Some comments are made, an eyebrow is occasionally raised, but one would think that the 1795 crowd would be more vocal about what Vicki was wearing. For cryin' out loud, you could see her...her...legs! The trollop! Nathan Forbes and Barnabas Collins, being gentlemen, should've shielded their eyes; Naomi Collins should've swooned and fainted with great physical passementerie. Sarah Collins should've asked why she was walking around in such strange undergarments. But all gave very little notice to any of it.
In the '91 remake, Dan Curtis had Victoria Winters II wearing what was called a "Maxi" in the late 60s/early 70s, so she didn't appear so stylishly wanton (but still risque enough for them to whisper).
Vicki thinks she's actually dreaming. Maybe she is. You know, the kind we all have, when we find ourselves in a packed supermarket wearing nothing but our unmentionables.
