<font= jingle singing> Sears has it at Junior Bizarre!

[Zen]

Bizarre indeed but I think it's actually "bazaar"

I feel so young I was only born in 72...

Papaver- AGGHG...The Bros look. AGGGH..
I prefer the earlyish to mid 80's rather than the 90's. Now I have the urge to watch Flashdance , Fame & St Elmo's Fire.

Oh Gawd. Those leg warmers and ripped up looking T-shirts with one naughty shoulder showing.

Those Sears short dresses with shorts underneath...I remember them as 'hot pants'. Yup. I had a set..Mom sewed them.

You know the 70's Show that featured the 1970's styles..I hate revival of styles from that area. But then the early-mid 1980's styles of big brushed women's hair, padded shoulders in suits, dresses ..and the whole "Dallas/JR Ewing flashy dress-up look" was just as bad.

When I see the little smock/sundress like blouses now worn over jeans..it just gives me slightly bad memories of those longer sundresses with smocking stitchery, at the top bodice with tie-up shoulder straps from the 1970's.

But really can you imagine..fashion revival of our current fashions in past 5 years....to reoccur in 20 yrs.?? Ughhh, I'm sorry. Will future fashionistas revive butt-crack, thong-showing jeans?

But low-rise jeans ARE a revival...from the '60s. hip-huggers.

At least back then, hip-huggers were more decent. I actually think alot of the current popular fashions and cuts, look cheap and craftsmanship in tailoring/sewing technique has degraded. I am picky because I used to do alot of sewing, tailored stuff, etc.

Zen, I actually don't really like many of the current loose tops like the sundress tops and dressy variations.

Am pretty boring...just a classic cut shirt with standup collar, with French cuffs (or sleeveless) and beautiful French seams that is slightly fitted in the body is good enough.

I used to raid my mother's wardrobe from the 1950's and worn certain pieces for 5-6 years --gorgeous wool tailored suits with incredible structural tailored features and cuts. Beautiful quality tailoring where clothing and fabric durability was long lasting. She got some brand new pieces from her sisters who worked in garmet factories.

I just don't like wearing clothes so a sundress is great for me

Terry skorts, anyone? Yes, please.

I would wear one of those right this minute with no qualms or apologies.

Since this thread is wandering anyway, this is a really good book about perceptions of women back in "the day." And "the day" actually extends I want to say until the 70s in this book. It covers the books about how the bad boys you weren't supposed to date (the guy on the cover is totally my type) and Lysol as, dun dun dun, a friggin douche!
