'The gown had been expected to fetch up to $2 million, with bids closing Wednesday. But things didn’t quite pan out the way people had expected.
Instead, the dress went unsold, having failed to meet the seller’s minimum sale price. Bidders stopped short of the minimum price its owners required to make a sale ($1 million), with a final bid amount of $975,000.
Propstore, the company behind the auction, said it was still actively accepting post-auction offers on the dress.
“It may be sold after the auction in a private-treaty sale, or may be re-offered again in a future auction,” the company said in a statement to NPR.’
