Where I went to skool, it was Lee jeans, a Miller shirt (both ironed as it was
a special occasion) and platform shoes with turn-up toes. The boys wore pretty
much the same with the addition of a leather jacket or waist-length double-
breasted zip-up lumber jacket that could be loaned to a girl
LOL. I attended in 1973. I can send you a picture of my date and I in all our
splendor.

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.

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.
