Amy Winehouse dresses stolen

Two of Amy Winehouse's dresses have been stolen.

Thieves nabbed the late singer's wedding dress and a newsprint outfit that she wore on Jools Holland's BBC show from the Camden house in which she died last year.

The clothes were earmarked for charity auction and were expected to reach a combined total of £130,000.

Father Mitch Winehouse told The Sun that the culprit most likely knew of the significance of the dresses, especially the outfit she wore to marry Blake Fielder-Civil in 2006. Speaking about the theft, he said:

"It's a blow. It's sickening that someone would steal something in the knowledge of its sentimental value."

The taxi driver continued: "The house in Camden is being sold so all of her possessions have been tagged, numbered and logged in preparation of storage. There was a window of about two days while that process was underway when the dresses could have been taken. A few people were involved and there was some coming and going. We're going through everything else to see what else, if anything, has been lifted. We are all baffled as to why some of her designer dresses didn't go too. There were a couple from Dolce & Gabbana worth a fortune. Her wedding dress was only a little cotton thing, a hundred quid at best in the shops. Whoever nicked it realised its significance and knew it had an extra value."

The two dresses were due to be auctioned for the Amy Winehouse Foundation, which funds a number of charities including children's hospices and drug counselling services.
