There was a mall store in the '80s that had plenty of clothes that were just fabric in tubes or whatever? Anyone remember that place? It wasn't Benneton, but it had some similarities--just a few solid, coordinating colors.
Sarongs are always too small to fit around me to be comfortable as a dress. :P

Ooh, and a tube thing that I wore over my head when in the convertible...actually, probably the precursor to the Buff!

I wonder if I could wear that. Those are some tiny women and they have just a little fabric left on some of those ties.... I'm not that tiny. I wonder if it would fit around me.
It looks very cool, though, that's for sure (cool temperature wise and cool style wise).
I remember Units, too. I LOVED those things. Of course, I wore leg warmers in the summer, rolled up my jeans, and wore two pair of socks at a time, so I guess my fashion sense in the 80's could be considered questionable...

Mother is quite the seamstress and made me a complete set of Units. I thought the concept was pretty neat. Originally Posted by Tuckervill

I love the video. I have never been good at scarves, shawls or any of that stuff.
I don't think these fashions would work with my Xootr, though.
