I look absolutely horrible in both jumpsuits and farmer-style overalls,
so have never worn either style. Pity, because farmer overalls can be
cute, though I've never liked jumpsuits.

I wore gauchos for my modeling portfolio in 1977 and my husband bought me a red
corduroy knicker jumpsuit in 1982. Still have both of them.

Tongue stuck firmly in cheek:
It never changes. Some guy (Charles Worth, for example) decides we all need
to wear hoop skirts (for example) and we all follow along. I bet it's been
going on since Mankind first started wearing clothes. And I don't mean only
women who follow fashion slavishly; men are right in there too. We finally
figure it out, Terry figured it out once she got out of high school. It
takes other people decades to realize that the most up to date fashion
isn't always the one for them. I love people!
And what would we costumers do if no one followed fashion? How could we
tell an 1875 bonnet from an 1885 one?

Hey, be loud and proud about your sartorial choices. I had two pairs of
knickers I got in my last year or two of high school--'81 or '82--the kind
with the band just below the knee. One pair was a tasteful tweed. The
other was lilac corduroy that I wore with cream colored socks and lavender
shoes. I actually had two pairs of lavender shoes, but only one pair was
deemed dressy enough for the knickers. After that, I stopped following
fads...

Yes, I did mean the 1980s and "capri" is another one, Cynthia! And Carol
may be right, where my memories blended '70s with the '80s...but I do
distinctly remember asking Mom to take me shopping for a pair of knickers,
pants that came to a gather just below the knee, during my childhood.
Honestly, it's something I'd rather not admit to so I'll trust you all to
keep it a secret! ;)
