charmeuse. The flounce is a sunburst pleat of silk organza. The most affordable look that the special edition put together belongs to a fairly new starlet, Ellen Pompeo. A portion of the proceeds of the sale of the dress will go to Underwood’s charity of choice, The Humane Society of the United States for their Rural Area Veterinary Services Program, and Kwiat’s charity of choice, The Make-A-Wish Foundation(R). The auction will begin at 8:00am EST on Wednesday, November 29th and will end on Wednesday, December 6th. Visit www.gottahaveit.com for more information. Since her debut onto the country music scene at last year’s CMA Awards, Underwood’s album SOME HEARTS has sold over 4 million copies and placed 3 singles in the #1 chart position, including current song “Before He Cheats.” |
And as of this week, SOME HEARTS has sold more than any album currently on the 75-position Billboard Top Country Albums sales chart.
