Anyone else remember Biba?

As I was at school I couldn't afford the clothes but had a lipstick in a purple case. Shared it with a friend!

I have a blood blister on my midriff still from a skirt I got from Tammy Girl in 1987 for my first high school disco.

My favourite clothes were from Morgan de Too, Levi and Jane Norman

JillyJoy · 05/11/2025 22:07

I still have some C&A, Salopettes from when I was 20, and a summer weight dressing gown even older..

Clartzilla · 05/11/2025 22:30

I've a brown Bay Trading wrap dress that still fits. It must be 25 years old at least.

Other than that, Tammy Girl which was literally a few rails hidden upstairs in the local Adams Kids clothing shop and Warehouse which again was several rails in the local small department store.

My introduction to New Look was courtsey of my cousin who needed me to look the part at my first 911 concert with her.

Does nobody remember Ocean Pacific?

There's a highly embarrassing photo of myself wearing knee length white socks (we used to wear them scrunched down in a series of folds), a bright pillarbox red skirt (straight down, calf length with two small pleats at the front), a bright red and white candy striped shirt (tucked into the skirt) and a red Ocean Pacific jumper (resting over the shoulders, 80s style)....I think I even had a kind of mullet haircut 😳
