Vintage Polyester Haul

Soooo glad someone else my age agrees about "CROP TOPS" so frustrating to me!!! 😂 Thanks girl. I have often wanted to learn how to do pin roll curls in my hair, ladies in the older days were just absolutely gorgeous and elegant

@@thepressleygirls Katie, you look lovely in that floral print dress. Corie, in your dress you look like you could be a waitress in an old time diner. You're both so pretty you'd look great in burlap potato sacks. I love movies from the Golden Age of Hollywood, where the language is cleaner, and the clothes more beautiful than the movies they make in this day and age.

I was a teenager in the late ‘70’s when I started sewing my own clothes. I loved to sew on double knit polyester. So easy to sew on. I wouldn’t hate it if it came back in style.

[@buckydover2892]

I don't know much about clothes, but I too love stuff from the 60's and 70's. I was born in 1980, but if I could have chosen a year to be born in it would have been about 1960 so I would've got to be a child in the 60's and a teenager during the 70's. I love to collect and work on anything "vintage". Things were built so much sturdier and made to last. It's also a lot easier to get parts for things made back then as they were meant to be repaired and not thrown away. So much of the stuff made today you can't even work on yourself. Even tractors and agricultural equipment are made so that only dealers with expensive tools can troubleshoot problems, only to sell you on throwaway parts that cannot be fixed. Cars have become the same way. The days of fixing things yourself has unfortunately gone by the wayside. Sadly we have become a throwaway society for just about all of the goods that we buy. It's good to here that there are folks like y'all who have such an affinity for all things vintage, even though there are things from the modern world we would hate to be without. Loved the video. Hope y'all have a blessed day.

[@thepressleygirls]

Yes that’s exactly it! In the day you could fix things, but now everything is meant to be thrown away so you can’t even fix it, it drives me crazy! Yes the 60’s and 70’s would have been an awesome time to be alive. Thanks for watching! 🙏🥰

[@joygibson484]

You two are so sweet and cute! Our mother made my twin sister and I our entire wardrobe (dresses only) until we were 16 and started working and made our own money. Polyester was nearly everything in our closet. Those were the days!

[@darlingusa2pettee57]

Schools required girls wear dresses then and no one got to wear jeans except on special appointed days. Now I see girls wear short short (one more short) shorts every day. I hope THATS a pendulum that swings back in time. : )

Love to see others who are as crazy about old things as I am! I love going to thrift stores and antique shops and finding old clothes! There is nothing nowadays made to last that way! And certainly, as you said, MODEST! My dad always says about the holey jeans, "If you want holes, I'll cut 'em for you!" I agree, I totally could grow up anywhere from the 1910s- 1950s. So disappointed sometimes that I live in the 2020s. But then I remember that God puts everyone in the time where they work best in His beautiful plan. Needless to say, I very much enjoyed this video! So special you have so many things from your grandmother!❤️

[@65sheilakay]

Love vintage shirts. Polyester is great, won't shrink, fade. I am a seamstress. What I notice (and like)about vintage clothing is the shoulder seam is in the proper place. What Katie is wearing is a good example. It is at the very top of the shoulder. That makes it elegant and fit properly. Check some vintage silks. They have staying power. I found a Shark brand hand-held steamer thrifting.($3.99!) I use it for wrinkles for clothes, curtains, even cleaning! Sewing is not hard. Get a machine, learn how to thread it. Usually that diagram is on the machine. That way you can alter clothing too. I'm considering adding long sleeves to dresses I find. I had that track suit in green. Also everyone said matching jackets and skirts suits are out of style, but I'm not listening!

[@kimgreene9241]

The Mushroom shirt is my personal favorite. Too cute and screams 70’s.

[@noahcount7132]

There is a great deal to appreciate and admire about you girls, and one of the many things is your choice of modest, classic, vintage attire. And when you're wearing it you make it look great. Even when you're working or relaxing around home and wearing your most casual attire (feeding the chickens, tending the garden, fishing rocks out of the creek, having a picnic in the woods with your parents, practicing your instruments, or whatever you're doing), you always look good; never cheap or tawdry. Kudos to both of you for being yourselves, and not letting contemporary, fleeting and/or stupid fads and "fashion trends" influence you. That includes your noisy 1980s track suit, Katie. ;^)

[@thepressleygirls]

Thank you! 🙏🥰

[@cliffd64]

Glad you mentioned about the breathability of polyester. It truly was a 'sweatsuit' & sticky. Fun for you to wear now though. We used to say they are too LOUD. I wouldn't ever wear them. The non ironing & lack of wrinkles made it so popular. Women used to spend hours over ironing boards & hot irons. This was fun girls. Glad you enjoy them tho. 💋❤️ "Polyester power'.

