Not molly's. It's the modified Robin vest seen in Beyond the Valley of the Dolls. The logo was added by the previous owner.
It is a real Robin vest from the show that was remodeled.
I was helping Stewart when he bought this.

Wow! Was not familiar with that reference. I don’t think I ever saw the movie.

Thanks Chuck,
That's interesting to know. I saw it listed and thought it natural that they would make a vest to accommodate Miss St.John's figure. Guess celebrities will sign anything as both Jill and Burt signed the cape.

On the contrary, Jill did not wear a modified vest.

The vest listed as the "Molly" vest was modified to accentuate the female form.
Beyond the Valley of the Dolls was a Russ Meyer film. Busty girls were the drawing point.

The arm hole of this vest was completely changed by the modification. That change is not seen on Jill.

The cape is either a "replica" or a Western Costume rental. It is not lined like the screen used capes.
The signatures mean little in regards to authentication. :)

Did they modify the Catwoman costume, Chuck? Was it also authentic to the show, as I have since read?

What catwoman costume do you mean? I couldn't say one way or the other about the one worn in Beyond the Valley of the Dolls.
I haven't seen any specific images of it.

There we go! Thanks, Chuck!

Alex and I had just talked about this yesterday. Ignoring the wonky-graffiti-cape, so much about the Vest felt "right", but also different somehow.

Yes, that’s the costume, AP and Chuck. According to IMDb trivia, the costume under that “cape” was an original Catwoman costume from the TV series. It certainly looks like the same material.

Looks an awful lot like a Yvonne-Belt too!
