I went to prom in 1975. Most of the girls wore mini-skirts or dresses.
Most of them wore just a nice dress, nothing really fancy. I suggest that
you look on ebay for patterns of this time.

I no longer have a dressmaker dummy, but I have wig hat stands and
mannequin heads everywhere in my office. All their hats change every couple
of months. Three have modern wideband hats...LOL, one of these hats I just
spotted in the film Secretariat. Another hat is a late 1920s suede cloche

Go to the libraray scroll through the microfilm of the local paper to
look at the ads in the spring. Lotsa prom dress pics they'll be what

you can get a handle on what the fashion industry was pushing.

Yearbooks might, or might not, do any good. When the girls' yearbook
photos were taken at my high school, they merely draped our busts with a
piece of velvet; we did not wear our prom gowns or anything like that.

Hi, Tanya,
Today, my dummy was wearing a finished SCA tunic for a client. It is now in the
wash to remove the marks I made all over it. Who knew that simple rectangles

There are usually photos of the events through the year, which
includes the proms and any other dances. My yearbook would definitely
work as a source like that. The formal portraits for seniors did have
the draped velvet, but there were plenty of other photos in the book.