Non breathable Polyester shirts, bell bottom pants and 2" sole shoes. Wish y'all could have been there, it was a fun time.

[@pat_in_va8605]

I graduated High School in '75 so all of that is right up my alley. The dress you believe was a mini dress from the sixties is definitely a 60s mini dress. Simplicity had a pattern for that dress and all of us girls had dresses made from that style. Some were in wools for winter, others in cotton prints for summer. We had tons of fashion belts to wear at the waist in bright colors, plastic rings chained together, tied belts with fringe. Total blast from the past. It was THE dress in junior high for us. The blouses were the stable of every lady's office wear. You would have solid-colored slacks, skirts, and blazers then brighten them up and show your "style" by picking fun patterns and colors for the blouses. Every girl in the 70s learned the hard way that you did not iron polyester.

[@thepressleygirls]

I love those style dresses, I want to find some more! Yes the iron doesn’t go well with polyester 😂

[@countrycluckers7644]

The saying goes: 'Style is always in fashion, but fashion is not always in style.' It is definitely refreshing to see young ladies such as yourselves speaking out about your values of modesty and other characteristics that you were taught and raised up in through your family and your lives to make the wonderful mindful women you both are today. Never loose that or compromise your values for anyone, if that situation ever arises, whomever is making you choose is of no value in your life, and cut them out. God sends us 'tests', to exercise our beliefs, faith, and morals. Remember, a beautiful gem/stone does not come out of the ground looking as beautiful as it can be, that beauty only comes after the lapidarist cuts, grinds, polishes the stone with force, grit and friction/heat. He does the same with us. We go through life with ups and downs, as He polishes us (His gems) to be as beautiful as we can be.

This video was so fun, especially the bloopers! I just really love your whole family. From watching many of your Mom's videos, I discovered that she and I were born in the same year and, interestingly, got married the same year also. So the 70s was my first decade of life. It was so groovy! (J/K, I never really talked like that.) Just a few highlights: The only polyester I remember having was my church suit, which was navy blue. I remember it as hot and scratchy, and I couldn't wait to get home and get out of it. One outfit I remember from the early 70s was a burgundy pair of corduroy pants I wore with a mustard yellow turtleneck. In the late 70s my brother had a wine-colored satin disco shirt with a little yellow half-sun sewn onto the left chest, and I thought it was so cool I wore it to school without his permission. It was not worth the butt-kicking I got. In the early 80s, terry cloth shirts became popular and I had a few of those, but they were kind of scratchy. It was like wearing a bath towel. Yikes! It was a great time to grow up, thanks for bringing back memories!

[@carlaramsey6645]

I absolutely Love you all! You remind me of me (growing up) in so many ways. I grew up in the Applachian mountains of WV and also lived in Bryson City, NC area for about 10 years. My daughter lives in Sylva, NC and I visit her regularly. I currently live in middle Ga. I just recently came across 60 years of vintage items while helping a friend clean out her Mother's house, to get rid of these items. She was definitely a shop-aholic and hoarded 60 years worth of stuff. So many clothes and lots still have the sales tag on them! There is a huge amount of dresses, skirts, slacks, scarves and accessories... and more. Also found about 20 handmade aprons, I believe are for a child. Her Mother used to sew alot so my guess is some of the clothes are handmade too. I'm saying to my friend, " the Pressley girls would love this and this and this, lol. My friend asked me " who are the Presley girls" so I had to go to the internet to introduce you all to her. Anyway, if you think you may be interested in any of this stuff you can let me know. I can send pics of the stuff. We can definitely work something out if you don't mind paying for the shipping and a very, very low price on any of the clothing. Also, I can bring items with me when I visit my daughter and we could meet somewhere local to you, there in NC. If you have any interest in any of it and would like pictures just let me know. Thanks and God Bless 😁

