Mine wasn't "in" fashion even in my era. Girls had already started wearing those nightgowns masquerading as formalwear that, surprisingly, are still in style today. Saw a prom album my nephew was tagged in on FB, and other than color, the girls appeared to be wearing almost the same gown. Boooooring. Now, the 80's.... those were some freaking prom gowns!
While I am still in posession of the gown below, I'm about 3 sizes too big for it.... alas.
Maybe I'll wear it anyway, unzipped, and pinned to unattractive undergarments :P
