I still wear the Multiples I bought in the 80s The colors are still vivid and best of all the elastic is like new. I am retired now but wore these for work for 15 years. When the Bon Marche closed them out I bought even more! I even have the video tape. They are wiorderful!!!!!

I worked my way through college and sold Multiples in Macys...I made thousands and thousands of dollars!!It was INSANE how popular they were...for just a while! Have'nt heard a thing about them in years. Fun memory though!

I was in high school when I found a Units store in the mall. I loved the simplicity and solid colors and how everything matched everything. I bought as much as I could afford. Then 15 years later, I met a woman who sold Multiples and I bought those too. I didn't know they were from the same designer, but they were obviously the same style. I still have the pants, bandeaus, tops, ties, skirts and dusters. None of them have worn out. I wish they'd bring them back! leah88@gmail.com

It is unfortunate that Multiples/Units went by the way side. Just last week I was hand washing a Multiples a-line skirt that still looks as new as the day I bought it. I still have a navy blue dress that I still get complements on. Multiples/Units were truly the best thing since sliced Wonder bread. No matter how big or how small I have gotten, Multiples stayed by my side.

We were reminiscing about out Multiples outfits when we were kids... anyone have pictures of any of the clothes? Please post if you do!!

I am finding Multiples at Von Maur Department stores in the Chicago suburbs. The logo is the same and the quality looks to be very nice.

My first "real" job out of MSU was a co-assistant manager of the first Units store to open in Michigan. What a hoot! I only stayed for 1/2 a year but remember those days vividly. I tend to keep clothes forever so it surprises me that I don't still have at least a few pieces stored in the back of my closet. I remember my heather grey mock turtle-neck and straight skirt. I loved that outfit!

I have packages and packages of these clothes. Some still in the original pkg. I bought as many of these as I could back in the mid 80's early 90's. I loved these but barely wore them. I was always "saving" them for good. They have been stored in a box window seat all this time. I must have thousands of dollars in Multiples! with a few Units too. Multiples were the best quality jersey! Didn't fade, pill or wear out! And great for travel. I'm thinking of opening an EBay store for these.

weren't these the pieces that were convertable too? Like the shirt would have such huge arms that you could wear it as a shirt with the cuffs scrunched up & ruched at your wrists or, alternatively, turn it upside down, put your legs into the sleeves, pull it up & cinch at the waist with oh, I don't know, a sleeveless tank that also served as a scarf/tie/belt? ?? :-) I may be 'stretching' it a bit much, but I thought they were sort of 'convertible' or somthing.

I adored Units and kept one of the shirts for years and years. I wish I had those clothes again, they were so comfortable and versatile. Yes, they had some convertible aspects but not so extreme like shirt to pants.

I'll post a picture of me in my out fit as soon as I can complete it! Its a green and black stripe long sleeve top with green pants with black polka dots! How 80's is that! I wore it every St Paddys day for 11 years! vilntlv@aol.com

My daughter is going to an 80's party this weekend- i wish i could find her a multiples outfit (new) for her to wear-macy's had a whole dept for these things back then

I am interested in a picture of "Units". My sister has a STRONG desire to purchase some! Anyone willing to sell please email me with "units" in the subject line. Thanks!

I just found a brochure from Units that shows all the pieces, and how to put them all together! I love seeing how "cool" we thought we were!

Someone please post some pictures, or at least put the video on YouTube!!

I loved Units - still have a couple of skirts and tops. Her pants were the most comfortable pants I've ever worn - wish they were available again.

To karen tirio - I am attending an 80s party next month and WOULD love to buy some Units from you. The girls would just die. Please post more information if you wish to sell as stated in your post!!

i just love these things!! i wore mine out! the one i think i have left is in sad shape. i wish she would bring them back or at least start her own web store of them!! i just wish i could find a pattern or two of them, or maybe buy a few so i could take them apart and used them for patterns. i think i ma still have the jumper in some box some where. i am going to have to start digging soon. if anyone has any they would like to sell please contact me! magickmamalj@hotmail.com i will take used ones as long as they are good enough shape to use as patterns. i will even sew some new ones for you if you like.

OMG - the memories this brings back. I wore Units to work every day. Big hair, big shoulders pads, and those great belts you could also wear in your hair. I would put on my Cyndi Lauper boots and out the door to conquer the world!
