The north London singer's dress was bought by the Museo de la Moda, a fashion museum in Santiago, Chile.

Winehouse's father Mitch said he was "over the moon" that the designer, Disaya, donated the proceeds to a foundation set up in her memory.

Mitch Winehouse was present at the sale in central London which was organised by Kerry Taylor Auctions.

He said: "We are just over the moon and we owe a great debt to the designer, Disaya, who donated the proceeds from the sale."

A new album of the singer's unreleased tracks, titled 'Lioness: Hidden Treasures', will be released on Monday December 5 with £1 from each album sold going to the foundation, which has donated £30,000 to three children's charities.

Winehouse said: "We are particularly keen to make donations in Camden, a place very close to the family's hearts as Amy's home."

Dresses worn by Elizabeth Taylor and Audrey Hepburn were also on sale.

The 27-year-old singer was found dead at her flat in Camden in July.
