What’s your “wife” guess… (generally) Lili’s stomping grounds, and 1994 was the year of her passing…?
Curiously there are several Lili Damita Estate items for sale on ebay currently, though the photo info cites 1994 as its time stamp.
(Patrice could have pulled off the wearing of this one too… in her Vegas act, though not her style for civilian wear.)

Good pick-up on that date, Karl. I missed that completely.
It sure looks Lillian to me. The Florida connection makes that more likely, too, I think. She lived in Palm Beach (her back yard only a few feet from Mar-a-Lago) and she she died at Good Samaritan Hospital across Lake Worth, in West Palm Beach. So, maybe some of her personal treasures slipped out into Florida somewhere along the way..
Quoting the Palm Beach Post:
“Shortly after her death, the memorabilia Lili Damita had collected and maintained from her film career showed up for sale at a store in Disney World.”
