The dress worn by Amy Winehouse during her final stage performance has sold for more than $243,000 (£180,000) at auction.

A sale in the US of more than 800 items – including designer clothing and underwear, handwritten notes and accessories – from the late singer’s estate raised more than $4m (£3m) for charity.

All proceeds will go towards the foundation Winehouse‘s parents set up in her memory, which helps young people suffering from addiction.

The figure-hugging halter minidress, designed by stylist Naomi Parry, was worn by the artist during her final show in Belgrade, Serbia – where she was booed off stage after appearing to forget her lyrics – a month before her death aged 27.

The bamboo and floral print dress sold for 16 times the original estimate.

The bold red leather heart-shaped Moschino bag Winehouse took to the 2007 Brit Awards, a night she won the British female solo artist award, fetched $204,800 (£152,000) – 13 times the pre-auction estimate.

A Temperley London tan and black jumpsuit worn for her performance celebrating Nelson Mandela’s 90th birthday was estimated at $1,000 but sold for more than $121,000 (£90,000).
