Tiffany's dress now for Indian charity

Now, someone else can try filling out Audrey Hepburn's most iconic dress.

The famed black dress from her film Breakfast At Tiffany's will be put up for auction at Christie's in London, on December 5. Proceeds from the auction -- in the estimated region of $100,000-$140,000 -- will go to an Indian charity organisation, City Of Joy Aid, that rehabilitates the needy in Kolkata.

The 1961 Blake Edwards film, an adaptation of the Truman Capote novella of the same name, was a smash success and her character, Holly Golightly, saw Hepburn rank among the highest paid leading ladies in Hollywood. The dress, which she wears in her opening scene, was designed by Hubert de Givenchy, and had to contend with Hepburn's impossible measurements -- Celebrity Sleuth magazine measured her in 1953 as 34A-20-34.

Hepburn passed away in January 1993 from colon cancer at the age of 63. Since 1989, she campaigned actively as a goodwill ambassador for Unicef.
