If any of you saw the Elena Gilbert Ball Gown Dress worn in the costume contest from The Vampire Diaries San Francisco Convention, it is up for sale! That’s right, the dress will be available for auction on September 7, 2012!

This is an exact replica of the dress that Elena wore in Episode 03×14 “Dangerous Liaisons” to the Mikaelson Ball! If you think Elena looked stunning in the dress, imagine yourself wearing it! How would you like to own this beautiful gown?

A portion of the proceeds from the auction will be donated to ISF in honor of Ian Somerhalder, and a portion will be donated to Free the Bears in honor of Nathaniel Buzolic! The seller of the dress has been in contact with Nathaniel and he has personally chosen this charity especially for this auction!

So if you are even considering purchasing the dress, go for it! The proceeds support two wonderful causes! Support your favorite TVD actors and something that is truly important to them.

If you would still like to support ISF and Free the Bears without bidding on the dress, then participate in a drawing for a free IAN SOMERHALDER AUTOGRAPH! For every $5 you donate, you will be entered once in a drawing to win an autographed photo which was signed personally by Ian Somerhalder at the TVDSF Convention!
