	Also the tafetta petticoats which made your skirt or dress stand out. I also remember the plastic jelly shoes/sandals I'm sure were bought from Woollies. The 3 of us had a different colour pair so we wouldn't get them mixed up.

	Sande, plimpsoles or gym shoe to others!!! Yes remember the dreaded navy knickers with the pocket for a hanky. who'd want to have to fish under a skirt for a hanky? Also remember the horrible liberty bodice. Long socks with garters to keep them up! 'pixie' hoods, which my Mum used to knit!!! Ann Glos