I graduated in 1984 From high school. I use to wear vintage clothes all the time! I had a baseball button up top like n.y. Yankees or something with the official lettering. It was thick, I remmeber and old. Probably was worth sordmthing lol I remmeber my coach loving it and was like where’d ya get that? I’d wear it with jeans to school. I didn’t care. Lol I wore green army pants like hot lips wore on mash. I had Icelandic sweaters. Everything was garage sales. There was a brand I loved though, called gunny sax. I think that’s how ya spelled it, but it was expensive and I did get a skirt that’s was blue n white floral and a white top with lace. It was like a combination of 70s and Victorian looking. Check out that brand! It was a special treat to get that new ... love your clothes Andrew what a fun video! I grew up where my daddy didn’t like me wearing short stuff, etc. modesty.

I agree, shopping now brings empty hands. You held up my favorite style. Collar and button down the front. Love polyester! Began in late '60's. I made a lot of my clothes then. Polyester was sooo easy. No ironing! And no wrinkle. I was sewing polyester blouses, pantsuits and dresses when I met my future husband in 1970. We married in 1972. I still loved polyester or polyester blend. Our first child was born in 1974 and made some of my maternity clothes. Again polyester mostly. What I loved about sewing with it was it didn't ravel when you cut it. Well that is enough about polyester. 😂😂. Enjoyed your video very much. So glad you are able to find things you like. ❤️❤️

OMGosh this was soooo fun. Pretty sure I'm somewhere around your mom's age, so this was a blast to the past. I LOVE, love, love those old, BIG collars. I think they are more flattering to virtually everybody (and rarely seen in anything off-the-rack today). Y'all mentioned sizing and how different then and now. I guess they call it 'vanity sizing'. I wore a misses 10 or junior 9/10 (rare occasion 7/8) in the 80s. Now (my size is same, except everything's more wrinkled, ha) I wear a 4-6. I absolutely love how you girls love OLD STUFF. Not surprised at all, having watched your videos. That beautiful blue/floral blouse Katie featured (showed us the photo in the car)...when I watched the car video (SWEET CAR, btw, that was the car of my dreams in high school, tell your uncle I covet that car)...I was struck by that pretty blouse and how pretty you looked in it. Didn't even realize it was vintage. Didn't mean to go on so long here, ha. Really enjoyed this, thank you girls.

I'm still close to the woman who was my high school sweetheart back in 1977 and she has a closet full of polyester clothes along with leather jackets and boots. Much of them still fit her and she wears them often and that always takes me back in time. The two of you would have fit right in.

Thanks for showing us your lovely outfits! Your Granny is so talented- that 3 piece brown suit she made is my favorite. And I like the black blouses (the ones with the same pattern, but one short sleeved and the other long). I wear mostly cotton because where I live, polyester would stick to my skin. But it'd be a perfect choice for the fall/winter. Like you, I get frustrated shopping in stores where everything's low-cut and not put together very well. I wear mostly capris pants; skirts and dresses. You girls are hilarious!! Haha! God bless!

[@thepressleygirls]

Thank you for watching! I love capris! God bless! 🙏🥰

I graduated HS in 1970. The brand I remember is Act III. My mother wore that. Polyester was really popular. Mother wore polyester pant suits and Daddy liked the comfortable leisure suits. He had to wear a uniform to work-airline pilot. When he was off work there were no ties for him😂. I had a polyester shirt dress I loved. It was paisley. Deep green with pink and purple swirls I think. Those were the days (she said, wistfully)🤗

[@thepressleygirls]

Those were great days I just know it, even those I missed it by two decades lol! Also that’s so sweet that she wore that brand! I’m sure the leisure shirts were comfy and they looked cool too!

[@anyways661]

Those polyester prints were the best!

[@charleswallen4457]

I was a teen in the 70’s also in the Marine Corp 75-79 it’s cool to see these things. Very nice! 70’s clothing were awesome. Very stylish lots of colors. I do however love the men’s suits from the 40’s and 50’s.

[@thepressleygirls]

Thank you for your service, I love those suits too!!

