Whose Wardrobe would you love to have??

[I'mSuzyParker]

Okay, I am watching way too much old tv/movies these days (vacation), but here's a question for the ladies. What characters' wardrobes would you love to have?? Here's mine (for now)

Daytime - Laura Petrie - the suits, the dresses, the capri pants, it's all good

Evening - Any Carole Lombard character's - the silk slip dresses.. perfect

Bedtime - Lucy & Desi's matching striped pajamas. How darn cute

 

[MarieAnne]

Esther Williams' swimsuits!

Rita Hayworth in Gilda for evening wear.

Ingrid Bergman in Casablanca for daytime wear.

 

[Caity Lynn]

how about Dita's wardrobe...and being able to make my own additions to it.

 

[Miss 1929]

Kay Francis!

 

[Lily Powers]

Well, I WAS going to say Kay Francis, but Miss 1929, you beat me to it! I pause the TiVo when I watch her movies, just to check out her gowns. fftopic: Purchased her bio, "I Can Hardly Wait to be Forgotten" and looking forward to some free time to begin reading. She never lost her verve!

 

[Amy Jeanne]

ANY 1930s movie star!!!

 

[Foofoogal]

In my alter ego life.
Anything Jean Harlow had on in Platinum Blonde. Amazing.

Ginger Rogers clothes in the Fred and Ginger movies. Definitely. Years ago, when I went looking for a vintage wedding gown, that was my description when talking to sales people about what I was looking for. lol

 

[Inky]

good thread!!

for daytime wear - Katherine Hepburn in nearly anything she starred in with Spencer Tracy during the 40's. I love her look in Woman of the Year.

for evening - I bow to Joan Crawford. Sooooo 40's glam and crazy (!) perfection.

and I agree with MarieAnne - Esther Williams' swimsuits!

I would love to have Gene Tierney's wardrobe in Laura. That white dress is simply gorgeous!

 

[deadpandiva]

Myrna Loy in the 1930's. I love her whole wardrobe (Hats, suits, evening gowns etc...)
Also I would love Lauren Bacalls Wardrobe from Designing Woman along with her costar.

I re-watched 'How To Marry A Millionaire' last weekend and realised what fabulous wardrobes all 3 stars have:

 

[CherryRed]

I'll take anything Deanna Durbin:

 

[Miss Golightly]

I would love anything from Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly's wardrobe during the 1950's and a lot of Marilyn Monroe's studio and personal wardrobe (I have a copy of the Christies catalogue for the auction of her personal effects and her clothes and accessories were divine).

 

[Odalisque]

Doris Day's in Romance on the High Seas. I love her slightly gaudy, over-the-top outfits.

 

[Grant Fan]

Rita Hayworth both her characters and her, she just had great clothes

And I would love Katherine Hepburn's day wear

 

[fifties gal]

I just saw a movie with Michael Caine and Demi Moore called "Flawless". Her wardrobe, late 50s or early 60s was great. Also love the clothes on "Mad Men"- they're early 60s for sure.

 

[Esme]

I liked Bette Davis' wardrobe in Now Voyager. I even liked her "old maid" dresses, but I agree, those eyebrows had to go!!

BEST-MAKEOVER-MOVIE-EVER!!

 

[Mary]

Great tread! Please post more wonderful pictures. I love it! I know very little of actresses different styles.

Just one dress...

There is this one dress that Lucille Ball wears in "I Love Lucy," and eveytime I see it, it drives me crazy because I want it so badly! It's this beautiful white dress with a stand up coller and flowers/leaves just around the mid-section. I have no idea what it looks like in color, but it's so beautiful I'm tempted to blow my savings on having a tailor recreate it!
