Members SweetPea36 Posted March 29, 2012 Members Share Posted March 29, 2012 I have two answers and both of these were true throughout their runs. Robin Strasser on OLTL and Constance Towers on GH. I understand those are Towers' clothes she wears on GH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ellabelle Posted March 29, 2012 Members Share Posted March 29, 2012 Erica Kane, anytime after the early 80s. She always had the best clothes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MissLlanviewPA Posted March 29, 2012 Members Share Posted March 29, 2012 I thought Blair on OLTL had some awesome clothes, but it could just be that KDP looked good in almost anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Pine Charles Posted March 29, 2012 Members Share Posted March 29, 2012 Oh, that bitch always had style...and guts. I've always said that Erica Kane was the Gaga of her day. She even made a Phantom mask look chic... WERK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members frequentsoapfan Posted March 29, 2012 Author Members Share Posted March 29, 2012 Jill Foster Abott had great style as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SweetPea36 Posted March 29, 2012 Members Share Posted March 29, 2012 Lisa Miller Hughes Eldridge Shea Colman McColl Mitchell Grimaldi (Eileen Fulton) on As the World Turns. I loved her wardrobe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MissLlanviewPA Posted March 29, 2012 Members Share Posted March 29, 2012 Andrea Evans' Tina had some pretty fabulous clothes herself. And while her wardrobe wasn't always perfect, I LOVED the dress Gabrielle wore in my avatar--it was the dress she wore in her very first scenes on the show in Argentina.

Members ellabelle Posted March 30, 2012 Members Share Posted March 30, 2012 That beaded thing she wore on her head was auctioned off recently during the AMC wardrobe auction and sale. I can't believe AMC held onto it for that many years... I highly doubt they could have worked THAT into her wardrobe again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members frequentsoapfan Posted March 30, 2012 Author Members Share Posted March 30, 2012 I thought AMC had the best wardrobe of the ABC soaps even at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted March 30, 2012 Members Share Posted March 30, 2012 Fallon wore one on Dynasty too. Erica's clothes were great throughout the '80s leading into the mid-'90s. The '90s were more austere, and after they let Carol Luiken go, they began to dress her like she was Amanda on Melrose Place. Like Erica, Dorian had great clothes in the '80s but better extended that '80s glam look into the '90s up until a year or two before RS left the second time. Dorian was also the last soap character to sport an array of furs. There were winters in the mid-'90s where she wore fur everyday, as many as ten coats a season. Constance Towers' Helena is imo the currently best dressed character on soaps. She's dressed like Dorian should have always been dressed. Dorian began to look like a kooky caricature of herself, and as MdLC pointed out, not unlike Betty Davis in her final years. If you factor in her short stint, Sydney Chase may have very well been the most consistently best, and most expensively, dressed character, Morgan Fairchild providing a lot of her own wardrobe. And of course there was Felicia Gallant... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SweetPea36 Posted March 30, 2012 Members Share Posted March 30, 2012 I loved that red suit of Dorian's with the leopard fur buttons and collar. That thing was gorgeous. I was told Strasser bought that suit for her personal wardrobe. I agree about Constance Towers. She always looks perfect. I was told she always wears her own clothes. I wonder if anyone can verify that. Not sure about LaLucci, mostly because I'm no more a fan of stunt costuming than I am of stunt casting. I thought she looked beautiful at times, bizarre at others. Stunt costuming usually detracts from the story. Not a fan of the "Have you seen my breasts yet?" costume choices of a few women on GH. The less said about that, the better. GH had a good wardrobe head for a time, but they've had some shakeups which have been obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members frequentsoapfan Posted March 30, 2012 Author Members Share Posted March 30, 2012 Erika wore a fur shawl with a very sparkly strapless dress. I remember cuz Opal was wearing a very shining dress in the scenes with her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
