# 7263 - c. 1980's NOLAN MILLER COUTURE Dress of Hot Pink and Black Carwash Skirt Worn by Joan Collins on DYNASTY!  Yeah, I know...  LINDA EVANS!!  However, this was sold from the Star Wares shop as Joan Collins.  Who knows where the mix-up took place, but anyway...  The buyer knew what they bought, and informed me that it WAS indeed from Dynasty, however from the 1991 Dynasty miniseries that followed the end of the series to tie up loose ends of the plot...AND that it was worn by Linda in the final cat fight!  Cool!!  And not worn with the belt (I still think it's better with a belt, but I guess Nolan Miller knows better than me.  :)   It came to me from the old StarWares shop.  For those of you who don't know about Star Wares Collectibles, they consigned many celebrities items.   In an LA Times article written in 1992: "When Cher cleans out her closets, she calls Star Wares and we pick the items up directly from her home in Malibu.  Star Wares owner Marcia Tysseling, who opened the shop, said her career in star clothing began when she worked for "Ms. Clothing" herself, Joan Rivers.  Rivers, who warned that there are plenty of fakes in the celeb wear business, said Tysseling's shop carries only the genuine article. 'If she said this or that belonged to a certain star, then by God it belonged to them,' said Rivers.  And certainly the fact that Nolan Miller was the designer on that show, it's just another proof for you.  Now... PLEASE NOTE, the black belt doesn't come with the dress.. I just added it as I assume that was how it was worn.   In addition, the entire "skirt" is really just strips of black wool gabardine (? - I'm not a fabric expert), so either Joan showed a lot of leg, or perhaps a black slip was worn under.   Wide shoulder pads ... exactly what you need from a Dynasty piece!  Love the cuffed sleeves and neckline trimmed in black.  Buttons up the back with black buttons.  Excellent condition.  Measures:  up to 40" bust, up to 33" waist, up to 38" hips, 35" long from shoulder to hem.    Final Sale Movie/Memorabilia piece.
