dancingleafYour age and your fashion sense will determine your response to this question.
Way back, way, way back in the early 80's there was a brief fashion trend.........short pants, banded at the knee - usually worn with heels (at least I wore then with heels...) They were an interpretation of a dress pant.
It has taken me OVER A WEEK to remember what this style of pant was called.
Now that I can remember the NAME I can google the term. Apparently they were made popular by Leia (StarWars) and Princess Di. (1981-1983 apparently) I just know that I wore them in 8th grade and thought I was super fine. Someone had asked me what I recommended as a steampunk pant and I was thinking possibly this might work for her... but do you THINK I could remember what they were called?
of course - NOW the term knickers - refers to underwear.
So if you weren't wearing knickers, were you going commando?
(Don't know what I'm talking about? - the pants in this image here.) And yes I wore the blouse too.
