[karen-aa]

I know that ever change I get I love to wear a dress or skirt with all that gose with it under it. anyways what is your outfit you love to wear the most? :D

How long ago were you in high school? When I went in the mid-'70s, the plain "hippy" phase was in style, and girls wore pants, no makeup and hair hardly styled if at all. It seems as if nowadaya they all trying to look like little fashion models... I just went to high school in the wrong years!

I'm not sure dress makers would stay in business were it not for us. But your are right, many years ago girls and women wore dresses most of the time. Now, with feminine liberation they wear what is most comfortable for them. As with dresses, very few women wear girdles. Times have changed for women, But not for me. For me, I still prefer to wear dresses and girdles when I dress.

It has been many years since I have graduated High School. I must admit It is difficult to find the same styles I saw then. Maby in about 5 years we can see a come back or the great styles we saw in school. I would love to wear a mini with a tight top. But I would have to loose a few pounds befor summer. Like Amelie I would like to experience some of the newer fashions, maybe goth.

The year after I graduated from high school they began allowing girls to wear pants to school. I now spend much of my time in high schools, and I can vow that you see very, very little of the treasured mini-skirts that were so in vogue when I recieved my diploma. Oh, for those thrilling days of yesteryear!

In my last year of High School (1962) there was a movement by some of the girls to be allowed to wear pants on very cold days. It failed. This was in the Bible Belt. Girls were also expected to wear stockings even on very hot days.

Most girls here still seem to wear skirts,except on cold days.

One day we will all find we can wear whatever we want and it will be a world we can all live together.. hey a girl's gotta dream, aint she xx

I agree. I always loved seeing a cute girl in a dress. Though skirts have come back in, which is nice, you just dont see many dresses out there. Just imagine if it were common for females in controll to dress there submissive husbands. I mean, sometimes its so obvious when a female has emasculated her man. Society would benifit if it just realized that role reversal is common. Instead of feeling shame for not being man enough, a sissified husband could really learn to embrace the woman in himself.

But as far as the original topic, I to am bummed at the lack of dresses nowdays.

Tip: for all you dress conisuers? church, pretty dresses everywhere.

Now teenagers wear their underwear on the outside! Brittany spears picked up where Maddona left off. I collect 50's underwear. I have some (new and still in original boxes, nylon stocking with hand sewn seams.

I am a whalebone corset girl myself... who needs breathing anyway.

all those so-called GGs out there are just androgynes trying to be too macho.

When I was in high school the big thing was mini skirts with high top tennis shoes. Due to singers like Cindy Lauper. But it was cool. Also the really big hair was in at the time. I really think that for a girl who could pull it off the style was really cute but some of the girls just didn't have the body for the style and really looked kind of silly, in a mini and high tops I mean.

As for me I personally prefer tea length skirts with a nice blouse or an actual dress but I don't often find dresses on the rack that will fit me on top and bottom at the same time. There is just something about seeing a women in a tea length skirt or dress that is giving you just a peek of her legs and at the same time being so mysterious about what she is hiding. To me that is truly sexy. Of course I also like to see a nice form fitting mini from time to time as well but I don't think that I have the legs for it just yet. Have to lose a few pounds first. Then I'll give it a shot.

I attended parochial school through high school and all the girls had to wear plaid skirts. I was always so jealous and wanted my own, but it wasn't to be. Probably why I constantly got in trouble there. :confused:
But nowadays, even I tend to wear pants when at home. So much more practical, and with the right blouse they can be quite attractive.

There was a "unixex" fashion movement in the 60s that included skirts for men. It never got to first base, mainly because men wouldn't wear them.

I agree, the world was a better place when girls had to wear skirts or dresses to school every day, but our society has changed so much, that is the least of our problems. I will admit, if I were a girl, I would be relieved not to have to put on a skirt when it's ten degrees in Chicago, having done it myself. Ditto having to wear stockings when it's 90 degrees in the shade. Maybe for us, dressing is like the forbidden fruit: we aren't supposed to enjoy wearing pretty things, which only makes it more exciting. Come to think of it, maybe that's why women get a kick out of dressing up like guys...how come they can get away with it and we can't? Ask Windy (http://snurl.com/askwindy)

I don't like dresses or skirts to wear as a daily thing, but if I'm out with Tammy, the shorter the better. In the day I'm most def a trouser person and yeah I'm one of those that just has to have their thongs sticking out the back LOL :p These are my faves....

I love wearing skirts! When I was in High school, which wasn't too long ago, I saw some girls with dresses and skirts, but now it's probably rare. I was never really a dress person though, I like wearing short things, so the same goes for pants. If they make me look sexy, I'll wear them, but not much, even on cold days I'll wear skirts, I can stand the cold ;)

[Rachel Ann]

BUT now all you see on girls are pants WHAT ever happened to girls wearing skirts,blouses and a beautifull dress.
I think that they are reacting to attempts to push them in to a pink pigeonhole. Especially the High School girls. I often hear GGs wondering why we are so girly beyond the point of just trying to look like them. But dressing girly is liberating to us, and a lot of them remember it as imprisoning.
