Wow this was a hard one! But I had to go with Lois this time. She was totally working the ancient apparel. And nothing adds a little extra flair to an outfit like becoming possesed!
Aside from the bubble skirt (which is gave me horrible flashbacks to a 6th grade choir concert), I think this is a great dress, and aside from the more costume-y-costumes I've really liked a lot of the wardrobe I've seen for Lois this season.
I didn't actually see the SV episode so I might be biased but as a child of the 70's, I can't see ANYONE as Isis except JoAnna Cameron, who played the goddess in the god-awful-yet-kinda-awesome tv show "The Secrets of Isis":
I've recently been watching She-Ra, He-Man, Bravestarr, and the Original Ghostbusters the one with the gorilla so I know what you mean about the awful yet kinda awesome tv shows. "For the honor of Greyskull!"
The animation is awful, the acting so-so, the story-lines questionable, and yet.. those shows are so darn entertaining! Just goes to prove, there's a kid in all of us. ;-)
Having done some sewing in my life, I would say that it is not crinkle fabric, but rather gathered to meet properly with the ribbed fabric that makes up the shoulder straps and bodice.
Actually, it really isn't that difficulty for a seamstress to create that effect. What they may also have done is put a heavier material behind what appears to be muslin or a fine linen (doubt they would spend the bucks on fine linen) and then used a sewing machine to make the ribbing effects. You would get what appears to be a gather effect, but with a lot less effort. You just have to keep your stitch lines straight. Now, doing 11 yards of 1 inch cartridge pleats, by hands through 3 layers of material...now that's hard :)
