The Compleat Wardrobe of Angelique Collins (et al): 1897 (DuVal vs. DuBois)

Continuing our examination of the fits and fashions of Angelique Collins etc. etc., in her 1897 incarnation, freshly plucked from hell, and only given four outfits to choose from.


The strange brown number with the enormous pirate cuffs ... is this supposed to be representative of the 18th century?  Was Lucifer making a joke?  Did Angelique lose a bet?  After these initial two episodes of Angelique's return to earth, we never see it again.


The blue/lavender (depending on the light) and maroon number that Angelique rocks A LOT during this timeline.  Honestly, it's a competition between that and the dragon lady number.  (See below.)


What I've dubbed "the dragon lady dress," which Angelique might have doffed more than the above blue and maroon number.  Someone should fact check me on that.  It was made especially famous in the below photo shoot:








Finally, after months and months playing a wealthy heiress (DuVal or DuBois?  no one knows) at the turn of the century, and relying on TWO dresses, Angelique FINALLY receives a cute blue "traveling" dress, which she demonstrates once and wears twice ... and then the show return to the 60s.  Ah, well.  She married up, financially speaking, at least.

NEXT UP:  Mrs. Rumson!
