[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nobody wore that kind of clothing in 1983, and I was a teenager then. The style you've posted looks like the early 1970s. Looks at the woman's hair; typical early '70s long with a hint of bouffant and a center part. Partridge Family clothes all the way.

The early '80s was all about looking punk, or like Princess Diana. This is not that. And polyester has always been around.

Once again and I mean no disrespect, high schoolers are only a representative of 5 years (14, 15, 16, 17, 18) out of the total human population.[/quote]

The grownups tried to dress like Dynasty, the Cosby family, Elise from Family Ties, or Princess Di.

[b]No one was wearing polyester jumpsuits in the 80s.[/b][/quote]

Yeah, they were.

Plus all those people in small town middle America keeping Sear's and JC Penny alive. :)[/quote]

Those were called rompers.

They were loose fitting and cotton. Not polyester.[/quote]
