Bonnie Parker's skirts were much straighter than ours, which were either tiered or gathered and very full. I remember these skirts when I was still in high school, before the film came out. My recollection, as a teenager in the English Midlands, is that "maxi" (i.e. > calf-length) skirts came in with the film "Bonnie & Clyde" in 1967-8. -- Carolyn Kayta Barrows -- The future is already here, it is just unevenly distributed. -William Gibson -- _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
