The most embarrassing things you ever wore...

[Dimples]

Inspired by Aziz's confession about his sparkly trouser suit in his avatar pic, here is where you must describe your most embarrassing fashion faux-pas.

As someone who was a child in the 60s and 70s, I know a thing or two about fashion victimhood. Without a shadow of a doubt, the worst thing I was ever given to wear was a gift from an aunt in Canada. It was a green T-shirt, with a printed photo-picture of a little girl and boy, hugging each other on a bridge over a river. As if that wasn't bad enough, she sent a pair of citrus yellow polyester trousers to go with it.

It took years to get over that trauma.

Over to you...

My very own, MC Hammer trousers! Thought I looked quite good in them too..............thankfully there are no incriminating pictures!

In the New Romantic era, I wore black pedal pushers with lace round the bottom, a yellow shirt with lace round the neck, cream leather ballet slippers with ribbons all criss crossed up my calves, a yellow BANDANA round my waist and an another yellow BANDANA round my forehead.



I thought I was lovely too!

I had a pair of flared neon green jeans with blue flowers on, I thought they were amazing and I pretty much wore them til they fell apart. And when they did I got a pair of orange check trousers with daisys on to replace them

I lost a bet and had to wear an Arsenal shirt for a day

I can remember hopping out of bed half dazed just after an operation to visit the RVS shop not realising my arse was still hanging out.

So more "not wore" than "wore" then?

There were 18 months between me and one of my sisters and we looked like twins. I remember a neighbour of ours used to make clothes and my mum commissioned her to make us both a pink woollen suit. The jacket had long sleeves and a rigid collar and the skirt came to below the knee. My mum accessorised these monstrosities with brown zip up ankle boots. Looking at the old photographs you can see the dismay in our eyes.

I much preferred my first pair of hotpants, which my elder cousin passed on to me, adjusted and customised. I felt so grown up.

Oh my.... When was this, Cleopatra?

Looking back, the Bros style Black leather jacket that I used to love in the 80's probably wasn't my greatest ever fashion statement.

Why do they do that to you - give you a gown with no back - is it to stop you escaping?

Bros? Now there's an admission.

I had some MC Hammer trousers too, must have been around '91 '92?

The early 90's had some awful fashions! Highlights from my wardrobe include a fuchsia shell suit, flowery dungarees that were worn with a hooded top with the om symbol on it and the piece de resistance - a neon yellow striped crop top, short skirt and cycling shorts combo

It's so they can whip it off you in theatre!
Did they not give you some paper pants to wear?

No pants - though I did get some nice elasticated stockings.
