Actually in a long-ago blogpost there was a description of a 1980s young woman:<br /><br />a pink cotton boiler-suit, many top buttons left untouched and a tight belt to cinch her figure at the waist.<br /><br /> And I said: Nothing can be proved about how I know that this is not as unlikely as it sounds in a sensible, career-minded and professional person working in the media at that time. <br /><br />Let's just add that mine wasn't pink, and leave you to guess what colour it was...Clothes In Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14680610242823846662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-46753653504552781002015-07-03T18:30:10.150+01:002015-07-03T18:30:10.150+01:00That's a great and accurate description of it ...That's a great and accurate description of it - I think you'll like it if you're in the right mood for it.

Great descriptions and really effective at adding character depth. And it does sound like a fascinating look at relationships, to say nothing of the lifestyle of the period. It's good to hear some of these books are getting new audiences through outlets such as Open Road Media.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
