MVfan Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 I'm thinking of making a MV-inspired costume to wear this year for a Halloween party, and I saw some very 80's-looking metallic material in a variety of colors that I could work with for a dress. I'm wondering if anyone here can think of any metallic/shiny dresses worn on the show that looked good. I really want to get as authentic as I can, and if I see a picture, I might be able to make something similar. I don't have all of the DVDs, but if anyone knows of an episode that featured something like this that looked good, I'll look for screen captures of it in the Glossary if it's not on one of the season DVDs that I have.Thanks!

Lar Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 Not shiny or metallic, but there is an "official" women's Vice costume.http://www.amazon.com/Vicky-Vice-Sexy-Miami-Costume/dp/B000J289KWI know, I know...In all seriousness, how about this number from S2's Phil The Shill:Maybe someone has some better shots.

Maria714 Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 Nice Shoes! Wasn't that phrase said in the episode "Florence Italy" to Trudy by the crossdresser? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COOPER&BURNETT Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 Wasn't that phrase said in the episode "Florence Italy" to Trudy by the crossdresser?Yep. That was the line.I had the opportunity to actually BUY that dress for my collection. Olivia Brown autographed a letter she typed, and a video of the episode it appeared in. It was sold at an auction to benifit charity, and that person offered to sell it to me. I turned it down because I was single, and felt odd and shy about buying womens clothes.I SOOOOO regret this now.:cry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVfan Posted November 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 Here is a picture of the MV-inspired Halloween costume that I made to wear this year. I knew that I wanted to make something out of shiny metallic fabric, and although silver is seen a lot in the show, I'm partial to blue, so I came up with something that would include both! At one point, I even wore my husband's white Andrew Fezza linen sportcoat over the dress, which really gave the outfit a Vice look! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MVfan Posted November 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 Thanks! I don't think I have any pictures with the blazer. I really only wore it over the dress when we were going out for pizza after the Halloween party since the weather had gotten colder by then - yes, I actually walked into a restaurant dressed like this!
