Title: Lime? The new color of Collinsport?
Post by: Julia99 on June 14, 2002, 02:54:09 AM
Whats with all the chicas wearing lime green dresses and coats these days? It seems odd that both Joan and Lara would have been outfitted in such similar wardrobes. . .

I'm afraid the answer to your question is unbelievable, but true, Julia99.........back in the 60's we actually wore clothes in those hideous, neon, pop-art, posterized, strobe-lit, dope-induced, hallucinated, Peter Max colours.

I swear.....I was there!  :o

Lime was a huge color back in the day!  All the chicks are dressed like they're in Austin Powers In The House Of Dark Shadows!

You know, I've been wondering if they intended some of Cassandra's clothes for Liz or vice verse.  Bennett was wearing that lilac/grey dress the other day that Parker had worn before.

And during the hospital scenes this week, it seems like Victoria's and Maggie's outfits were the same patterns and materials, only inverted...

Yes, I noticed that too. Maybe the producers felt that they could save money this way.   Carolyn also wore lime green a few times as well.  Im suprised they haven't put Vicky in that color too, but her color lately seems to be navy blue.  :)

I remember that in 7th grade I had a neon lime green dress.  I was pretty snazzy in the 7th grade.  Thank you Angelique.

Yes it seems Julia has been wearing her grey pinstrip suit with the coral scarf a lot these days.  ..saving on dry cleaning?  It cracked me up that she had that one when they "originally" found Trask in the basement but on the 2nd day, during the re-enactment. . that whole episode she had on a trench coat??  Did Grayson spill something on the suit?  Was it filmed during a hot NY summer and she didn't want to wear anything under her trench coat?? Who knows. . .but the Wardrobe Mistress shoulda paid a bit more attention to some of these things.. .

I noticed that. That dress Maggie wore I believe is usually worn by Victoria.

Dear Scout75,

That blue dress with the red stripes that Vicky wore to the hospital reminds me of one of the dresses that Dame Diana Rigg wore when she appeared as Mrs. Emma Peel on "The Avengers" with the great Patrick MacNee.

I wonder if Vicky ever wore a "hot-looking" leather outfit like Emma Peel did while kung fu-ing bad guys along with the always sartorially splendid John Steed?

It's very much an Emma Peel dress!

And here I was thinking I was the only one who liked Mrs. Peel's "catsuits".  ;D

LMAO!

I love the lime green color! I think it's soooo kewl!! It's so bright and cheery and would cut down the need for light bulbs a whole bunch.....maybe that's why they wore so much of it -- candles don't give off nearly as much light as lamps do, and we all know *someone* had stock in the candle company.... [silly] I wish lime green were in style today.....actually, I'm wearing lime green today! [angl2] yaay!!! to hell with conformity! [emblgh]

I brought my mother shopping today and she bought a pair of lime green pants.  She loves the color. It horrifies my brother but hey let her wear what she wants.

It seems like lime green, bright orange, lemon yellow are the colors today. Fashion often repeats itself.

Yeah, just today, my mom and I were out shopping and I was trying on peasant shirts. My mom just kept talking about how she used to wear them all the time and couldn't believe they were back in fashion.

-Lindsey, who doesn't own any crazy colors, she sticks with her absolute favorite-sky blue! (I am obsessed with clothes that color) 8)
