Myself, I've always LOVED a dress of Carolyn's, it's from an episode late in 1968, she and Chris go up to the west wing to look around, I forget what exactly was going on, but it's during Quentin's ghost storyline. I want that dress so bad! It's orange with a high collar and a psychedelic print.

During the same storyline KLS was always wearing locket watches, and I thought those were the coolest thing, so my Mom went out and bought me a watch necklace which I still own and wear. This was 10+ years ago, does it count as retro yet? :D

I remember that beautiful dress, Arashi.  It was the first time Magda was mentioned.  Her spirit spoke through Carolyn at a seance.

They did not dress Grayson Hall very well.    I think there's only one suit i liked her in and it was around the Vicki returns from 1795 story line -- brown with lines -- nice and tailored (where Julia is trying to get her to go to sleep).  other than that, she was awfully dressed.

i don't agree with the whole "julia was badly dressed" thing.

her clothing looks dated to contemporary eyes. and some of it, particularly the green tweed suit, gets overworn. but she was a middle-aged woman doctor. what was she supposed to wear?

actually i think she often looks expensively dressed and chic. well-tailored suits, coats and dresses...and she finished each ensemble with a proper handbag and gloves. what's not to love.
