Amy Winehouse's dress to be auctioned

The dress that late singer Amy Winehouse wore on the front cover of her album 'Back to Black' is being auctioned.

It is being sold at Kerry Taylor's auction house on 29 November alongside the dress Audrey Hepburn wore to collect her Oscar for 'Roman Holiday'.

The chiffon print frock worn by Winehouse is set to fetch £20,000 when it goes under the hammer.

All of the proceeds will be donated to the Amy Winehouse Foundation, which was set up by her parents to help youngsters who are vulnerable and using substances.

Kerry Taylor, the auctioneer, said: "In my opinion, what makes this particular dress so special is that it is an emblematic reminder of the magic voice and sublime talent of Amy Winehouse - a sound that resonates with an entire generation and always will."

The dress was lent to Winehouse by designer Disaya who stored the outfit in her archive after the singer had shot her album cover.

Following Winehouse's death on 23 July 2011, the designer decided the dress should be displayed and sold at auction to raise funds for the charity.

Earlier this month, it was ruled that Winehouse had died from imbibing too much alcohol. She had publicly battled with addictions to drink and drugs.
