The dress will go on display at the Museo De La Moda, a South American fashion museum in Santiago, Chile which acquired the iconic property.
The English singer songwriter, who died in July of 2011 due to alcohol poisoning, is best remembered for her powerful deep contralto vocals and her eclectic mix of musical genres including R&B, soul and jazz as well as her sometimes eccentric behaviour.
