GUEST: I, uh, acquired this from a client of mine.# I'm a hairdresser, and I was working with Brooke## Shields in New York on the Broadway production of# Grease.

At the end of her run of that show, she,## uh, surprised me by coming in the dressing room,# and she pulled this gown out and told me that if## I could fit into it and wear it before she left# the show, I could have it.

So her last night of## the show, at curtain call, I got dressed# up, and much to her surprise, gave her a## beautiful bouquet of white flowers, all# dressed up in her dress.

And she was kind## enough to autograph it for me.

And a few weeks# later, I met Bob Mackey at another benefit,## and he autographed the dress for me as well,# uh, after noticing that I had altered the belt## that he had with it, and turned it into evening# gloves for the gown, uh, which he kind of liked,## I think, at the moment.

(chuckles) Uh, and# he also offered to send me a copy of the,## uh, sketch that he had done for the gown# originally.

This is a picture of myself## and Brooke the night that I gave her the flowers# and, uh, said goodbye to her on Broadway.

APPRAISER: It's amazing.

What was it like# working with Brooke Shields?

And, and— GUEST: She is absolutely one of# the most charming, professional,## giving people I've ever worked with.

She-she's# very down to earth, but also, at the same time,## every day was trying to make one bit of# phrasing on her music better, making a## line reading better.

She was always working to# improve and make herself better in the world.

APPRAISER: Well, we all know who Bob Mackie# is.

He's kind of a legend in the business,## isn't he?

He did The Carol Burnett Show.

GUEST: For years.

APPRAISER: Cher was one of his# biggest custom.. amazing, sexy dresses that he created for Cher.

GUEST: And Mitzi Gaynor.

APPRAISER: Mitzi Gaynor, yes.

GUEST: And, more recently, RuPaul.

APPRAISER: Yes, and Dolly Parton said Bob# Mackie made her look beautiful and feel## like a lady because he was so incredible.

What# was it that they called him?

The glitter...?

GUEST: The Sultan of Sequins.

APPRAISER: (chuckles) That's right, the Sulta.. look how long he makes Brooke Shields look.

And,# of course, Brooke Shields is tall in herself.

GUEST: Uh-huh.

And she was only, I think,## 16 or 17 when this gown was made# for her.

She w.. APPRAISER: This dress actually was made for Brooke# Shields in the 1980s.

You have this amazing dress## that has not only Bob Mackie's label in it, but# also his signature.

Also got Brooke's signature.

GUEST: Yes.

APPRAISER: And it's in a..

GUEST: Well, she did it right# after this picture was taken,## and yeah, with an ink pen that she had.# And it's right in the, the... the bosom.

APPRAISER: Right here.

Right in the bosom, that's# right.

"Brooke Shields."

It's a little faded from— GUEST: It-- the ink pen, unfortunately,# hasn't held up as good as the Sharpie did.

APPRAISER: Well, just being a Bob Mackie gown,## a gown like this sells on the# secondary market for $1,000 to $1,500.

GUEST: Wow.

APPRAISER: But there's a big difference in# th.. you have the signature of Bob Mackie, and# you have this wonderful illustration all## put together that creates a wonderful part# of fashion history.

And so, at auction,## I would believe that this would# probably bring $7,500.

(both laugh) GUEST: That's pretty amazing, thank you.

APPRAISER: So isn't that a great gift?

GUEST: That's the best gift# ever.

Uh, thanks, Brooke.

APPRAISER (laughing): Yeah.
