Jeannes Gems - Gem Chick says:h my! – but what about the plaid? I think I was wearing granny skirts and hot pants at that time. (junior high?)

Debbi aka Sparkle Chick says:Loved saddle shoes but never saw anything but the standard black & white. You were definitely a fashionista! And I meant to say sisters (plural) in my previous comment about the picture you posted.
I like this pick!

CAS says:Plaid WOOL no less. Every summer my Nana and her sister, my Great-aunt Stella, would come to visit. They would give us each $25 to buy fabric with so Mom could make us new clothes for the school year. We would go to a Woolen outlet (Dewey’s in Quechee Vermont), and could buy any fabric we wanted (and came to less than $25). Plaid was the thing for wools, so every year we had new plaid outfits on the first day of school.

Debbi aka Sparkle Chick says:My Mom sewed too and every year we each got 3 new dresses or skirts for school. We did get to pick the fabric every once in a while but Mom knew some bargain places to get fabric. She actually brought home some heavy tapestry once (I think it MUST have been for a couch!) and I liked it so much I had her make me a skirt out of it…a LONG skirt! A long & HEAVY skirt! I wore it on my 2nd date with my hubby. I’ll see if I can find the picture. I was 17.

CAS says:Here is the year before’s plaid offerings, 1972 I think. I went with purple corduroy skirt and matching vest (I wore a lot of vests back then) that year.

Jeannes Gems - Gem Chick says:very cute!
Hey – did you ever have the fake leather jumper? I believe it was brown plastic. Quite stylish at the time.

Debbi aka Sparkle Chick says:I love these pictures Christine! What a cute bunch!
Jeanne, my mom made my sister & I the fake leather skirts…with matching vests!
Here is the pic of the tapestry skirt…

CAS says:No, no fake leather. For school it was mostly corduroy, wool, cotton or denim. My sister (in the green, not in the pink/purple) had a pair of brown suede culottes in high school (’76 – ’80) that she loved. And I seem to remember some pleather coat hand-me-downs.

CAS says:Debbi, pretty skirt! It must have weighed a ton though. I remember those blouses with all the ruffles, I even had one or two myself.
On Mar 07, 2009 at 6:36 pm #
Debbi aka Sparkle Chick says:It DID weigh a ton but the fabric was so pretty and I LOVED that blouse! I think they were “in” in 1972 and have been back a couple of times since!

Jeannes Gems - Gem Chick says:The skirt was pretty. I had similar fabric. (my dad was an upholsterer) Was it long to the floor? I remember wearing long skirts and blouses for new years and school dances. you know what Christine? I do remember a plaid one. sorry – I have no idea where that picture is.

CAS says:Jeanne, I wore a long (to the floor) red & black plaid satin jumper with black 4 inch high flocked roses around the hem to my Christmas holiday dance in 1977. I loved that jumper, no pictures of it though.

Classy Chick JbyJill says:My mom also made my sister and my clothes for school. Oh, the good old days. I wish I had some pics, but they are all at my mom’s.

Cathy H Chocolate Chick says:I had one of the fake leather jumpers – mine was white. Boy, was that thing hot (I mean “heat” hot) to wear. I guess that I thought it was pretty “cool” to wear though.
