Your Story: The Dangers of Platforms |
 |
© My husband and I all dressed up at the Sunderland Civic Centre |
The fashion was hot pants, mini dresses and skirts, pink /white platform boots and shoes. Our hair was long and straight. To Straighten my hair I used to iron it.
The men wore velvet Flared trousers, long hair and platform shoes. Fred (husband) fell off his platforms and broke his ankle twice. My favourite outfit was long bright pink platforms, with a long sleeved buttoned dress with the top three buttons fastend, with hot pants under it.

We went to Butlins and Pontins because everyone with familys went there.
