Season 3 Summary

Some early hints what the trend line, or in this case hemline also, was: up! Maureen McCormick wore what looked to be nude, perhaps off-suntan (or poor quality brand), pantyhose during most of this season, but in episode 21 donned some wonderful off-black pantyhose, then wore better quality suntan pantyhose, the best episode #23 for the latter in that regard, setting the stage for continued “exploration” into hosiery in the series’ fourth and fifth seasons.

Season 5 Summary

Representative of fashion this year, the hemlines dropped :( - except what is found in episode 17 :) Pants were also more common.
