Playsuits

[fruitsalad]

Ladies what do you think of the playsuits that are about at the moment I personally think you have to be very slim and very young to wear one

[boxtops]

Do you mean the all in one things with loose trousers, or the shorts outfits? For either, I agree - nothing worse than fat people with elastic (well, the woman I saw today in a boob tube and no bra, halfway down her bodice, took some beating :-(

My teenage granddaughter looks great in hers, but she is petite.

I am pleased that my dear wife doesn't want one.

I would look like a balloon tied with string.

LOL@ boxy.

[fruitsalad]

Yes box the all in one shorts outfit

[LoftyLottie]

I wore them back in the 60's, ha, ha. And then again in the early 70's, when I was long and willowy and I loved them. Now am not so long and more like a blooming oak tree.

[LoftyLottie]

They were popular in the 70's and you could wear a maxi skirt over the top if you so wished. I remember having a black satin one with a zip which I wore with long black patent laced up boots -

Oh to be young again!!!!

[hc4361]

Weren't they called catsuits, back in the day, Lottie?

[tonyav]

Did Emma Peel wear one in the Avengers or was that a cat suit ?.

[LoftyLottie]

Well they were playsuits in the 60's. I think catsuits had long trousers (I wore those too) I think in the early 70's they were hotpant suits. Yes Emma Peel wore them and Purdy too!!

[tonyav]

Right, that clears that up then lofty.

[jamesnan]

Totally agree!

[DTCwordfan]

as long as the zips are in the right places.......

If I were to don a playsuit I'd look like the Michelin tyre man.....
