My Collection: Red Krystle cocktail dress with black lace sequin appliques

This cocktail dress was worn by Linda Evans as Krystle Carrington on "Dynasty."

Linda wore this dress in episode 206 "The Wedding."

Krystle wears this dress in a scene with Blake in their master bedroom where she tells Blake the only way she will agree to renew their marriage vows is if he will agree to sign divorce papers.  Krystle's reason for this is because she is about to leave for an operation on a possibly fatal brain tumor that she has and wants Blake to be free to remarry if she does not survive the operation.  The second scene involves Krystle introducing Sable to the rest of the family for a formal dinner at the mansion.  This storyline was devised because Linda was ready to leave the show.  This season 9 storyline was grooming the way for Sable to possibly become a new romance for Blake in season 10, which never happened because the show was canceled.

This cocktail dress is off the shoulder, long sleeved, and has a knee-length, ruffled, full skirt.  The dress is made of a finely ribbed red fabric and has six buttons at each wrist also in this red fabric.  The neckline, front of the bodice, outside of each sleeve, and each pleat of the skirt are adorned with floral black lace appliques bordered in black sequins.  The edges of the lace at the neckline and the skirt extend slightly over the red fabric of the dress.  The inside of the dress has a built in corset.
