Rose is first seen donning the light-pink coat, which features black curlicue embroidery on its collar and cuffs, shortly after the boat hits the iceberg. She keeps it on while nearly getting in a lifeboat with her mother and fiancé Cal before deciding instead to flee in search of Jack, who she realizes Cal has arranged to have imprisoned below deck as the ship goes down.

The piece is on offer from PropStore Auction along with nearly 2000 other Hollywood-related items, with bidding commencing in mid-August.
