TAMPA --

If fashion, not football, is your idea of a super event then head to Hyde Park Village.

Beginning today, the South Tampa shopping village is hosting "Dresses for Humanity II," an exhibit of gowns, suits and dresses worn by Diana, the Princess of Wales, who died in a Paris car accident in 1997.

The exhibit includes 17 fashion ensembles worn by the princess, including the famed "Pink India Gown" created for a royal tour in 1992.

The exhibit runs through April 1 at the village, 720 S. Village Circle. The exhibit is open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

Tickets are $12.50, $5 for ages 6 to 12 and free for ages 5 and younger.

A portion of proceeds benefits the Tampa Museum of Art and related charities.
