Vivien Leigh's iconic pale blue negligee, which her character Scarlett O'Hara wore in 'Gone With The Wind', has been put up for auction.

The negligee that Leigh wore in the scene in which her daughter dies in a riding accident, is expected rake in 45,000 pounds, the Daily Express reported.

The gown was given to one of the costume company's seamstresses as a wedding present after the filming was finished.

The gown remained in her family until the 1980s when it was sold to a collector, who has now put it up for auction by Bonhams in New York.
