The dress, a lovely evening gown in soft pink with a floral pattern, was worn by the future Queen of England before being gifted to Miss Kathleen Ward, who worked at Clarence House - Queen Elizabeth ancestral home's - for seven years.
It is now expected to sell for between £1,000 and £1,500 ($1,700-2,551) as one of the lead lots of the auction.
More highlights include copies of My Early Life and Marlborough, His Life and Times by Sir Winston Churchill, each also estimated at £1,000-1,500.
Paul Fraser Collectibles has a wonderful selection of royal memorabilia for sale, as well as signed items from Sir Winston Churchill.
