Those are not polyester, bell bottom jumpsuits.

Those are fabrics like rayon, cotton, cotton blends, etc and are loose to baggy romper type outfits. [/quote]

You didn't say "No one was wearing polyester [i]bell bottom[/i] jumpsuits in the 80s."

You're changing the goalposts, which is fine, but that is in part why people were disagreeing with you. First it was "nobody," then it was "they were only cotton rompers," and now it's "well, not double-knit polyester bell bottoms."

The Streisand Emmy jumpsuit was auctioned off as, you guessed it, a "jumpsuit." It is not cotton or rayon. Rayon is a lightweight fabric. It was  embellished polyester.

I mean, there are others. There are also second-hand sales and estate auctions with provenance and tags visible, as with the Streisand jumpsuit. And there are other stills from TV shows, like Yuri from [i]Greatest American Hero [/i](1982): dark bronze jumpsuit over bright yellow turtleneck. Other movies. Other home pictures people have posted on flashback sites.

It wasn't everyone, but there were people wearing things they called "jumpsuits" made of "100% polyester." I know -- I was there. :)[/quote]
