That top one strikes me as kind of creepy, with the little girl unzipping her pj leg. What sort of pedophile thought that up?
ReplyDeleteYou know that 60s beach cover up with the elasticized hem is going to creep right up to her waist.
Is it wrong that I want the Missouri River one?
The little girl photos are designed to show how to put on ant take off the garment. I think it is just as likely or likelier that it didn't even occur to the person who thought it up that the photos could be taken as having a sexual connotation.
Deletethe zipper was for changing the kid's diapers. How pedophiles came into it I don't know. It certainly is a lot easier than unzipping the whole thing off then changing the diaper , especially at 3 am.

Number 3 was a sixties design from the American designer who also created the first no-bra bra made from a glistening see through knit (came with matching bikini.) The dress really was the Million Dollar Dress as they were everywhere in the mid-60s in loud Gucci style prints, then ugly bargain basement prints, in the 'new' polyester knits that were comfortable to wear and didn't wrinkle. An original cost a lot of money back then (an now, if you can find one.)
