(CNN) - The dramatic periwinkle dress worn by Lady Gaga at this year's Golden Globes is being auctioned off by a housekeeper who found it in the star's hotel room the day after the awards.
It then spent months in lost and found, before being given to the employee who discovered it, according to the auction house behind the sale.
In the letter, the hotel employee said she "turned in the dress to lost and found" the day after the ceremony.
The letter claims that the gown was held there until September, after which the housekeeper said the hotel "gave it to me as a gift."
The sale runs until Thursday, and online bids opened at $8,000, though the auction house expects it to make significantly more.
