Kardashian wore the dress for a short amount of time on the red carpet, before changing into a replica
In a blog post, Ripley's said there was already damage to the dress when it acquired it at auction in 2016 for $4.8 million.
"A report written on the dress's condition in early 2017 states,"a number of the seams are pulled and worn," it said. "This is not surprising given how delicate the material is. There is puckering at the back by the hooks and eyes, among other instances of damage."It said Kardashian wearing the dress had sparked a conversation:"No matter which side of the debate you are on, the historical importance of the dress has not been negated, but rather highlighted.Ripley's said it will continue to exhibit the dress"in as-is condition" through the autumn.
The International Council of Museums has since issued a statement, discouraging collectors from loaning out historical garments to be worn.It said:"Although the dress belongs to a private collection, the heritage must be understood as belonging to humanity, regardless of which institution has custody of the property.
"As museum professionals, we strongly recommend all museums to avoid lending historic garments to be worn, as they are artifacts of the material culture of its time, and they must be kept preserved for future generations."
