Warning: the following link may cause serious flashbacks to the era of disco, leisure suits, and polyester:

The 1977 JC Penney catalogue.

And oh, kiddies - there's some naughty language in the link, but it's entirely appropriate to the clothing and interior design that were evidently Da Bomb thirty years ago.

Aaah!! Those bathroom rugs - my mother-inlaw just threw a set like that out 2 years ago (at our insistence). They were blue, but still ugly as hell...

Out of all the clothes, sad to say, I think the bathing suits are probably the least cringe-worthy. Come to think of it, the pattern closely resembles an ugly dress that Stacy tried to foist upon a nice 'casual clothes' girl last night on "what not to wear".

Funny thing about the coveralls, I remember them being in ads, but apart from guys working on cars, I don't think I ever recall actually seeing anyone wear them for everyday. Except maybe Mr. Roper, on Three's Company. *snort*

And I once had one of those western-style tops. It was calico flowery, with shiny white snaps. I wore it with my navy courderoy bell-bottoms.

Now confess - what god-awful things did you wear in '77?? *grin*

A lime green double knit polyester pantsuit. I did NOT take it to college.

Ooh - did it have a vest? And bell-bottoms?

I always wanted a pants suit with the long sweater/vest thing like Maude used to wear, but mom said that that was too old for me (both the clothes and the show). Maybe I knew, even way back then, that one day I'd have hips and thighs that needed covering up??

*grin*

A wedding dress!!!!!

I can't believe it is thirty years ago this December.

30 years ago - damn, it sounds like such a long time when phrased like that. Are you still married? If so, then congrats - that's quite an accomplishment these days.

*wants to see that 70's wedding dress*

I was just a wee young child of 11 in '77. *grin* It's so nice to feel like one of the younger set for once, as so many here on LJ are younger than me...
