plus ca change"

I had a striped number from BHS (Classy!) when I was 13 - I am now 38.

i had a cream one with and arran pattern on it
i wore it with Pixie boots

i do, and i didn't wear them back then, either.

sweater dresses and people under 5ft., 6in. don't mix.

just made me look like a walking blanket.

me me me me me

I looked marvellous. but then I was 13, flatchested, skinny and longlegged and only the last still applies, sob

I had a blue one with a line of sheep at the bottom. Later my mum converted it into a jumper but it never quite worked.

Did everyone's bottom make the back bulge out or was that just my monstrosity?

oh fgs you wer a kid
oyu wore wither what you were told to or what was in fashion
either way you looked bad - non?

I do, I had a rather fetching pink one with me pink stilletos and maybe a droopy belt with big hair!!!

i didn't think of myself as a kid when those last came out, though.

i was a teen desperately trying to pass for an adult.

no. those things just hid the lovely figure i was desperate to show off - once i escaped my father's watchful eye.

arf
did no one else ahve the silvery thread in the knitting?
was tellign dh about that look int he early 80s of string vests over t shirts
he siad thta didnt hit herefordshire

i wanted one of those stringy vests. my dad said they looked like fishing nets and if i wanted one, i had to spend my own money.

Yes I had a string vest in turquoise. Matched my ankle warmers which went with my jeans with the white stripe down the side!

those vests were always in neon colours

i todl dh theat in hereforshire thye just had the string vests

I had a polo necked sweater dress from Benetton
I would look ruddy awful in them now - I have even less waist than I did then, I'd look like a bloke in a blanket.

string vests over t-shirts? hereforshire didn't know what it was missing. I had a long sleeved bat-winged black string top from Clockwork st C&A that I wore over just a bra. god I looked good. anyone remember flying/jump suits? keep seeing those try to make a come-bakc but never actually see anyone wearing one. i had a lemon-yellow one which I wore with a black belt, a grey one with some pink zips and a sort of purpley-pink checked affair that must have looked like pyjamas

clockwork at c and a
god yes

I used my dad's actual string vest and tied different coloured ribbons through the holes. I think I got the idea from 'Jackie' magazine

I also had turquoise dungarees that said "Go-Go" on them, and a Clockwork checked black and royal blue wool jacket.

I think it's been reinvented

I had one, it was a cheapo one and I didn't dare sit down in it because when I stood up you could still see the bumps where my knees had been

I had a polo neck one with a zip, mmm classy!

I wore dungarees w/Doc Marten boots.

I also wore 'parachute' trousers and my dad said they looked like clown's trousers.

I had lots of leg warmers b/c I was in ballet from the age of 3.

I also wore my ballet skirts over trousers. WTF?

It wasn't clockwork, it was CLOCKHOUSE, ARF.

You don't have to be 30 to remember these. I'm 24 and remember them. I had a number of them in gaudy primary coloured sweatshirt material with horrid embroidered polo shirt type collars...
