Dressing your age

[laughing4] Good one!! [cheers]

I hope that Melanie is younger than Nancy Barrett was at the time but I suppose that dressing her so much younger could be a sign of the family's overprotectiveness
-
([pointing-up] I think so too. Although, I've noticed in a lot of period pieces that young adult women were often dressed younger than their age. It can be very disconcerting, and I'm not even a woman - but it comes across as a whole sort of patriarchal suppression thing.)

It works somewhat better in the period stories than in the contemporary ones. Hallie Stokes is clearly several years past the knee socks stage and it just does the character no favors. Too bad that Carolyn didn't take her clothes shopping.

(Believe it or not, back in the day I knew plenty of girls who wore knee socks right through their senior year in high school. I didn't see Hallie wearing them as anything strange. Same with Vicki's hair bows. Plenty of women her age and beyond wore them. What can we say, it was the '60s/'70s...)
