#108

Style: Vogue Couturier Design - Pucci 2113

Era: 1960s 

Size: 12

Would I have bought it? A world of no!

First thoughts: What is that pose? How was this the best photo? I want to see what didn't make the cut. Moving on to the dress, its, yeah...going to be deeply unflattering on me. High neck, no sleeves, acres of material. I'll be using the £1 a metre Walthamstow special for this.

Difficulty: Medium

#109

Style: Simplicity 5297

Era: 1972

Size: 16

Would I have bought it? Oh dear lord.

First thoughts: What happened to fashion in this era? This is such a deeply unflattering ensemble, I actually can't see any redeeming features. To my shame I am now remembering being 11 and thinking that waistcoats were the very height of cool. And wishing that my parents would buy all my clothes from Tammy girl. I also  though leggings and jazzy sweatshirts ala Bill Cosby were flattering. 

Difficulty: Medium / Hard
