I reckon you could still do Hotpants LWD you have a lovely figure.

That with the handbags was after my time!

Maxi's, Midi's and mainly Mini's But I NEVER did hot pants! Always thought my Bum was too big--Nowadays it's too big! lol
Always a long evening dress (which revealed my ample cleavage) to make the other ladies jealous of course for the 'works do' or any other 'Do' we could get to.Yes the men always in a suit and tie. Them suits with the big collars.omg.. and the long hair!
My favourite evening dress was a halter neck in a purply pink colour and I remember me and my short friend had to walk all the way through the dining room then the bar then the snooker room to the loo,on the way back the snooker room and bar were full of all the men from the dinner!!! Mont's workmates,never had so many wolf whistles in my life!! Back in the dining room a lot of sour faced wives, ooops!

How could you not have a handbag to dance round for goodness sake!

Wore mid-calf circular skirts and blouses, small heel on shoes. Cardigan or stole, no handbag! Men paid, carried your comb and spare pennies in their pockets! Pennies for the loo.

or tent **sniggers**

Stiil wear a long dress on a Saturday night..........................its called me nightdress. lol

Elizabeth, party plan firms like Pipadee and hostique used to sell long hostess gowns that could be either nighties or dresses.

They call it linen theses days MC..lol

........of course, when it was the fashion.......but I did like my cheesecloth.....lol

Merlin ...so glad I realised you were talking about prams not dresses there........ !

You could hide all sorts of things in them when you took out the bottom centre flap.( had to take the baby out first though) Very good for fetching Coke from the local gasworks though.**M**.

yes they were frocks not dresses....

When I were a lass,we all wore long frocks.

We called them Crinolines.

HB...you cant beat a desent pram even what we had for our babies....not these contraptions they push them about in now......what if there was a riot you'd never get a freezer in one of them..tsk

I bet it was sliver cross Merlin lease it dint have a sack of coal in there as well...lol

I never thought I would see the day when an "Empress" would admit to sitting in a "Common Pram",Perhaps a Coachbuilt Silver Cross Perambulator,but never a Pram. Well you live and learn.**M**.PMSL.:o)))>

my Mum had a stole, I remeber my lovely aunt waering hotpants and my mum was outraged my aunt was in her 30's but had a fantastic figure, my mum also had a bear fur coat someone had given her I remember her wearing one new years eve, after that it spent of the tome thrown over the foot of her bed in winter.... and Kay if they were 'ard up the wore rollers for todays instead of going to the hairdressers... every saturday morning the smell of setting lotion waffing round our local shops and women appearing out of the same doorway with the chiffon hair scarfs loosely fastened round their heads... ( the said hair dressers was right across the way from the bookies much to the blokes disgust lol)
