Mitch Winehouse, father of the late singer Amy Winehouse, has revealed that two dresses belonging to the singer have been stolen from her home in Camden, North London.
Winehouse, 60, told The Sun : "It's sickening that someone would steal something in the knowledge of its sentimental value."

A cocktail-style, newspaper-print dress by Moschino and the anchor-print minidress she wore to marry ex-husband Blake Fielder-Civil in 2006 have been lifted from the house. The items were due to be auctioned next month in New York in aid of the Amy Winehouse Foundation. The wedding dress was expected to raise £100,000 and the Moschino gown, which she wore to perform on Jools Holland's TV show, was estimated to fetch £30,000.
The drug and alcohol-addled singer died in July 2011 aged 27 and her house has since been turned into something of a shrine by fans but is in the process of being sold.

"Her wedding dress was only a little cotton thing, a hundred quid at best in the shops. Whoever nicked it realised its significance and knew it had an extra value," said Mitch. "We are all baffled as to why some of her designer dresses didn't go too. There were a couple from Dolce & Gabbana worth a fortune."
Winehouse explained that many of his daughter's possessions are currently being tagged, numbered and logged in preparation of storage, and that the theft could have occurred during a "window of about two days while that process was underway". He added: "We're going through everything else to see what else, if anything, has been lifted."
