Re: What's up with the new dress selection at Target...

Is this in the costume section? I think prairie dresses can be really cute but these are pretty shapeless and sad looking. 

@SilleeMee I sold the ones I had and made good money though part of me wishes I had kept them.

Re: What's up with the new dress selection at Target...

Well, some of the younger women may wear them and manage to make them look retro and cool. I never liked them in 1970s because they were too much fabric everywhere.  What I did have a collection of was the Sizzler dresses with matching bikini undergarment.  Mind you I am 5'11" and alllllll leg and my dad would always comment, "You going out like that? It's a shirt, where's the bottom?" I would tell him they are under the dress!!!  He would just shake his head.

About 15 years ago, I stayed with a friend who lived in Kingman, AZ when I was moving from WA to Tucson & waiting for my house to close down here.   We'd go shopping at Walmart & some of the FLDS women & girls from Colorado City, AZ  would come down to shop in Kingman & they wore outfits that looked more like the ones at Target than these.  Really drab looking dresses, not pastel like these.

Gee, I had forgotten about Gunne Sax dresses.

 

Gee (again), I kind of like the ones pictured (at Target).  Can wear with some sort of belt, maybe.

@missy mouse 

         That was exactly my first thought when I saw those dresses.

           I thought that they may have been designed by someone

who had escaped that cult.

@aubnwa01: About 7 years ago DH and I were at a Kmart in Glendale,AZ. We had just gotten into are car when about 5 women from the FLDS church walked into the store. My jaw dropped as I have never in my life seen them before. But you are right they did have dresses on that look like the ones Target is selling.Woman Happy

  Look at all the know-how in there!

Look at the collar, the shoulder, cuff, waistline, ruffled hem. Probably buttons in the back, too.

 

It's like a 7th grade home-ec final exam dress.
