Everything about this new style has appeal.  Especially its long and "leanish" lines that de-accentuate the shoulders and hips--aided and abetted by seam-surging and a one-piece back.  Its dapper collar is a cute little trick .. the single pocket adequate ... natty 1-1/2" cuffs at the hem for a "shorts" look ... and its full, looped belt has a rustproof buckle.  Innerbrief attached at the hem for modesty in every stretch, stoop or bend. Snaps for speedy changes.  Style A8-66 -- One-piece Suit with attached innerbrief, all in Sanforized Gymcloth. Seafoam, Scarlet, Swing Blue and White. Misses' and Diminutives' sizes. $4.00.

Who can forget?  I must have been traumatized by it because I’ve been obsessed with finding a picture of those ugly things so I can show my younger friends and my daughter exactly what a gym suit was!  After much research (I know… “get a life”), I finally found a worthy picture and description of a vintage gym suit.  Enjoy and rejoice that girls are no longer burdened with these!

Linda E-mailed this picture to me earlier because friends at work didn't believe me when I told them what the uniforms looked like.  But this picture doesn't really do it justice.  Does anybody have a photo of a real person in one of these?

I would have put this on the website, but am having trouble with my connections.  Here is my story from last weekend: 

When I go home now, Mom always has something for me to bring back to my

home.  Last weekend it was a trunk with some very old clothing of my

grandmother's and prom dresses etc.  When I got to the bottom of the

trunk, there was my GYM SUIT !!!  I'm keeping it for the next reunion.

We may have to start a museum.

Post this on the website if you want.  Happy May Day.
