Those are great, but you can't beat a big collar on a cuffed leg jumper.....  and of course, the crochet and knitted shorts and suits are awesome!!!  gotta love that he can still pee if he needs to!!!  but all bets are off if he has to poop!!!!  Cindy This screams Laura Ashley. My DD loved those expensive outfits, they were all the rage. |

I bet you have a picture of that somewhere and you'd like to scan it and share it with the peas!  |

I remember selling those hideous things when I worked retail in the early 90s. We sold craploads of them!!! And, yes, Laura Ashley was HUGE then. |

AAAARRRGGHHHH! The crocheted granny square! My two sisters, my brother, and I, have our school pictures from one year all wearing something my grandmother called "a shrink". It was one large granny square on the front, one on the back, and they were crocheted together on the sides and had those same kinds of buttoned straps as the pattern above. Kind of like a little vest. Over the top of matching turtlenecks! And she even stitched our initials in the center of the granny square front. I thank you for bringing back this lovely memory that I have tried hard to suppress. oh, you simply MUST scan the pictures from the year book and share with us! |

I made mine too Basket1lady - I loved Laura Ashley back in the day. So scary to look at the pictures now. I had a couple of Shrinks, Johna, I had forgotten all about them. Thankfully it was before the digital age so there are no pictures! |

Is that a covered wagon that red sweater dude is leaning against and if it is why? Yeah. I can't get past that. Lisa D. |

My daughter had some of the Laura Ashley type jumpsuits. But she was about four at the time.  Shoot me if you must, but I think the baby outfit is cute.

I wore Laura Ashley in the mid 80s, and probably into the early 90s. It was just that awesome.  |

We had neighbors in the '80s who named their girls Laura and Ashley.

Laura Ashley was all the rage in my neck of the woods then (Orange County, CA) and we wore our lovely dresses with hair bands or big bows to hold our pony tails. I need to check my sorority scrapbook. I'm sure most of our occasions probably looked like tea parties |
