Can anyone help please? I've got this memory of maybe a girl group or a musical or something where they've all got different coloured dresses in these different bright colours, all different colour combinations. I sound like I've lost the plot don't I! I thought maybe it was a girls allowed video but it's not. Any ideas please? It might be from the 80's.

Are you sure you're not thinking of the Girls Aloud Love Machine video? It's the first thin I thought of when I saw the image in your OP.

Those dresses always make me smile as they are so early noughties, real time capsule fashion.

Interested in this thread?

It makes me think of one of the dresses in the original West Side Story, but I’m fairly certain that’s not the reference you’re looking for!

MutheroGod · 24/12/2021 19:45

Yes, Girls Aloud had a video with those colour of dresses, think it was Love Machine

Emmas85 · 24/12/2021 19:46

Beyoncé crazy in love is so similar to that dress

JellyTots2009 · 24/12/2021 19:47

Are you sure it's not any of these pictures of girls aloud?

Girls aloud at the Brits one year?

Beyonce did have a similar dress in crazy in love vid yes.

Lj8893 · 24/12/2021 19:48

I thought of the Saturdays. Didn’t they all wear their own colour?

RonniePickering · 24/12/2021 19:48

Yeah my first thought was Beyoncé.

Beyoncé and the girl to the right of her are both wearing that colour combination.

Papertrail392 · 24/12/2021 19:58

Thankyou for all the great suggestion, I've googled them all but none of them fit. I'm sure it was a group and they had big petticoats and all the colours kind of mixed and matched. As a little girl I had a particular favourite and I rememberjust loving all the colours. This is going to drive me mad!

I'm wondering it it might have been a theatre show, maybe a pantomime but I don't think it was. I'm sure it was something on TV that I watched a few times.

Saturdays/Beyonce would have been too late. I think it's more late 80's/ early 90's.
