"Highlights include outstanding couture dresses from the Sixties, screen-worn costumes, designer fashions and accessories, jewellery, career memorabilia, decorative art, furniture and personal items," the auction house conducting the sale, Julien's, explained.
"These highlights include two vintage Louis Vuitton steamer trunks, a 1961 beaded event-worn couture dress, a couture halter dress worn to the Doctor Doolittle premiere, costumes from Dynasty including event-worn gowns designed by Nolan Miller, a custom-made white fox and mink cape designed by furrier Edward Lowell, a collection of costume jewellery dating from the 1960's to present and a gold perfume bottle gifted to Collins by Natalie Wood and Robert Wagner."
"Julien's Auctions did have an internal discussion about this, but at that point the announcement was already in play having been confirmed a week earlier for news," Julien's spokeswoman Caroline Galloway said in a statement, Page Six reports. "As you may well imagine Joan is in mourning over her dear sister and we chose not to intrude on her privacy."
Collins's younger sister Jackie, who passed away on Saturday after a six year battle with breast cancer, began a career in film alongside Joan, but soon left acting behind for a career as a best-selling novelist.
"Desperately sad today," Joan said on Sunday. "I know Jackie would want me to be strong but it's hard to lose somebody so wonderful, so incredible and loving. Wherever you are, my darling sister, you deserve a red carpet and a throne."
The auction will be held in Beverly Hills on December 16th, but the house will be accepting bids online and by phone.
