AN INTERESTING BIT OF HISTORY!

"Here is a collage (click picture) of |

This
was an exhibition about fashion and lifestyle in Chemnitz (Karl-Marx-Stadt
from 1953 through 1990), and the GDR (East Germany) of the fifties.
Blauhemd was the blue shirt-waist of the Free German Youth, the socialist
youth organization.
The images are showing the official poster of the exhibition, a fashion
magazine of the fifties
including pattern sheet, a folded original children petticoat and a record
player named Petti.
In the GDR we had two petticoat eras: the first for adult women and girls
began in the late fifties
and ended in 1963, the second was in the mid sixties, for girls only.
The girls wore frothy nylon petticoats beneath pleated and checkered skirts.
(ED:
Hmm...something good about communism?).
To watch their bouncy movements was extremely exciting when the girls were
walking or jumping
on the street or in the classroom."
