WANTED: Purple Sable hostess gown

This purple satin hostess gown was worn by Stephanie Beacham on "The Colbys" and to several events, including Nolan Miller's 1988 fashion show.  The outfit is comprised of a belted long purple satin bustier gown that is completely open at the front, revealing matching purple leggings.  I think this outfit is a bit more elegant as a standard gown, but the addition of the open front and leggings of a hostess gown gives it an interesting and dramatic touch.  When Sable moves from scene to scene the gown flutters and flows behind her.

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

WANTED: Blue beaded Sable dress suit

This is a stunning costume with an equally beautiful sketch.  The suit is covered in bugle beads, accentuated with large iridescent square beads, and comes with a matching veiled hat and dyed blue fur muff.  I love the dramatic and old Hollywood feel of this costume.  It was originally designed for Joan Collins to wear on "Dynasty", but for whatever reason ended up being worn by Stephanie Beacham on "The Colbys".  It is a shame that this piece was not worn on the more prominent show and by the more prominent actress as it was intended.  Based on the actual design, this costume ranks very highly on my list of most beautiful costumes by Nolan, but because it was not worn on Dynasty by Joan it is not higher on my list of pieces I hope to acquire.

WANTED: Black beaded Krystle gown

This is probably one of my top 10 Krystle gowns. This black beaded gown was worn by Linda for season 9 promotional photos for Dynasty. The gown was never worn on the show. Linda also wore this gown to events. Stephanie Beacham wore this gown in a magazine pictorial featuring her as different famous Hollywood actresses, while wearing different Nolan Miller gowns. While wearing this gown, Stephanie was supposed to be portraying Sophie Loren. I think this gown looks much better the way Stephanie wore it, with a push up bra. It looks a bit matronly on Linda, who isn't showing much cleavage.

WANTED: White beaded two piece Alexis gown

This is the iconic gown that Alexis wore in the season 6 finale. After taking over Carrington mansion under Blake's nose, Alexis ends up getting strangled by Blake on the staircase, culminating in another dramatic cliffhanger! Season 7 begins with Alexis in this gown, escaping death thanks to Krystle intervening.  On Dynasty, Joan wore the top half of this ensemble, but wore a non-beaded skirt instead of the matching full length beaded skirt. Ann Margret wore the full set to an event and Stephanie Beacham also wore the full set in a magazine pictorial featuring her portraying different famous stars. Stephanie was supposed to be portraying Elizabeth Taylor while wearing this gown.
