what did children wear in the sixties?

[cheesesarnie]

need outfit ideas for dd-9,ds1-8 and ds2-3.
were going to a morris 1000 rally and have to dress in 60's clothing.

We wore drindle skirts made of poplin or gingham, a blouse and hand knit socks and cardigans. Startrights on feet. Ribbon in hair.
Nylon anorak to finish the whole ensemble !
I'll see if there are any links out there.

Where is the rally? I have a Morris too.

do you???
north cornwall.were off to a few this year-we normally only do one at crealy.

Mine is still in bits - well the doors are but I'm working on getting it finished soon. She is a 1960 model just like me!

ooooh thanks.looks good.

yours is older-ours is 65 or 67???i always wanted one but dont drive(yet,im having lessons) so i brought one and dh fell in love with it!
ive tried driving it but as seat doesnt move forward and im short,my feet dont reach properly

I took the seat out and moved the seat groove holdery things forward then screwed them back in. Anyone taller than me would be squashed when driving.
It is the estate version. I love it.

i love that theres a fellow morris minor lover on here!

good idea about moving seat,although im unsure dh would agree!

link for spare parts but the picture looks like my one

which one,i can see 3 pics.i tried to put pic of ours on but it doesnt want to work

this one looks like mine except much shinier and spruce

oooh beutiful!

There's been an exhibition on kids' clothing over the years at the V&A Museum of Childhood in east London. Not sure if it's still on but you might find some good pics on their website.

In summer, boys tended to wear a t shirt but tucked into shorts. White ankle socks and a woolly pullover. Hair like Peter Mandelson.

thanks-will look at site!
boys sounds good-or do-able.
