Jumpsuits, 1970 Style (Lana Lobell, Holiday 1970

 A while ago I wrote a post about Lana Lobell's jumpsuits from 1979.  Recently, flicking through another Lana Lobell catalogue from the beginning of the decade, I discovered—yes!—more jumpsuits.  Made of acetate rather than polyester, and sporting wide, wide legs and funky zips, these jumpsuits are groovy garments from the pre-disco era.

But why waste time writing about them, when I can share the fantastic images and the zowie-wowie! prose from "Lana Lobell" itself? 


On the right in Acetate knit:
LICORICE-SLICKED ZIPPER taking the diagonal route to flattery on one of the most extraordinary jumpsuits we've seen all year!  One dazzling fashion leap from the jet-buttoned stand-up collar to the widest longest legs...


A GOLDEN-GLOW JUMPSUIT of beauty-bonded Acetate Metallic—nothing's more exciting, more glamorous!  Coachman shaped with generous collar and doubled buttons—one truly spectacular line way down to those wider-than-wide legs—incredible flattery from top to toe!


More Acetate—this time Acetate Jersey knit:
SNAKY SLIMLINER lining up all your assets from the convertible turtle-or-wing collar to the superb front zip to that luscious leg action below!


More Acetate Knits:
JUMP FOR JOY—this is the jumpsuit of the year.  Two shape-making contrast zippers sleeked from legs to that great 70's collar, creating a look that's totally new, totally exciting, totally flattering!
(Zips seem to be a theme for 1970, rating a special mention in three out five jumpsuits in this catalogue!)


Finally, for party-going, in sparkling Acetate Metallic:
MOONGLOW GLITTER in a truly mind-stopping jumpsuit!  V'd above, elastic cuffed at blowy long sleeves—its elastic-shirred waistline defining yours as never before!
