Do you know every line - and wardrobe choice - Hepburn has ever delivered?

Do you dream of window shopping in one of her simple, yet oh-so-elegant little black dresses? Are your measurements 32-22-34?

Then it just might be time to pull out your over-sized black sunglasses and don your most magnificent pearls, because a fantastic lot of Hepburn's clothing and accessories is going to auction.

The event is set to take place in London on 8 December.

Approximately 36 pieces of clothing, dating from 1953 to the late 1960s - including a number of chic LBDs by Valentino, Elizabeth Arden and, of course, Hubert de Givenchy - along with hats, belts and letters come courtesy of Tanja Star-Busmann, a "Darling Chum" to whom Hepburn would pass her unwanted clothes to over the years.

Here are just some of the highlights:

* A Givenchy Chantilly lace cocktail gown she wore in "How to Steal a Million"
* The ivory satin bridal gown designed for Hepburn by the Fontana Sisters for her planned marriage to James Hanson. When Hepburn later called off the wedding, she asked that the dress be given away
* A Givenchy haute couture turquoise cloque silk cocktail gown Hepburn wore to promote "Two for the Road"
* A Givenchy haute couture black cloque silk dress worn to promote the film "Paris When it Sizzles"
* A Givenchy haute couture shocking pink silk crepe wrap

It's hoped the sale will raise around £100,000.

The majority of Hepburn's wardrobe remains in private hands - held mainly by the Audrey Hepburn Children's Foundation and the Givenchy Archive. Very few pieces of Hepburn's clothing have ever come onto the open market.

Fifty percent of the net sale proceeds from the auction will be donated go to The Audrey Hepburn Children's Fund and Unicef for their joint venture All Children in School which aims to provide 115,000,000 children worldwide, not currently in school with a basic education.
