WANTED: Black sequin floral lace Krystle gown

The original design of this gown is one of my top favorite Krystle gowns from "Dynasty".  Unfortunately it has been altered almost to the point of not being recognizable.  Because of this, it is no longer on my "Most Wanted" list.  The black floral lace exterior, trimmed in black reflective sequins, remains intact.  However, the original red satin slip has been removed and replaced by a nude satin slip, and the red satin sash has been discarded.  The gown in its altered form is very beautiful, and is actually more elegant and classic with the neutral nude colored slip.  However, now it is no longer a screen worn "Dynasty" costume and thus is less desirable of a piece.

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

MOST WANTED: Beige tweed Krystle suit with fox tail wrap

This beige tweed suit is very simple and understated, but is given a big splash of over the top glamour with a lush and bountiful cluster of fox tails.  Something about the simplicity and clean lines of the suit combined with the dramatic fur wrap makes this a costume I really love.  In terms of the suits and non-evening wear, this ensemble ranks as one of my top favorites.  Beige and taupe look wonderful on Linda, and this suit is no exception. This ensemble is my top favorite non-gown costume of Krystle's from "Dynasty."  Krystle wears this to the reading of Cecil Colby's will, which leads to some great dialogue between her and Alexis (who was wearing widow's black of course.)  Based on a side drawing in the sketch, the display mannequin, and the model from the fashion show, I believe this outfit was originally designed to be worn with a white wide brimmed hat.  However Linda did not wear a hat with this outfit on Dynasty.

WANTED: Silver satin fur trimmed Krystle suit

This silver satin suit was worn in the "Dynasty" season 7 cliffhanger and beginning of season 8.  The end of season 7 marked the decline of the series, and that was greatly reflected on the costumes as well.  Season 8 is generally ruled as the worst season of Dynasty-- and the costumes match.  This suit is not the most memorable when compared to the other costumes and suits worn on the show, but it has some nice elements to it- including the silver satin material, the mink fur trim at the bottom of the jacket, and the oriental style jacket closure.  The fur trim at the bottom of the jacket is a unique and unusual touch.

WANTED: Teal beaded Krystle gown

This is another beautiful gown that was made for Linda to wear on Dynasty that never appeared on the show.  Linda wore this to present at the 1982 Emmy Awards and shot footage while wearing this gown going down the mansion staircase, possibly for a new title sequence that was never used. (Linda had the same title sequence all 9 seasons of Dynasty.)  Tracy Scroggins ended up wearing this gown on The Colbys and also for promotional photos for the show.  This color looks beautiful on Linda, as all blue tones look wonderful set against Linda's blue eyes.  The heavy feather-like beading patterns in shades of teal make this gown stand out as one of the most beautiful that Linda wore.  This gown would be higher on my list if it would have been worn on the show.

WANTED: Blue silk Krystle gown

This blue silk gown is from the very memorable lily pond catfight scene between Krystle and Alexis.  The silk material, shape, and proportions of this gown resemble a dressing gown more so than a formal gown.  The vibrant blue color looks beautiful on Linda, and her curves fill out this piece nicely, but other than that this costume is not very memorable.  It's only real allure is for being in such a famous scene from the show.  There were at least two copies of this gown made- one for Linda and one for her stunt double.
