The dress Amy Winehouse wore for the cover of her Back To Black album has fetched $67,500 at auction according to Kerry Taylor Auctions in London. That's 4 times the amount it was originally being asked for!

The Foundation Museo de la Moda in Chile won the auction with the proceeds going to the Amy Winehouse Foundation. Amy's father Mitch was at the auction and said:

"We are just over the moon and this is a wonderful start to the foundation," 

The foundation was started after the July 23, 2011 untimely death of the 27 year old singer/songwriter who had long battled drugs and alcohol but, at the time of her death, hadn't taken drugs for 3 years. She did, however, go on a drinking binge which was the cause of her death. The foundation's aim is to help vulnerable young people.

A posthumous album featuring never heard songs from Amy will be released December 6.
