Everybody in Parallel Time.

ProfStokes

1. Maggie's patchwork skirt
2. Bruno's Guys and Dolls wardrobe (oh, hell, I agree with ProfStokes, make that the entire cast of PT)
3. Angelique's (1968 ) white dress
4. Almost anything Julia ever wore
5. Vicki's red tent dress

Cassandra's butterfly dress.

Nicky (sorry Gothy baby!)

Poor Julia - she's my #1 choice for worst dressed.  Starting with that awful green suit.  Also, who was responsible for her 1795 outfits?  She had the absolutely worst designed dresses - she never wore anything flattering.  But I still adored her.

I always say that Grayson gets the worst - in any time period.  Along with some of the things that shadows1 mentioned, I've been particularly thinking of 1840 PT Julia Colllins.  Once again, Joan as Flora had nice things and Julia was stuck with the lousy ones!!

I would have to say Grayson as well.  It didn't matter what time period it was, poor Julia always got the worst of the bunch.    Even with the more flattering outfits, such as the 1795 period, she still had the worst of them all. Last week she wore a dress with a large cape, between that & the beauty mark, she reminded me of the queen of hearts. I always liked her though and felt she could have looked as flattering as any of the other actresses, had she been able to wear the right outfits.

My thoughts exactly, Cassandra.  Even before Grayson would make her entrance in a new storyline, I would notice how attractively dressed Joan Bennett, Lara Parker, or TLATKLS usually were and anticipate -- with sadness -- the shabby number poor Grayson would be stuck with.     She deserved better!

I'd like to give special mention to those black, low-heeled, no-nonsense t-strap shoes Mrs. Johnson waddled around in ... I remember many a nun in grade school wearing those clunkers!

So do I!

My vote is for Grayson's charactors as well.  I have a feeling the wardrobe woman/man didn't like her.  They picked the worst costumes and the least flattering for her.  Only dress I can think of that really looked good on her was a blue dress and she only got to wear it mayble once.  

Birdie

I will vote for Buzz Hackett's biker look, Carrie Stokes wore a hat that looked like a lampshade, and Maggie evans wore a brown, checkered dress that looked like a maternity dress.

The blue dress was very good. . i also fondly remember a 1971 outfit where Grayson seemed to toss off half of it (the suit jacket). .she jaunted into the scene with a sweater, a wildly colorful scarf, and some sorta hipbelt . . I thought Whala!  Who picked that out!  That's fab!  I also liked her 1840 clothes. . .Maybe that's why she had it in her OLTL contract that she helped pick the clothes. . .and would not wear tweed. .ha!
