Stay away from the crochet jumpsuits....


So here are two jumpsuit crochet patterns which I inherited from my Grandma.
The caption for this first one is: "So you're a girl and you don't mind who knows it. You wear these "V" neck culottes with their front zipper opening. All over shell stitch with d.c. edging"
I'm not sure which is more disturbing - the pattern, the caption or the blatant refusal to mention the word "jumpsuit"! "Culottes"? Hmm. Denial! Not just a river in Egypt you know!
But it get's worse. The caption here reads: "No man minds a woman wearing the pants when they're like this! Clingy pants suit with alternating bands of delicate pattern. High-neck, no sleeves." And no gap between the top and the bottom which means it's a jumpsuit guys!!! I'm actually warming to this pattern...no really...I kind of like them/it whatever you would call it!

 And for the knitters: Ledenhosen!
Nice.

And for sentimental (and comic) reasons - my twins in the matching crochet overalls Aunty Margaret made for them. We used to call them their wrestling outfits!

 Pepper can't even bear to look!
Is it a crochet throw on the couch? No! It's twins in matching crochet overalls of course!
Pepper still can't believe she is wearing them...

Too cute.

Okay. So let's not ever mention crochet onesies ever again!

    those overalls are super cute but not very practical.
    A great pic for the 'pinboard of memories' at the 21st birthday party!

      Yes they were not very practical - and as for the 21st, there's even a video of them tussling on the couch wearing these!

      So funny watching them trying to climb up to the back of the couch and slipping from the overalls and falling down on top each other over and over again. Too much slapstick!

    You would totally rock those hotpants! Or modify the twins overalls idea and voila- Granny Hotpants!

    Unlike the twins, the woman wearing the "clingy pantsuit" looks pretty pleased with herself and I agree that it's actually not unappealing. Your aunty Margaret is hilarious! Too cute.

    Hi Julianne! I love this post. Great pics and captions. Hard to imagine they got away with some of the things in captions back then! I am truly partial to a cool 70's jumpsuit - but perhaps not a crochet one. Your twins are just the cutest things I have ever seen. And in those little onesies - they are so adorable!! Hope you've had a great week. Was so great to see your pics over on Kylies blog. x
