Washington, (ANI): Mariah Carey is auctioning off a rare designer dress especially created for her to raise money for breast cancer research. The 'Hero" singer is supporting charity Susan G. Komen for the Cure to sell a hot pink, asymmetric fishtail gown on auction website eBay.com.

The couture dress is one of only three in the world and was made by Julian Contreras after Carey asked fans to send in fashion designs inspired by her perfume, 'Luscious Pink". Ever since the gown has been up for sale, fans are clamouring to get hold of it and have already quoted a price of 5,600 dollars, while there are still five days for the bidding to close. The item was listed with a starting price of 500 dollars, reports Contactmusic.
