It was perhaps the most memorable fashion moment from a movie this year, the bottle-green evening dress worn by Keira Knightley in the Oscar-nominated movie, Atonement. The dress is worn during the dramatic scenes between Knightley and James McAvoy. Designers have been copying this dress since the movie came out but if you are a size 2 you can wear the real thing. Clothes Off Our Backs is auctioning off one of the dresses made for Keira Knightley to wear during filming (multiple dresses were made because the dress is delicate). The dress being auctioned off was made under the supervision of, and has been authenticated by, Jacqueline Durran, who is nominated for an Academy Award for her costume design of Atonement. Last time I checked bidding was up to $3,200 with another 19 days left to go in the auction. Proceeds will benefit The Children's Charity of Southern California.
