MOST WANTED: Dynasty Sketches

I am searching for original Nolan Miller sketches. I am interested in all of Nolan's colored sketches but in particular the sketches made for Dynasty, especially for Linda, Joan, and Diahann (and even more so their formal gowns), and also the formal gowns made for Elizabeth Taylor. But any of the large colored sketches by Nolan interest me (such as the ones posted below).

WANTED: If anyone has any information on the whereabouts of original Nolan Miller sketches, please let me know!

MOST WANTED: Red beaded with rhinestone trim Elizabeth Taylor gown

Nolan made this gown for Elizabeth Taylor's appearance on the television show "Hotel."  This design is very similar to a black beaded gown Joan Collins wore on "Dynasty" around the same time period.  Elizabeth's gown came with a matching red beaded wrap trimmed in brown mink.  It is a gorgeous gown, but this is not one of my top favorites of Nolan's creations for her.  I also don't think this bright red color suits Elizabeth's complexion as well as some of the other colors she wore.  I think this gown looks like something more for Joan on "Dynasty." Regardless, I still think it is a great and desirable piece.

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