WANTED: Red satin bows Alexis gown

Another memorable red gown worn by Joan Collins on "Dynasty". As I said in a previous blog, I love Alexis in red. This gown is not in my top 10, but it is still a great costume I would love to own. I like the twist detail of the fabric at the bosom, the off the shoulder cut, and of course the vibrant color. This was the gown Alexis changed into after she lost tug-of-war with Krystle, at her very own Renaissance themed ball in season 8. The costume Alexis was originally wearing, that ended up in the mud, was that of Queen Elizabeth, red curly wig and all! Joan wore this gown to the Oscars as well.

WANTED: If anyone has this gown, or any information on its whereabouts, please let me know!

MOST WANTED: Gold lame ruffle Alexis gown

This is one of my top five favorite Alexis gowns.  This is the gown Alexis wore to the famous Carousel Ball episode in season 4.  Dynasty filmed the episode at the event which is a charity ball in real life.  Joan's Madame Tussauds wax figure wore this gown at the 1985 unveiling.  I assume Joan donated the gown herself.  A new Joan figure was made a few years later, wearing a different gown.  Joan wore this gown to the Nolan Miller fashion show, a photo shoot for Dynasty, and the Alexis Barbie wears this gown.
