Whenever you see an old film, even one made as little as ten years before, you can’t help being strucked by the __1
appearance of the women taking part. Their hair styles and make-up look date; their skirts look either too long or too short__2 ;

The men taking part, on other hand, are clearly recognizable. __3

style of dress. The same cannot be said for women. Each year,a fewer so-called top designers in Paris and London lay down __7

waists will be height; hips are in and buttons are out. __10
