A group of two spandex, stretch lace embellished catsuits designed by Fleur Thiemeyer, one black and one ivory. The black lace spandex catsuit is semi-sheer with a beige-tone mesh plunging v-neckline, fully embellished with sequins, rhinestones, and beaded fringe, with no label or size tag present. The ivory-colored catsuit is stretch lace with an off-the-shoulder neckline with seed faux pearl beads and textured lace, accessorized with a low-rise lace belt with faux pearls, and accompanied with an ivory embellished lace swatch, no label or size tag present.

The black lace jumpsuit is missing a panel that was attached at the front neckline, the backs of the blind snaps are still sewn at the shoulders.

These catsuits were made for Welch's Atlantic City show at Sands Hotel & Casino where she performed in July 1985 and January 1986, the lot is accompanied by two laminated backstage passes of photos of Raquel wearing the black lace catsuit. A link to the image of Welch in the black lace catsuit is available upon request.

This lot comes with two copies of Thiemeyer's costume illustration.
