It's not surprising, really - those particular styles just look wrong and frumpy worn knee length.vintagehoarderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16712215159631487676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1623916397876614025.post-73518691928161717402013-01-28T20:59:56.431-08:002013-01-28T20:59:56.431-08:00I think some of this is that pattern companies wer...I think some of this is that pattern companies weren't exactly at the front lines of fashion.

As for the knee length 'A' line dresses shown here: aren't they just about as frumpy as it comes? No one under age 60 was wearing that length (maybe those 'stretch and sew' knit gals were on a poly planet of their own). <br /><br /><br /><br />Jen Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12371112170847037417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1623916397876614025.post-28150145582055043662013-01-27T17:00:36.274-08:002013-01-27T17:00:36.274-08:00No, there were no good fashions for most of the &#...No, there were no good fashions for most of the '70s! I remember those polyester double knits with the thick patterned designs, the a-line shift dresses (made of the knits) that could stand up by themselves they were so stiff, AND let's not forget the maxi-dress in calico prints with deep flounced skirts and cotton lace accents. Oh, those were the days! Glad they're gone!

I'm loving the short bare summer spread tho.
