Although I'm way too young to know anything about the 50's, 60's, 70's, I do recall watching sitcoms and television back from the 80's and 90's while growing up.
I would've loved to grow up as a teenager during a time when so many women were wearing pantyhose and heels. So in a sense, it would have definitely been interesting to CD back then!
At the same time, being a teenager of the 21st century, I've learned to have an appreciation for yoga pants and leggings as well! Definitely the advent of technology has made shopping for girl clothes much more accessible nowadays which is a definite plus! Along with the fact that society is growing towards being more open minded and accepting, making it much easier to CD in public.
Just be happy that you got the chance to grow up at all lol, regardless of what time period
