I love this show.

Question, though ---- did people really wear outfits like they wore on the show?  The weird drapey long dresses and sequins?

Hi Mellie.   I love this show too.    I also wonder often about their clothing.   It's Miami but yet they are always wearing pants, sweaters, jackets etc.

I don't watch, but one of my aunts has commented that Bea Arthur wore some ugly shoes on that show!

Remember this was in the 80"s Sadly to say- yes, women did dress like this. Pant suits that were oversized and bling has never went away.

She wore those scrunchy boots often.  I don't know what they were called.

Like these!

Yes they did and back in the day when that show was being filmed those were the styles for older women. It is rather interesting but if you watch and really pay attention to each one of them you will see that all four of them had their own distinct style. Which actually suited each one of them perfectly.

Just recently I watched what must have been the series finale. Dorothy was getting married (to Leslie Nielsen!) and moving out of the house. If you don't remember it, please Google it to see the ugliest wedding dress I've ever seen. (And no, I don't think all those 80's outfits were ugly. Some dated, some too blingy, but nothing that makes me think OMG like her dress. Regardless of our varied tastes on this forum (Logo vs. Nogo; bootcut vs. skinny jeans, etc.) I'm betting we'd all agree on this dress.

30 years from now people will be saying the same exact thing about what we are wearing today. They'll say, "Man! What were they thinking? Those were some butt ugly clothes that they wore!"
