Custom-made blouse worn by Patti LaBelle. The blouse is made of a shiny gold, bronze, and black plaid lamé fabric. It has a v-neck with black lace trim around the collar that has been re-embroidered in an abstract pattern. Down the front center is a black zipper, starting at the neck under the lace collar. The exaggerated sleeves end in flared cuffs with a layer of black lace underneath. The back of the blouse is slightly longer than the front.
