when I was young I wore some of my mums old 1950's frocks ( she had been much slimmer than me but some fitted) and particularly liked wearing a blue, white and black dress with a little bolero jacket :-)..that's long gone and now if I wear a frock I look like Mrs Brown :-( |

Not for a good few years and even then very rarely. Don't think I own one tbh. |

it took me years to use the word dress as opposed to frocks. |

I love the pencil style frocks and if I wear anything with a highwaist I look like Les Dawson, I am so glad for the maxi's have made a come back as I tend to wear them loads on holidays its the only time I wear frocks now. I have a knee lengh knitted red dress I sometimes wear for work with my thick wooly tights and boots but I have a right derby on me..... |

Haven't worn a frock since the 70s and even then rarely, a few long flowing Kaftans late 60s early 70s maybe, but with my legs and height without the benefit of 6 inch platforms I would look and feel distinctly uncomfortable :-( |

Actually Wend you have just reminded me of something, there used to be a thread on t'other site about wedding dresses some people posts photos of their own and some of GGrandparents, I loved that thread and could look at it for hours and hours over again to see the different styles over the ages. Would be good if we all posted a thread with a rellie our own ( cant havent got one on my PC and havent got a scanner) wedding dresses on it ... |
