Oh, my; I'm glad those things are long out of style. Over here in the U.S. they were called "Leisure Suits", I believe, and they weren't complete without revealing half of a man's chest and a garish gold necklace of some ilk.Tanya Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15919250829858831002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33880433.post-17436994182639050472007-04-05T11:41:00.000+10:002007-04-05T11:41:00.000+10:00Crimpelene was a kind of polysester fabric, that w...Crimpelene was a kind of polysester fabric, that was supposed to be a wonder fabric. It was awful, & didnt breathe at all, & really was just horrible. Safari suits were awful too, with horrible pleated jackets, & short sleeves on the jackets.<BR/>They are fun to mock now, & laugh about.meggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00061112627819270427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33880433.post-25494246837645015802007-04-05T07:13:00.000+10:002007-04-05T07:13:00.000+10:00I don't know what Crimpelene is but I can imagine!...I don't know what Crimpelene is but I can imagine! I like to disguise my bumpy bits with comfortable clothes too, and all the while look at least 'enough in this decade' so that my children will tolerate being seen in my company out and about.

Natural fibres are more comfortable.<BR/>Hmmm the beehive.. how we tortured our hair, withe backcombing! Which my Grandmother told me had been the fashion when she was a girl!<BR/><BR/>I am soooo glad I gave up smoking years ago.

Since retro is all the rage now, maybe people will think I'm going retro too.
