Where are the costumes?
« on: March 06, 2007, 05:18:08 AM »
Does anyone know what happened to the costumes used on the show after it's production was over? Were they recycled back into the ABC wardrobe department, end up sitting in some warehouse somewhere, or did some other fate befall them? I'm sure if they still existed they'd be auctioned off at the Fests for beaucoup dollars, or perhaps they were in the past.

LOL!  Couldn't you just see someone dressed up in Josette's costume, when she first walked into the Old House in 1795, out on Times Square, competing for attention with the underwear-guitar-cowboy guy?

what i'd like to know is why some of the "present day" costumes got lots of use while others only got one or two airings.

for example in 1967 julia gets this really lush salt-and-pepper tweed number.it was yummy.yet i recall only seeing it once.contrast this to that lime-green get up she wears for her entire run as dr.hoffman.similarly i remember towards the end of her days on the show vicki got a lovely emerald-green sleeveless with pockets and big brass buttons.again,one use. ???

then out of the clear blue sky sometimes they'd come up with something totally new.both carolyn and maggie got several new ensembles in the 1970 episodes...some of them featuring the then scandalous maxi-skirts!

those maxi skirts i made one in sewing in junior high  8)
rachel drummond seemed to wear the same dress the whole time she was on while Laura changed sometimes twice a night
maybe it was done to say one was poor while the other rich??
