YES! YES! – especially to swing dancing and Thirties fashions. Except for those silly overdone shoulders you see in the old movies, Thirties fashions were about the last ones which were any use to women who look like women and not like underfed adolescent boys.

I would like to add a PS to the above. Back then drug were something you got at the drug store with a prescription from the doctor when you were ill or read about in a book related to the servicemen that got hooked on morphine while injured in WW2.

You mention the 60-80`s and 20-40`s What about the 50`s. I remember the carry over zoot suits from the 40`s draped pants on the guys. Tight in the butt 36 inch knees and 10-12 inch cuffs and blue jeans folded up just so to reveal white socks and polished black shoes. Great times with the introduction of ROCK AND ROLL to the world with the theme song from Black Board Jungle, Rock Around The Clock by Bill Haley and The Comets. I would go back to those times in a hurry if I had the chance. We did not have near what everyone has today but they were gentler times with none of the PC crap we have today and people seemed to care a lot more.
