n ankle length dress, vinyl boots, and a hot pink tweed jacket, your production is going to be a hoax. The fashion also helps keep the audience in the plays world longer.Boucher , Francois "A History of British Costume"http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/4473/dress.htmlBy 1964 the teenage influence caused the hemlines to creep up, and most teenagers were wearing mid-thigh length shifts as daywear.The sweater-dress was also very popular with young people from 1961 onwards, until the mid-60s when other innovative designs were introduced. 1965 saw the premiere of culotte dresses in pop-art or vibrant colored patters, which were most popular as evening or party wear - the freedom of trousers but with the look of a full skirt. 1966s dress was the tent, or baby doll, dress in transparent chiffon, worn over a contrasting slip, often sewn-in. And in the fall 1967 collections, the paper dress made its debut. Made of paper blended with Nylon or other cellulose material, it was intended for everyday wear but was only ever widely used as holiday or lounge wear, due to its tendency to crease and also its flammability. 1960 onwards the turtleneck, or polo neck, sweater was common, especially under a collarless jacket, and in 1966 Aran sweaters, with their thick knit, became trendy. Sleeveless tops did not become truly popular until the mid 1960s.1964 brought the reversible coat, usually in tweed and plaid, paired with a matching dress or suit. 1965 saw the mini-coat, perfectly straight and virtually shapeless, and also the pop-inspired dyed furs and PVC designs. By 1967 capes were popular, and were often made with matching deerstalker hats (no, thank you, not for me...)How does this apply to the play?This is another version of the history of the different parts of womens dress. This is useful because of the fact that Britain was the start of most of the fashions in the 1960s. Very little happened anywhere else.Young, Clara " Christian Lacriox"http://w...
