Brock Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Great eye! Who wore it better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvsbway Posted August 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Lucie tied the belt better. It hung down to far. I'll give it to Lucy as the shorter hair let it show off more ruffles at the neck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryCarter Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Lucy also wore this on Danny Thomas' The Practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvsbway Posted August 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 So I wonder who's it really was to start with as we have a 6 year span from Lucie to Lucy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mmadluv7 Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 This fascinates me Luvsbway. Here she is, at the most successful point in her career, she can wear anything she wants once and explore new fashions, new looks, and yet, here she is holding on to a blouse used on the show from years back? OR if it belonged to some one in the family- who thought it was a good idea to add this to the wardrobe for the show? I guess it's true, Lucy was very practical. I often think about this when seeing her in the 80s- She's a millionaire and you literally see her in the same gowns and dresses at a lot of events- I guess she loved getting "her monies worth" out of something.

Luvsbway Posted August 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 And she wore many things Eloise designed for her for the show off screen too. She had the money to have anything but she gave that wardrobe duble duty. Same with Stevenson's stuff in the 60s/70s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucyEths Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 Very true. She wore things over and over again until they literally fell apart, however she took really good care of her clothing. This is why they look as good today as they did when she originally wore them. Only thing I can't understand is what happened to the dresses from the 50's. I know she gave some away but I'm surprised she didn't keep any of them or the fact that they have not surfaced after all these years. How amazing would it be to see the LA At Last number, or the Vita dress or that gorgeous high collar one with the floral design on the bodice! I think it was also a good "business strategy." By that I mean the public saw her the same way on an off screen. It wasn't like she portrayed a doting house wife or Plain Jane on TV then in public she became a Hollywood heiress who walked on rose petals. To most people she was one in the same because she stayed true to herself and kept that appearance. In addition, keeping her real first name as her character name in each series was extremely smart. I think this helped people identify and in some ways brand her with just those four letters. There's a reason why you say 'Lucy' to someone and nine times out of ten they'll think of the redhead.

Irene Kampen Tripp Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 I wonder if her peers wore their wardrobe OFTEN in public?? I wonder if Orry Kelly made some double duty Bette Davis gowns?? I'm sure Joan Crawford rarely double dutied HER wardrobe (which is why Christina inherited ZILCH LOL.. ) Barbara Stanwyk? Liz Taylor? Some may have reused certain outfits.. I mean why throw money away on clothes which is why I always look like I slept under a bridge lol. And.. how many fancy schmanzy gowns do you need? Lucy probably figured.. "Hell since it's me they will probably be giving me awards till I kick so I'm not gonna throw my hard earned cash on a stupid dress.. I have to give Gary some car or golf money". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 Apropos of nothing, while watching Lucy, The Undercover Agent this evening I couldn't help but think how fantastic Lucy looked in the grey and red suit she was rocking in the opening scene. She looked amazing. It's a shame she didn't try out that shade of red more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 Lucy, Ethel & Joan Buy the Same Dress would have been a great LDCH. Wonder if Crawford bought hers at Macy's or Gimbel's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still irks me that they made this WUNDAFUL costume GREEN on the cover of the DVD box of "The Lucy Show: The Complete Series" which, of course, is otherwise highly recommended!! What were the nitwits thinking?? I don't get why we have to "reimagine" everything??! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
