1980s To Late 1990s
From the mid-1980s through the mid-1990s girls wore Keds with leggings and oversized tee shirts, oversized sweatshirts, or oversized sweaters and slouch socks, with baby doll dresses with bike shorts with or without lace and sometimes slouch socks, as part of a cheerleading uniform with slouch socks, or in colder weather with leggings and slouch socks. They were seen being worn on television by Joanie Cunningham (played by Erin Moran) on Happy Days, Kelly Kapowski (played by Tiffani Thiessen) on Saved by the Bell, Stephanie Tanner (played by Jodie Sweetin) on Full House, many of the girls on Kids Incorporated, Samantha Micelli (played by Alyssa Milano) on Who's The Boss, Carol Seaver (played by Tracey Gold) on Growing Pains, Becca Thatcher (played by Kellie Martin) on Life Goes On, and during the first two seasons of 7th Heaven by Lucy Camden (played by Beverley Mitchell). Feature film examples include being worn by Frances "Baby" Houseman (played by Jennifer Grey) in Dirty Dancing and in 1996's Matilda worn by the title character (played by Mara Wilson).

Famous quotes containing the word late:
“Roosevelt could always keep ahead with his work, but I cannot do it, and I know it is a grievous fault, but it is too late to remedy it. The country must take me as it found me. Wasn’t it your mother who had a servant girl who said it was no use for her to try to hurry, that she was a “Sunday chil” and no “Sunday chil” could hurry? I don’t think I am a Sunday child, but I ought to have been; then I would have had an excuse for always being late.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
