From CiN Spin:

Keira Knightley…does the name ring a bell? Think Best Picture Academy Award-nominee Atonement. Now do you recall who I’m talking about?

If you do, then you’ll soon find out that her green evening dress worn in Atonement will be auctioned off in an online auction by the Clothes Off Our Back Foundation beginning tomorrow, Friday February 1 until Saturday March 1.

Bidding starts at $1,000 for the emerald backless dress seen in the movie’s romantic sequences. All proceeds from the auction will benefit Variety-The Children’s Charity of Southern California.

The fragile dress is one of quite a few designed specifically for Keira Knightley and authenticated by Academy Award-nominee for costume design, Jacqueline Durran. I haven’t seen the film yet, but the dress is beautiful enough for me to look into all this fuss and finally check out the movie for myself.
