What's with all the lime green on the show PERIOD!!
It's enough to make you [puke]

And various related shades of that green are always showing up in other time periods i.e., Julia's awful green suit, and that green dress Angelique's always wearing in 1897.  I don't ever remember seeing a nice shade of green on that show -- just ugly ones.

And wasn't those LIME green shoe (ya know, the one Amy's was sporting) were just ugly.  But, here's something.....Maggie was making a note (probably her unmentionable..sp..) for Joe to take to town and get a few things for her, anyway, she had on WHITE shoe.  Maggie, Maggie, you know better than this.  So with Maggie wearing WHITE shoes and Amy sporting them LIME green one, Joe was more then happy to go off to meet my fate just so I wouldn't have to take this ugly shoes and the wrong shoes.

    At the time, I was about Amy's age.  We shopped at Ohrbachs for our Easter dresses.  One year, I bought a bright yellow dress similar to the one Liz wears(paisley with green and purple).  My dress was bright yellow with red and orange.  I was forced to wear unbearable itchy yellow  fishnet leotards(heavier than pantyhose) and bright yellow shoes.  I still have nightmares!

UGH!!  No wonder Quentin doesn't look too happy.
She looks like a bowl of split pea soup.

Actually, the color might not look that bad on someone with dark hair, but with HER skin tone and hair color, it looks horrible IMHO.

The dress would have been fine if it had been one of at least five, but it's yet another outfit that the actress wore for weeks on end (I thought the bib dress was worse).

I didn't really pay attention to the shoes, but I liked the jumper and blouse, Amy had on. It brought back a flashback to those days. I wore those kind of jumpers and blouses at the time too.

I think Angelique only had two dresses for the entire 1897 storyline. Even if you at first did not like the dress on her, you did by the end of 1897...Besides there was too many other things going on to worry about the costumes.

Gee, I LOVED my fishnets! (Mine didn't itch though!) Especially when I finally got my pair of white gogo boots. Of course, they were out of style by the time I finally got them.

I think my Mom liked the fishnets for me as a transition from little girl socks to hose. One thing I did NOT like was the 3" indention from the garter belt thingamabob into my thigh. Ewwww, sitting on hard wood seats in school with those things was murder! I just have never been able to see garter belts as sexy....more like a torture device and I'm SO not into pain!

    You were so lucky to get white go-go boots, kuanyin.  I wanted a pair so much but my mom always said no yet she bought me those hideous yellow mary-janes that I only wore once at Easter.  Thankfully, they were given to the Salvation Army which is probably where Amy's green ones went.

Angelique wore a bronze-y dress with off-white lace and chocolate brown trims for her midnite, er, midnight appearance in 1897.  She looked fabulous in it, but unfortunately doesn't wear it again.

Perish the thought! :D
