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.

MOST WANTED: Black and white lace Krystle gown
This gown is one of my top 10 favorite Krystle gowns. It is a classic design and very flattering on Linda. This gown could still be worn today. I think the monochromatic white lace top with the half black skirt is timeless and very chic. Krystle wore this to the "Black & White Ball", which was thrown by Alexis at the Carrington mansion, after she took over and kicked Blake and Krystle out of the estate. This gown also was made with a matching cape.

WANTED: Nude beaded rhinestone Krystle gown
This is one of my top ten favorite Krystle gowns from Dynasty. Linda wore this to the People's Choice Awards in 1985 where she won "Favorite Actress" and Dynasty won "Favorite Show." The nude color palette looks great on Linda, while the crystal embellishments add 1980's over the top glamour. I actually prefer this gown without the huge shoulder pads and crystals, but that is what makes it a very "Dynasty" look. This gown was later altered, by adding fabric to the neckline, transforming the gown from a V-neck décolletage to a high neckline. Per usual I definitely prefer the gown in it's pre-altered form. I think all of these gowns that were altered were much more beautiful in their original state. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!"

My collection: Sketch of red chiffon Krystle gown
This is the Nolan Miller sketch for the red matte chiffon gown worn by Linda Evans. This gown was made for Linda's role as Krystle, and the design was also used for the McCall's "Dynasty Collection" dress pattern kits. Linda did not ever wore this design on the show, but she did wear the gown for the photo shoot for McCall's as well as to a personal event. This sketch is done on large sketch board. The back of the sketch has hand written notes stating "# 12 - Linda Evans - Krystle - Dynasty". This leads me to believe that this design was made for Linda to wear on the show and perhaps the scene got cut or a different gown was used instead.
If anyone has any information on where Linda wore this design, or the location of the actual gown, please let me know!

WANTED: Sky blue beaded paisley Krystle dress suit
This beautiful suit is comprised of a jacket patterned with a beaded paisley design with beaded horizontal stripes in the background, and a matching long skirt with the same beaded stripes. Linda wore this for a photo shoot that was used for several Dynasty ads and promos. Krystle, or really Rita in disguise as Krystle, wore this suit to a party when the Colby family of California came to visit Denver. I generally gravitate more towards the gowns versus suits and daywear, but as this is very formal and intricate, and basically a gown, I really like it a lot. I also think the sky blue color is amazing on Linda.
