I think people are experiencing some selectively flattering memories/conception of the 70s:

http://www.metv.com/stories/11-extremely-seventies-pages-from-the-1975-sears-catalog

Okay, seriously, I actually think the 70s had a lot of cuts that were really flattering for both men and women, although the colors and a lot of the fabrics were terrible (I confess I do like corduroy, though) and they really needed to reign in the collars. I love boot-cut jeans but not extreme bellbottoms.

I find women's fashions from the 1910s, 1920s, and 1950s nice to look at, but I'm glad I don't have to dress like that, since I'm too skinny to pull off 1910s and 1950s and not skinny enough for 1920s. Those decades went for relatively extreme body types, which is why the fashions have an aesthetic appeal, but don't flatter a lot of bodies (and didn't at the timne, either).

God bless you for providing documentation on how godawful the 70s really were. These kids today think it was "That time when men wore tight pants." They don't know the horror. The plaid horror.
