A group of four Donna Karan bias cut gowns, two cherry red, one aubergine, and one black. The two red evening gowns feature asymmetric draping and ruching, one is long-sleeve with a v-neckline and ruched bodice, and the second is sleeveless with asymmetric seams that gather and drape with a streamlined silhouette (photo worn). The aubergine is a cotton jersey with an asymmetric neckline and draped bodice with a streamlined skirt. The black is a silk crepe with a v-neckline a drop waist with a draped accent at the hip (comes with an elasticated cinched belt).

Welch wore the purple gown to the 32nd Annual Carousel Of Hope Ball at The Beverly Hilton Hotel on October 23, 2010, in Beverly Hills, and she wore a long-sleeve ruched v-neckline red Donna Karan to the Carousel of Hope Ball at The Beverly Hilton Hotel on October 8, 2016, in Beverly Hills. A link to a photograph is available upon request.
