ah yes I remember the skirts with the broderie anglaise petticoat showing... and unhip people telling you that your slip was showing.
This was the decade that I discovered Laura Ashley and I still have some of my dresses - some from the shop and some made by me. Yes they have shrunk in the wardrobe!

I'm glad it's not just my stuff that's shrunk

I made a black jumbo cord midi skirt with big black buttons but that would have been towards the end of the 70s I think.
@realale
that was daring. I was riding a motorbike from age 16 so skirts weren't practical. Plus I'd spent years fighting the school uniform 'girls can't wear trousers' rule. I don't think I owned a skirt (apart from the dreaded school skirt) or dress until much later.

What is it with these wardrobes? Is it the sort of wood they use?

Well yes, my mum was making me the clothes in the 70s. I'm all of 52!
