The zipper at center back is finished with a hook & eye. The skirt is also fully lined in charmeuse.<BR><BR>This suite is characteristic of the tailored, classic aesthetic that Nolan created for Linda Evans as "Krystle" on <I>Dynasty.</B></I> In his desire to capitalize on her broad shoulders and small hips, he dressed her in triangular compositions with exaggerated shoulder pads, coming down to very narrow pants or skirt. This "look" certainly caught the attention of the viewing public, with Nolan becoming famous for Linda's blouses. In fact her shoulders became wider as the seasons progressed, and by the end of the series Linda's shoulders were wider than John Forsythe's, who played her husband, "Blake Carrington." This suite is in Very Fine condition with some beads ajar; the episode is unknown, but Linda Evans wore this in personal appearances. <I>From the Nolan Miller Collection.</B></I><B>Condition Report:</B> Normal signs of wear as appropriate with age.
