Lucy buys a Don Loper original - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I saw this episode today and it is hilarious where Lucy gets this dress and it cost 500 dollars in 1955 dollars. She's so afraid Ricky will kill her so she gets a sympathy sunburn thinking he'll feel so sorry for her and won't yell at her. Wrong! I love where she goes in the fashion show and can hardly model the tweed suit she's so sunburnt. Great stuff Lucille.

All of the Hollywood episodes are just great.

Everytime I see this episode I think about how my grandma told me she once got sunburnt like that. Ouch.

What's amazing is that $500 for a dress now is expensive. I wouldn't pay that.

omgosh this is one of my very favorite episodes! I would pay that much for a dres if I had other place's to wear it too. Sometimes it's so hard to find one.. when you find one for that much its just like I have to have it..I guess its a girl thing, well for me anyways LOL. Ricky I would hope you wouldnt pay that much for a dress.. or pay for a dress at all for that matter. That would start to worry me! LOLOL

Yep, I love this episode. I need to watch my tapes more often. It's so funny when she is modeling, lol.

*ShortCake* · 01-16-2003, 10:28 PM

LOL me too.. maybe I should this weekend. I wish they would sell the dvds though for like a full season like Friends & Mary Tyler Moore has done. It would be so much easier :/

$500 in 1955 is equivalent to about $3,200 today. That dress had better be nice!

Plenty, if you don't spend it all on a Don Loper original.

Geez, I'd never spend that much money on just a plain old dress like that one was.

Nice to finally see you back Jane, missed you, how's your friend doing? Would have wanted to see Lucy in the one Mrs Forest Tucker wore, Lucy so seldom wore glamorous gowns like that, must have been the price!

The friend is doing okay, but don't want to get into that. Can't remember the Mrs. Forest Tucker dress. But the one I think she looked best in around that time was the one she wore when she danced with such beauty and grace with Van Johnson.
