Fanatstic video as always Liz. I went down to London in the late 60's with my father who was visiting his tailor. I was wearing capri pants, white ones because it was summer, After my Father's fitting he wanted to take me to Claridges for afternoon tea and I was refused entry because I was improperly dressed. I have 3 pairs of capri pants (red, black and white) that I bought when we lived in France. They're a staple of every French woman's summer wardrobe especially if she's a stay at home Mum.

Really?? It happened to you too? From today‘s perspective it’s unbelievable!

@@PinkLookbook I know it sounds really bizarre but they had very strict dress codes then. They've relaxed them now, thankfully. So, anyway we got in a cab and went to the Dorchester who had similar dress codes. However when my father told them what had happened they let us have a table and we had a somewhat late but very delicious afternoon tea. I can remember it as clearly as if it was yesterday. My father never went to Claridges again, neither did I.

As far as i remember, capri pants stsrted in esrly 1960's and i remember msry tyler moore wore them in the dick van dyke show. They ended st the ankle,,never mid calf.mid calf pants were for summer and were pedal pushers. I am 86 and this was my. Era

Thanks for your comment. There were different interpretations of them, they started by ending at the ankle and then they also were cropped shorter. The picture of Erni Mangold is from 1949y Mary Tyler Moore played a huge part in making them popular.

Thank you for this video/information I did not know this. However I LOVE Capri pants. Especially those that have the zipper in the back With the"big butt movement" I don´t understand why that isn't a standard.Thanks again and good luck with everything

to comment @diankreczmer6595's comments: Sonja de Lennart's creations became popular through Audrey Hepburn's movies Roman Holiday (1953) and Sabrina (1854). You say you are 86 years old, that means you were seven years old at the time (in 1945, the year of the invention of the Capri Pants), this in regard to your Era.
