Wearable art blast from the past

[Lorchen]

How about this! Hot pants when they were around for the first time. And before anybody asks...... yes, that's me. 8)

[Margo]

HOLEY MOLEY!! :shock: Isn't it too bad that we couldn't all look like we did in our youth, but be as smart as we are today :?:

[Lorchen]

Margot, when you have worked out how to do that, bottle it and sell it. In no time you'll have more money in the bank than Bill Gates.

[LoriReid]

I'll buy some. :mrgreen:

[twiglet]

Wow Lorchen you were a corker 8)

Margo I won't be buying any of your stuff I wasn't that great when I was young

Oh dear I googled hot pants to find a picture and pretend it was me. I daren't share what it came up with. :lol:

[Reetzbobeetz]

Wow Lorchen, what a looker! Great legs. :wink:

Call me very old-fashioned but I would prefer young women dressed like that compared to what can be seen on a night out. The young and not-so young could do with a tabard and a pair of trousers over what they go out in these days. Oh and yes I did have a couple of tabards and flared trousers as well as the ones that looked like a box around your legs. I did my first patchwork round about the time that picture was publish I think. Late sixties early seventies? I'm glad I'm not young now! I can dress like I want

Wow, yes, great legs and the same lovely smile. I love the fabric too Lorchen :-)

It is good that some things never come back in style. :lol:

Does anyone else find that when clothes shopping, just about everything seems to be a blast from the past? And when I can remember my mother wearing something similar, I really don't want to wear it.... but oddly enough, retro hosehold items (and furnishings) are fine (maybe they are comforting?)

[QuiltRGirl]

Yes, and quite frankly some of them were not that wonderful the first time around! LOL

[Margo]

Isn't that the truth! :lol:

I agree with you ladies that it could have been a dress I would have worn in the 70's. Oh and don't forget the Neru (I think thats how you spell it) Jackets. I have a pic of me wearing one of those jackets as a dress :shock:

Yep! Me too!

[clhdabb]

Ditto's--- Great picture Lorchen. The fabric looks fun and happy. Maybe a quilt inspiration? Thanks for sharing.

I don't think I ever wore my mini-skirts as short as some are today. I remember my favorite outfit, an op-art black and white skirt and yellow fish nets with patent leather pumps. Ha! Oh, and a black turtle neck.
