Mine is one of them!
I was one of those that was distracted! Cannot remember why, possibly a micro mini, knowing me, certainly a distraction of that ilk!

Is there signs of 'the broadie buckle at the back' disease in 1969?

I've been looking at the photo and trying to remember the fashion of the time, it was girdle 6 or more inches below the bottom button and the broadie at the side. It looks like they're at the back, but I'm sure we didn't even consider that as an option then.John Knight wrote:Looking at the photograph...

I seem to remember my buckle usually being somewhere between 60-100 degrees east, depending on mood (not in my first year, of course.) Is there a standard way to wear the girdle (i.e. set out in school rules)? And if there is, does anyone seriously expect all of the teenage students to abide by it? And how do you enforce it? And would we really want them not to find some way to express their individuality?
Sorry, John & John, I can't agree!
