Top of the Pops was a very important music show on British TV for decades. From the second half of 1975 until fall 1976 denim waistcoats seem to have had a peek in ordinary peoples fashion in the United Kingdom, so they often appeared on women in the audiences of TOTP in 1975 and 1976. I like to scan the TOTP audiences of this time for young women in the background wearing denim waistcoats.
It's not easy to catch them for three reasons: First the video sequences of the show sometimes are mixed with stuff from older shows, so it's not always possible to watch out for a special woman. Second there were two, maybe more stages in the studio for the artists to appear. And the audience is always changing place and maybe flipping between the stages. Third the cameras are mostly moving while filming the artists performances, moving around the stages and so on, so there are often only small sequences of the denim waistcoat women to catch.
I discovered only one sure denim waistcoat woman in the audience of the TOTP show from the 7th of October 1976. You can see her face while the performance of T-Rex down in the right bottom corner:
She wears blue jeans, a light blouse and a denim waistcoat and has brunette hair.
Later I've spotted her again in the audience, while Pussycat was performing their mega hit Mississippi. There is another possible young woman with long blonde hair and a red blouse. Maybe she wears blue jeans and a denim waistcoat, maybe a denim dress with belt.
I've also discovered two or three boys with denim waistcoats in the audience. On this vidcap are two of them:
