I just went with black satin flares and a cobbled together top (2 rectangles of Devore made into a batwing top) Also platforms. I was never going to win any prizes but I can wear the shoes and trousers again!

Oooh for 80s I go Wham ( either Pepsie n Shirlie or the WHAM big T Shirt, belts, vests)

Madonna
Banamarama

or 70s would have to be Abba or a take on the glam rock style

KISS ?

What are you leaning towards?

I dressed DS up for an 80s party in a Frankie Style RELAX top, belts, rolled up chinos, converses, spikey hair - he looked lush. Grin

Sorry for disappearing, had to take my critter to hospital :( (she's fine now).

Thanks for the ideas! So are flares 70's? What about the crazy colour tops? Are they 70's or 60's?

Mr Benn, a Womble?

How about dressing all in grey, with grey gloves and making one of these?

I have a 70's party in a couple weeks and I am wearing this dress with platform knee highs.
