The One Weakness of the Fashions of THE WOMEN:


the hats.
What THE WOMEN put on their heads are ESPERPENTOS=GROTESQUERIES so absurd that even in that time the reaction of the men must have been to snicker, cringe and wince.
What otherwise reputable movies and TV shows are ruined for you because of the ugly and ridiculous fashions? Many movies of the 60s are painful for me to watch because of those tall women hairdos that were imitations of the HUGE women hairdos of the 18th century.

Check out the Ascot Gavotte scene of "My Fair Lady". When the two old bags show up in the same outfit and eye each other up and down (like a spotlight...), now those are hats!
