wardrobe departments on different Hollywood sets, including Friends,

Melrose Place, Beverly Hills 90210, Everybody Loves Raymond, Just Shoot

Me, and The Drew Carey Show, is available at local department and

specialty stores. One reason for its popularity is that despite its

camisole to $250 for dresses. The Bette Paige label is available at

Neiman-Marcus, Bloomingdale’s, Saks Fifth Avenue, Macy’s, Nordstrom and

Champagne in Newport Beach. For the holidays, there’s a new collection

that’s made from the Bette Paige signature blend of rayon, Lycra and

spandex -- a yarn that creates a slightly nubby knit that keeps its

silver-plated mesh, and Swarovski crystals that are used to spell out

millennium jargon/icons such as “2000,” “Y2K,” “Millennium,” and

champagne glasses on tops and skirts.
