A white cotton cloque jacket with pleated shoulders and rhinestone buttons together with matching flared skirt with crinoline underskirt, label reading "Jean Patou. " The jacket was worn by Midler as she portrayed C.C. Bloom in the 1988, All Girl Productions film, Beaches . Midler also wore the jacket and skirt as she attended a masquerade gala held by the Design Alliance to Combat AIDS on October 22, 1988 at the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood, California. "I bought this from the last collection of Christian Lacroix when he was designing for Patou. It's so 80s!! When we made Beaches, we used a number of things from my own closet, and a couple of Cher's old things, from the resale shop A Star Is Worn. Recycle, reuse, repurpose!!" - Bette " "Lacroix, baby, Lacroix." - Bette Categories: Bette Midler
