evening wear in collinsport

tonight i watched an episode that featured some lengthy scenes between angelique(as 1968 vampiress)and eve(as whatever).

for those who remember they were both rather elaborately decked-out.
why the show's costuming decided that diaphinous chiffon evening gowns were the garment of choice for lady vampires and artificially created women is anyone's guess.but something about eve's black chiffon number seemed familiar to me.

i could almost swear it was elizabeth's episode one gown slightly modified.since liz never wore these remarkably swanky rags again after the first few episodes i wonder if dan curtis thought he could pinch a few pennys and recycle them as the wardrobe for an artificially created monster and thought no one would notice?

I think they were rather creative in costuming in order to save pennies or time.  I remember the scene in PT1970 where Angelique was wearing a lush evening gown, and in the next scene she had to appear that she just stepped out of bed.  They simply slapped a Sears off-the-wrack housecoat over the fancy fixin's and - voila! - Angelique changed from the evening's glamor girl to rubbing the sleep out of her eyes.

And under similar circumstances, who can forget this infamous blooper from Episode #1042?

And what was the cameraman drinking that day that he couldn't see it? ...

It was the 60's.....he was probably smoking it, not drinking it....

And the fault for that blooper was not the cameraman's ....it was the technical director's responsibility to make sure the shot was correct before the director called for it.

Maybe both the cameraman and the technical director were smoking something that day.

Am I missing something?  I don't see any indication of which blooper you're referring to.

Joan Bennett was short. Very short compared to Marie Wallace. So my educated guess would be no, the dresses weren't the same.

in re-watching these episodes i noticed that eve's dress had some buttons running down the front that liz's didn't too.
different dress.
