Oprah gives away her Custom Couture Brian Rennie for Basler Dress to a Twitter Fan

Who knew that if you only had asked Oprah for the clothes off her back that she’d give it to you! Well Oprah did just that when a very luckyTwitter fan asked Oprah in a Tweet if she could have her dress worn on the February cover of Essence Magazine.Oprah wore a custom couture dress by designer Brian Rennie for Basler.

I can only imagine what Brandi must have been feeling when she saw Oprahs response to her request saying

“you’re right I won’t ever wear it again, contact my asst.and show her this tweet”

Atlanta fan Brandi didn’t wait a split second (nor would have I) to contact Oprahs Assistant Amy Weinblum to share the dress tweet with her.

All I can say is that Oprah is Amazing! And good for you @snobaby28 Brandi for asking. And I can’t wait to see you in that stunning Dress!
Baslers couture collection Is to die for, as I’ve had the opportunity to see Brian’s work up close. I wasn’t sure what this particular dress was made of so I decided to reach out to Brian to ask. The Brian Rennie for Basler couture line is easily in the few thousands of dollars price point,but well worth every dollar. Basler can be found exclusively at Bloomingdales through out the United States and in Europe.
