And I admit I laughed harder about it yesterday afternoon than maybe I would have other times but I guess I am a little punchy from all the grading and from wondering about how I'm going to do the Tetris-block thing with the different research projects I have going plus my summer teaching, but:
This is pretty weird.
I leave it as an Exercise to the Reader to figure out what kind of dance she's doing. I've had other people suggest it's go-go dancing, or one person suggest it's a not-very-good version of The Jerk.
Also: note the size. A 16, at least in ready-to-wear, does not have a waist of 29 any more, it's bigger. Although these sizes are "new" as of 1972 or whenever the pattern came out; my mother has some older patterns in a "size 10" that are closer to today's size 6.
I'll also note: Personally, I think that outfit would have been more flattering in a different color/print but maybe that was what was "in" then.

That is pretty weird! Also fairly cool. I have a ton of patterns from that era (purchased in said era) and now I really want to run home and possibly catch any of them doing the frug. The Locomotive? The Hustle?
