I forgot the dress standards.
No red at all, ever, anywhere. Fuschia pink was allowed from the age of 13 (why when it was such a hideous colour?), but never red.
Green was similarly banned.
Black was banned.
No yellow.
No grey.
No brown.
No white except a school shirt, socks (no stripes allowed, by the way) or underwear.
I think I spent the entire time in blue one way or another, as pastels really, really did not suit me at all.
No nail varnish of any type. In fact, no nail scissors or clippers, either - it was expected to bite off the fingernails to keep them short and to pick off the toenails.
Studs were acceptable, but creole earrings were absolutely not. No necklaces, no bracelets, no chains, no rings and absolutely nothing to adorn the feet, which had to be covered at all times other than in the bath, preferably with both socks and shoes.
The only time it was permitted to not wear socks or underwear was when in the bath once a week for one hour exactly from when the water was turned on.
Hair had to be permanently in a tight pony tail at the back of the head, secured with a rubber band and then scraped back with a needle sharp hairbrush dragged over the scalp and through the many tangles (as conditioner or shampoo suitable for hair was a profligate waste of money) as the old band was torn out of the rats nest and replaced the following morning. I think this one was something to do with headlice prevention, as it also included forbidding the sitting next to anybody close enough for heads to touch or ever using somebody else's hairbrush.
It was all a bit shit, really.
