The Golden Era's *ugliest* clothes

[Amy Jeanne]

Divine's neckline is ok, though. I REALLY hate that neckline on the pattern *yucky*

When I was younger and we visited my grandma, I'd always get out my mom's old case of Barbies and the accompanying well-made vintage Barbie clothes, and there was one dress in particular just like Divine's but in green, and even as a child I remember wondering how anyone could possibly walk in such a dress.
It does hug Divine's curves very nicely, though. Color me impressed.

I watched Pink Flamingos again recently (why, oh, why did I do that?) and I seem to remember it being knit or maybe just a woven with lycra.

fftopic: Maybe it's time for me to go back and watch a few of John Waters films - don't think I've seen any besides Hairspray since college. All I remember from Pink Flamingos is THAT scene...(sorry, everyone). And, well, that dress. Can you see the similarities?

Honestly, I don't recommend it. I had planned to see all his older movies again because my husband hadn't seen them. We could barely get through Pink Flamingos and I crossed the rest off my to-watch list.

Little Red Riding Hood Lost In The Woods?

I don't think so!

 

[Gracie Lee]

Great lips, but it looks like she's channeling the Tin Man with that hat!

 

[SayCici]

I totally think those pointy hats are cute, haha, especially 30s ones.

I thought it looked like the top of a furry umbrella.

No joy, anyhow - for some reason the '70's ones don't seem to be rentable over here. Should I look upon that as a blessing?!

I made a dress like this for my friends 18th! All in black.

Wasn't too shabby for a few hours effort.

 

[Amy Jeanne]

Outfit is ok, but WTH is on her head? Kay, you missed on this one! lol

 

[swinggal]

Wow! That's just ridiculous! Makes her look like a Bison!

 

[exquisitebones]

AH!!! What is the purpose of that GIANT hat. my goodness.

 

[Lady Day]

Im sure it was better in theory?
