The wedding gown Dame Elizabeth Taylor wore when she married her first husband Conrad Hilton, Jr., is all set to go under the hammer on 23 June 2013.

The 'Cleopatra' star, who was only 18 when she tied the knot with the hotel heir on 6 May, 1950, wore an oyster shell-colored, floor-length satin dress.

The special piece is to be auctioned off by Christie's in London, where it is expected to fetch more than 75,300 dollars, Contactmusic reported.

The frock was designed Grace Kelly's wedding dress creator- Helen Rose and it has an incredibly thin 22-inch waist.

The late movie icon had tied the knot seven times in her life.
