we had to wear dresses or (more common) skirts all through school.

and when we got on our knees, the skirt had to touch the floor or it was too short and we got sent home.

My sister got sent home once. Mom was boiling over because she'd made the dress. She brought it up at the next PTA meeting.

so what was the verdict?

I remember poodle skirts, saddle shoes, kilts with knee socks and sweaters that matched. gogo boots.


jumpers. (I actually liked those).

white gloves to church on Sunday morning.

no wonder when we got old enough we wore jeans. and nothing but jeans.

White gloves to church and town. You dressed up when you went to town.
