That's a fantastic story Sans!! Did you ever hear the rest of the story?
When the woman opened up the package and saw it was the dress Diana had worn she was not very happy. She held the dress up to herself in front of a mirror.
"How am I supposed to fit my 200 pound frame in this skinny woman's dress? I thought she would send me one in my size." She sniffs the dress. "I'll be damned! Heifer didn't even have the courtesy to have the thing drycleaned before she sent it! So I'm supposed to be walking around smelling like Diana Ross' underarm sweat and crotch juice? Hell no!"
A few years later, a woman was browsing at a garage sale and saw Diana's outfit, labeled as having once been worn by a famous singer who once sang with members of the Supremes, Temptations, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder and others. Believing that woman was Marlene Barrow, the lady snatched it up for what she would later claim was a bargain.
When she walked out onto the platform for her debut show at the grand opening of a Showbiz Pizza in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, Chantel Baker knocked the crowd dead in that very same dress once worn by Diana Ross.
