I grew up in that era too, also from a working class then poorer family, and I cringe at the photos. I remember the bad short haircut, the patched polyester flares that gave my legs a rash, and items crocheted from the ugliest yarn colors available. I think it left us all traumatized because the clothes from each era that I'm most drawn to are upper class garments, pretty things. Working class clothes in drab colors don't have the same appeal to me. If I absolutely had to wear something peasanty, it would be some pretty embroidered dirdl or something gypsy.Lynn Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02993492904050155464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5176118654182567104.post-51469526651938134172013-02-24T08:29:50.254-08:002013-02-24T08:29:50.254-08:00I love all the 70s pictures for their hideousness....I love all the 70s pictures for their hideousness. And you really did a great job of saying how everyone was wearing those styles. That is one decade of fashion that does not need to have a repeat, ever!<br /><br />I agree with you that lower class clothes aren't really my thing. I'm planning to have a simple cotton Regency gown for that challenge, I think. <br /><br />Best,<br />QuinnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
