MOST WANTED: Black Krystle gown and evening jacket with jewel-tone embroidery

Krystle wore this gown and evening jacket to the only Carrington Christmas party in 9 years of "Dynasty."  The gown and jacket are made of (what I believe to be) black velvet with various jewel-tone embroidery and rhinestones in a leaf and vine pattern.  The gown has spaghetti straps.  The embroidery on this gown is gorgeous and very intricate.  I would also love to acquire this ensemble because I own the red beaded gown Alexis wore to the same party-- she wasn't invited of course, she crashed it!  It would be great to have both Krystle's & Alexis' gowns from that scene.

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

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.

WANTED: Purple metallic sequin Alexis gown

This gown is another that is 80's style to the max with multi-colored metallic fabric in hues of purple, black, silver, and green, covered in sequins, with large puff shoulders.  The pattern of the fabric has a marbled look.  This design was originally cut above the knee with a high center slit, which is how it was worn by Joan Collins when it appeared on "Dynasty".  At some point this outfit was later turned into a full length gown.  I think the full length version has a more dramatic, elegant, and formal appeal, where as the shorter version loses points for lacking all of these qualities and, dare I say, looking a bit cheap!  Not something I would expect a wealthy, sophisticated, middle-aged woman like Alexis to wear-- no matter how great she looks in it!

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

My Collection: Black beaded paisley Alexis gown

This gown was worn by Joan Collins as Alexis Carrington Colby on "Dynasty", to the 1986 Golden Globe Awards, in a photo shoot, on the cover of People magazine, and to other awards functions.

Joan wore this gown in episode 140 of season 6 "The Trial (Part II)".

Alexis wears this gown in a scene at her penthouse apartment with Blake's brother Ben.  Alexis and Ben are sharing a celebratory evening after successfully incriminating Blake for the death of his and Ben's mother.

The body of the gown is black fabric sewn with black bugle beads in a zig-zag pattern.  The sleeves and back of the gown are sheer flesh colored fabric sewn with beads and rhinestones of different shapes, sizes, and colors in a paisley design.  The paisley design incorporates leaves, flowers, paisley configurations, and other patterns.  The sweetheart neckline has cut outs on either side of the décolletage, while the bust area is lined with three rows of black bugle beads, which trace a line around the back of the gown separating the black and sheer fabric.  The paisley pattern is made up of black bugle beads, silver metallic bugle beads, black rhinestones in three different sizes, diamond rhinestones in three different sizes, black round seed beads, metallic silver round seed beads, black square seed beads, and silver metallic square seed beads.  In total this gown is comprised of ten different types of beads and has the most intricate beadwork of any gown on the show.  The gown features a high center slit and shoulder pads.

More beading and the cut outs on either side of the décolletage were added to the gown between the time it was worn for the People magazine cover and when it appeared on Dynasty.
