1980s party...

[seeker]

...I've bought dd this

Any ideas what she should wear with it? I was there - but I can't remember!

definitely white pointed shoes
lace fingerliess gloves
neon eyeshadow
duran duran style blusher
a clutch bag like an envelope
loads of beads (like the pic)

6h, I had forgotten white shoes! I wonder where I can get some cheap ones - ebay here I come!

i bet places like peacocks and primark and new look have shoes likethat in stock right now

these? how old is dd? do you want flats?

jellie shoes

She's 13 - but looks disconcertingly closer to 17 in the dress!

nailpolish has the full list, but also more hairspray than you can possibly imagine (boots firm hold unperfumed was my drug of choice back in the day...). I always thought that if you lit a match in the ladies loos in most of the clubs I went to, the whole place would go up.

Those New Look pumps are brilliant - the pink ones would look good!

Very curly hair1

I thought I might get some big rollers and set her hair for her - if I can remember how to do it! I'm thinking Farah Fawcett-Major!

oh god yes the hairspray - how could i forget!
but my fave was harmony

this bag would be quite good

dont forget also blue or neon pink nailpolish

and a whole can of impulse 'chic' (ah those were the days...)

In the early 80s I used to do my Farah Fawcett hair with curling tongs (suspect you could improvise with straightening irons!). But for the full later 80s hair, it's backcomb and spray, all the way!

oh, and loads of bangles as well as beads, and tie bits of lace in her hair in the style of early madonna!

This is fab! I've got my very own Barbie Doll to play with - come and play too, everyone!

She has waist length hair - so probably 2 cans of Harmony!
