These pantsuits were made for dancing

Pantssuits like these became popular in the late 1960s, so I'm guessing that's when the vintage Simplicity pattern in the GIF came from.

Wish I knew who created this so I could give him/her credit.

1980s dance, cheerleading and band costumes

Big hair, sequins and lots of flammable fabric. It could only be the 80s.
