MANIFESTO & WARDROBE ADS - 1988

The top ad for Manifesto, 42 Whitehall Crescent, has a rather curious sales pitch.
Although referring to those who are diminutively proportioned is obviously light-hearted, it did get me wondering if their clothing by Retour, Replay, Verte Valle, Chipie and Chevignon, were actually available in small sizes?!!
You may need to click on the image to read the large version.
Next door at #40, was another boutique called Wardrobe, who also sold accessories.
Both ads are from 1988.

  1. I was surprised, when I was in Kirkcaldy, to see there still seems to be a Manifesto shop there.

    Is the Dundee one still on the go? :)
