What’s old is new again? Or relegated to Halloween costume bin?

For fun. Found a Sears brochure, Fall 1990. Clothes made in the USA.

I do not have any in my closet.

I recently spotted a sheep sweater at Nordstrom. THE sheep sweater! Made by the same maker as the sweater made famous by Princess Diana. I am no princess or beauty queen, but it had to go home with me. I get so many compliments on it, even though the youngsters can’t tell without googling who made the sweater so famous.

Anyone else have a Belle France dress hanging in their closet? I have the one I wore to my 20th HS reunion. It was a very expensive dress at the time, and I really loved it.

Also have a black sculptured velvet tea length dress. Worn to a black tie event also in the ‘80s.

Both dresses are the same style…drop princess waist, 3/4 length sleeves. And I don’t think we ate anything for a week after I bought each dress because I’m sure they both cost way above my usual clothes budget at the time.

@BunsenBurner S has a sheep sweater, I believe he bought it when he lived in London several years ago. He gets numerous compliments when he wears it.

This is the classic one (Nordstrom quickly sold out of the cotton one) :

Oh I totally would have rocked this dress, after I used the hot rollers on my hair and found some No Nonsense black hose.

This is mine. I love it. It is a Macy’s knockoff I got many years ago but it’s such fun.

I loved Belle France dresses. Fortunately I lived near some discount clothing place that sold them at a more reasonable price. BF had a maternity line and I had a beautiful blue dress that got me through all sorts of holidays and events when I was pregnant.