[@graceandglory1948]

I remember all those fabrics and fashions. I have always preferred the cotton shirtwaist dress with a full skirt. I bet you would look amazing in that!

[@thepressleygirls]

🙏🥰

[@graceandglory1948]

I have always enjoyed shopping at thrift stores and yard sales. Great way to save money and have fun at the same time. :)

[@thepressleygirls]

Yes!

[@mollygardens6646]

This brings back memories! Most of my clothes were homemade until the eighties when I was a mom of lots of little ones. I sewed some of mine and some of their clothes but less and less.

[@judyabernathy80]

Wow!! You took me straight back to the 70’s! I loved those clothes. I wore a red and white polyester knit pantsuit in the 70’s that I loved.Thanks for a very fun video!! ❣️🙏🏼♥️🙏🏼❣️

[@thepressleygirls]

Thank you!

[@Carlaskirt]

Another great video! I have several vintage pieces and love them tool

[@AClark15]

Loved this video!! It took me back to my childhood. I love the same styles. Y’all’s granny reminds me so much of my granny. She sewed and she made a lot of my clothes and all of hers.

[@christinej2358]

Oh my stars, y’all are just the sweetest young ladies. I lived my teen years through the 70’s and the polyester fashions. Lol, well y’all are hilarious, but y’all are right it had a lot of good qualities, but some draw back too. The clothes back then were definitely way better quality than they are now. I have a tendency to wear something I actually like to the point it falls apart. It’s just hard finding fashions that don’t show everything you got now days and that just ain’t me. It’s been fun going down fashion memory lane with y’all. Thank y’all for sharing!

[@thepressleygirls]

Thanks for watching! 🥰

[@1stcenturybeliever777]

I've got one of my mom's outfits from the mid 60's! A PURPLE (my favorite color) mini skirt with a matching top!! Wish I could fit into it.

[@karenbuzintx1367]

Oh girls 😊 That purple zig zag top looks like the top I wore with my purple hip hugger jeans in 1972. But I grew up in hot west Texas so I really suffered the hot polyester things and was glad for my cotton things too. Yall are so unique. You go for what you like not what the popular mags say. Stay that way. God Bless yall.

[@thepressleygirls]

Thank you, God bless! 🙏🥰

[@absolutely5376]

Y'all just took this old feller back to high school in the seventies. Platform shoes, leisure suits, and high ankle moccasins with rolled up levi's, and don't get me started on Earth Shoes. So glad to see young folks who know what "Saturday Night Fever" was. I was leaving for the Army right after the movie came out so I didn't really get into those styles. The Army really did change my dress code. I can guarantee you that the John Travolta white disco suit doesn't really fit a guy with a shaved head. LOL I love watching your videos. Looking forward to the next. Have a blessed day.

[@thepressleygirls]

Thank you for watching and for your service! 🙏🥰

[@bvdragonlady]

Very interesting that both of you love this type of clothes….I’m 69 so yes, I wore all of it…bell bottom jeans, polyester dresses, shirts & skirts….I enjoyed watching y’all swoon over the vintage…🤗🤗 I had a tracksuit just like that…lol….I loved it…zipper on legs and all….loved the giggles at the end… Brenda

[@thepressleygirls]

Thank you! 🙏🥰

[@johnnymayo8534]

Awesome & fun video!!! I'm not admitting to this....but I may have owned and worn a white leisure suit complete w/ a paisley print large collar shirt & platform shoes back in the 70's.

[@thepressleygirls]

That’s awesome!

[@brightpurpleviking]

I was a little girl in the 70s and my favorite pants were the softest navy corduroy bell bottoms with orangey red little flowers all over . I loved them so much I almost wore them every day. Then we moved from chicago to central Indiana to a snooty city with snooty schools. I got teased by the kids for wearing them so often and because it didn’t have a name brand tag. I was shamed into not wearing them that often, and I can remember the day they didn’t fit anymore. Made me so sad! Without being too long winded I had a neighbor from India about fifteen years ago. She told me that Indian women felt sorry for American women who, in general, were all wearing plain, boring clothing. She traveled to India once a year to buy her clothes and there were SO many color, pattern, texture, style options in what she brought back. It was amazing! That’s how clothes were back in the day…beautiful with colors and patterns and good quality. Thanks for sharing!! That was fun!!

