<p>[QUOTE="Debora, post: 392003, member: 1476"]Boy, I'm not going to agree with those dates. Early 1960s okay, mid-1960s maybe but by late-1960s that dress would have looked really old-fashioned. Here's a 1966 evening dress; notice it's a knee-length fitted sheath with trapeze-shaped overdress. By 1968, hems were well above the knee and the trapeze-shape had taken over. Also, by the late 1960s, plastic zippers had been introduced and were being used instead of metal.</p><p><br /></p><p>Debora</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]136018[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]136017[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
