By 1971 or 1972 (grade 10 for me) the pant suit was being worn by
those of us who considered ourselves very fashionable. I had several.

which my mother made in a gorgeous canary yellow crepe polyester with
wide
white collar, sort of a tunic dress, quite short, and bell bottom
pants. >>
My mother made my sister and myself matching pant suits, of a similar
style. Ours were powder blue polyester, with a lace jabot at the neck.
They were beautifully made, but polyester...blech!
I'm a few years behind the early 70s high school crowd (I was in
preschool), but I do remember one of my biggest childhood
disappointments. Mom did a lot of sewing and made me quite a number of
pantsuits. She found this fabric with Siamese cats all over it, and she
was going to make us matching outfits, with the tunic-style top with the
cat fabric and matching brown pants. But she messed up the cut on
mine--half the cats were upside down, so it never got made. I was very
bummed.
