Julia's legendary green suit is on the scene .. worn today, tomorrow and tomorrow and next week and next month . . ..that suit sees a lotta road and many days. .
LOL, Julia99! I vaguely recall a scene in a much earlier storyline -- I think it was when Barnabas will still terrorizing Julia -- where someone (Barnabas?) broke into her room at Collinwood and opened her armoire. It was at that point that we got a peek at her pitifully meager wardrobe. I somehow recall seeing multiple copies of the same suit hanging on a little rack. As for the multiple copies, maybe my imagination was having a little too much fun -- but we are definitely led to believe that Julia's wardrobe was spartan. Does anyone else have a better memory?
Of course, at that time, she was still posing as historian "Miss" Hoffman, so maybe she was dressing modestly to avoid arousing suspicion. But even after she became established as "Dr." Hoffman, her wardrobe remained rather limited, and not at the fashion forefront. I always felt sorry for her whenever I'd see her next to the effortlessly elegant Liz Stoddard.
I can almost hear some of the production meetings: "Joan, here are some new outfits and a new hairstyle for the upcoming storyline -- don't you just love them? Oh, and Grayson, be sure to get your green suit drycleaned!"
But then came the ultimate indignity: PT, where Julia was stripped of both her "Dr." and "Miss" titles, became simply "Hoffman," and was sentenced to wearing the same housekeeper's uniform with the mousey collar for every single episode.
