1960's "New Idea": The Inflatable Petticoat!!!

I bought the 1961 Annual supplement to the World Book Encyclopedia at a resale shop a few months ago for 70 cents--you know, just because it was there. When I started thumbing through it, I came across these photos and just had to send them out to all of you.
Enjoy!

Those are so cute! I would totally rock one...I can think of so many fun ways to wear one.

Thanks again for adding the button, it looks fantastic on your page!

I have those images in color. Drop an email if you'd like them.

I had one. But, when you sat down, it would flare up and show your underwear. After awhile it lost its round shape and went out to the sides. Looked stupid.
