Haha, that's funny.

Cro Magnon said...

Sadly, it's absolutely true too. I think it looks better on the two grannies!

New World said...

The two grannies look like they could tell you more about life than the model. I agree, I prefer the reality of the clothes on them.

Gwil W said...

Too slim or not two slim that is the question.

Gwil W said...

The grannies saved themselves nearly three grand. And helped the environment to boot.

A good bit more of fabric in the €11.50 frocks too.

Carol Caldwell said...

That is hilarious. Love the stern expressions or are they attempts at smiles!

Tom Stephenson said...

I prefer the waistcoats.

Sue G said...

hahahah, absolutely brilliant Cro!

Jane Karwat said...

I may have had a dress like that in the 60's. Glad there are no pictures. Thanks for the laugh.

Cro Magnon said...

You can always tell when well known designers (YSL) have run out of ideas.

Cro Magnon said...

And the dresses will be passed on to the next generation of grannies too.

Cro Magnon said...

Frugl grannies; like most grannies.

Cro Magnon said...

I think they were worried that their 'souls' were being stolen.

Cro Magnon said...

Keep watching YSL's catwalk.... next year maybe.

Cro Magnon said...

Grannies lead the fashion front.

Cro Magnon said...

There's a hint of Laura Ashley in them.

Jane Karwat said...

In the winter, I wore it with a full length fur coat(my grandmother's). I'd be stoned these days. I was warm though.

The model needs a babushka to complete the look.

Cro Magnon said...

I bet she felt stupid, even if it was by YSL.

Cro Magnon said...

My sppeling nevar woz good.

In Fashion (as with so much else) there is nothing new under the sun.

The Weaver of Grass said...

Every picture tells a story - or in this case two pictures.

Cro Magnon said...

And this is the proof!

Cro Magnon said...

The world of fashion is often bizarre.

Jacqueline @ HOME said...

Haha 🤣...... I think fashion takes the piss a lot of the time .... most of us ( me included ) are taken for a ride at one time or another ! I do like a bit of fashion but on my terms. XXXX

Shawn said...

Very Laura Ashley and now very tired looking. Come to think of it, I probably looked ridiculous in my Laura Ashleys back in the day.

Joanne Noragon said...

I've found the great "designs" by the great designers rather disappointing these last several years.

Donna OShaughnessy said...

Too funny! There is also this whole "Lagenlook" thing that is so popular now, just a bunch of shapeless linen mumus all layered over each other. Wouldn't you know it, all the loose granny stuff gets popular again AFTER I lose fifty pounds.

Cro Magnon said...

I've seen some absolute horrors recently, but I don't suppose they were designed to be worn; just attract attention.

Cro Magnon said...

I thought LA was very chic when she first started, but it soon became tiresome. I think I had some of her wallpaper.

Cro Magnon said...

There's nothing 'new' to be designed; better if they simply concentrated on 'attractiveness', and forget innovation.

Cro Magnon said...

40 years ago those two grannies could be found everywhere here, now you don't see any.

potty said...

You see a few of them around here in France but I don't think they can wear the headscarfs.

Joanne Noragon said...

Yes, my favorite saying: there is nothing new under the sun.

Ruth said...

There are grannies in all our backgrounds, God bless them! Where would WE be without them. Sad we've forgotten to follow their examples.
