1970S Clothing Parties

[hc4361]

Can anyone remember the name of the company that sold clothes in the 'at home party style' like Tupperware?
It was men's and women's clothing, children's too, and may have had the name 'Polly' in it.

I can remember the woman next door to my parents 1970's having Pippadee parties, hc4361.

[hc4361]

That's it! Many thanks, tony

[tonyav]

Your welcome, hc4361.
Most of the gals in our street used attend.

I've just been watching the new comedy drama on ITV about Ann Summer's parties and it triggered the memory

[tonyav]

Might have to see that on catch up, hc4361.

[mazie]

Is it worth a watch hc?

[hc4361]

It's quite amusing - a great cast.

[mazie]

Is it the one with Penelope Wilton in it?

[hc4361]

Yes, and Angela Griffin and that nice, large chap that played a police officer in Early Doors

[Hopkirk]

Weren't there clothes called Pretty Polly in those days as well, or am I imagining it?

[Jackdaw33]

Pretty Polly were nylon stockings but they were sold in shops.

[gness]

Is your mind on stockings and tights, Hoppy?

I was a Pippa Dee Lady for a while......lord I had fun!.... ☺

[losgigs]

Pretty Polly was a make of stockings! Brief Encounters is definitely worth watching.

[mazie]

Thanks hc. Catch up for me tomorrow x

[tonyav]

Ah yes, loved the 70's.

Very sad that Pretty Polly went into administration this year, with the loss of 350 jobs
