Ah, what fun. I know by the early 70s I had several long dresses for

In the late 60s Laura Ashley introduced daywear that had a longer

I remember my older brother's Cool Girlfriend wearing long dresses

a year later, the pattern companies were showing most of their teen

Umm.. isn't that what historical costume is? Naturally you don't really
expect it to happen in your life time, but the rate of change for Fashion

This is not directly an answer to your question, but it is the sort of thing I
would appreciate hearing about before I made something - take it or leave it as
you choose.

The article in the August 2006 edition of The Citizen's Companion is a
reprint of an article Karen Crocker originally researched over a dozen years

portions of that article that are not quite correct.

Given Barbara Michaels' interest in vintage clothing and textiles?(Shattered

I went to high school before the hippie craze hit, so no one even

Oh, many styles and events that people remember as 1960s are actually
1970s. I think the most memorable event may be the National Guard/Kent State
incident, which was actually in the spring of 1970. Right off the top of my
head, clothing-wise, I'm thinking of polyester double knits, and
I figure that what we think of as The Sixties started about 1964 (when the
Beatles arrived) and went to about 1976 or so. It all depends on what your
markers are, but mere calendar dates don't work. Trends and whatever don't
start and stop neatly just because the decade changes.

Also, they were considered undergarments, just as men's shirts were were
not worn alone. A Garibaldi waist was worn as an ensemble piece with either
a Zouave or bolero jacket , or a Swiss bodice.
I hadn't heard that, nor guessed it from the fashion plates I have seen with
no jacket.