[@thepressleygirls]

Awww I’m sure that those pants were beautiful! And that the other kids were just jealous! Also yes india has some very beautiful clothing!!!

[@mitchmatthews6713]

Those are million-dollar smiles! Stay safe, pretty ladies!

[@stargazer2533]

I love polyester! It's so neat looking. Never wrinkles. Lasts forever and ever!! Love those bloopers!

[@thepressleygirls]

Thank you!

[@lynnfields2191]

Love seeing y’all’s vintage clothes and the stories behind them. Just continue to follow the beat of your own drum. I enjoy your music too, it makes my heart sing.

[@thepressleygirls]

Thank you!

[@robbieevans6536]

I normally just wear my work clothes, but I have a lot of old surf and ski clothing from the 80's and 90's somewhere in my house...Day glow central...lol

[@thepressleygirls]

Hey that’s awesome!

[@TheKatherine1958]

I graduated high school in 1976. I’m 63. The style was polyester shirts, hip-hugger chords, platform shoes and gunny sax brand dresses here in California. I don’t know how you girls can know what brands were popular because all I can remember were Levi’s, Gunny Sax, bare traps (shoes). You must’ve been researching. Interesting video. Thank you.

[@thepressleygirls]

Thank you for watching and sharing! 🥰

[@kathylane5934]

I probably made alot of those shirts. I worked at shirt factory in 70s 80s. We did polyester. I made alot if polyster to wear to school in 60s and early 70. Had polyester wedding dress I made

[@thepressleygirls]

That’s so cool!

[@cweaver6792]

Oh what a great show today! I was a young gal in the 70's (jr. and high school) and had many polyester dresses, also a 3 piece navy wool suit (yes, wide bottoms). Other non polyester clothes were crinkle peasant shirts and dresses (look for Gunny Sax). Your video brought back some great memories of my clothes. Thanks!

[@thepressleygirls]

Glad we brought back good memories, thank you for watching! 🥰

[@saner6888]

Oh man you two brought me back, thanks for sharing your appreciation for the 70’s I was 8-18 yr. old in that decade and wouldn’t change a thing ! You two are genuine throwbacks and ya’ll being goofy had me laughing out loud.(I did change one thing.. mom would send me to school in a polyester dress when young and I’d ALWAYS sneak shorts or jeans to put on too so I could play at recess like I wanted to😉)

[@thepressleygirls]

That’s so funny and sweet! 😂🥰🙏

[@csnanny1882]

You girls are awesome, my daughter’s would not wear any of these clothes. You both look so cute in these dresses . I love your videos, bring them on.

[@j.w.stevenson8510]

Wow you two look amazing !

[@suemyers7685]

Polyester doesn't seem to wear out except maybe at the seams! You have some cute patterns. Neat Granny still has some pieces for you. I wore some, sewed some, and melted a couple. Definitely need a thick pressing cloth if have to touch it up. Ha! I prefer breathable cottons these days.♥️

[@thepressleygirls]

Yes breathable cotton is better but I love the polyester patterns! Thank you so much!

[@Jean-ko4xv]

Girls, I'm a one fingered typer so I don't say much, BUT oh I enjoy you's so much.You were blessed with wonderful family who knew how to raise children.You's look great in the cloths. God Bless. Jean

[@thepressleygirls]

Thank you!

[@chalonchaney5198]

Power of the polyester, lol. I enjoyed this video having a love for everything vintage especially tools and cookware for me.

[@thepressleygirls]

🙏🥰

[@johnbell9491]

Having graduated in '74 it's hard to keep from laughing listening to you gals rave on about that time! LOL! I have always thought that I should have been born in the late 1880's - there was so much going on. Love the channel.

[@thepressleygirls]

Oh wow! 1880 is a ways back there! But thank you! Yes we love those 70s 😂

[@danielward5855]

Ladies, I was born in 76, and well into the mid 80s I wore hammie downs as my mama called them. These were some of the wildest shirts with snap buttons and butterfly collars. By my teenage years I had became a rebel without a clue and decided my choice of style was 50s greaser look. My idols being Elvis and Robert michum.

[@thepressleygirls]

We had a lot of hammie downs too! I love the 60’s style too!
