In Southern California (probably the rest of California too) long skirts came in with the Hippie look. Bonnie Parker's skirts were much straighter than ours, which were either tiered or gathered and very full. I remember these skirts when I was still in high school, before the film came out.
My recollection, as a teenager in the English Midlands, is that "maxi" (i.e. > calf-length) skirts came in with the film "Bonnie & Clyde" in 1967-8. -- Carolyn Kayta Barrows -- “The future is already here, it is just unevenly distributed.” -William Gibson -- _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
