Description: | This mini-dress was bought from C&A, Kensington High Street, by Julia Parker, who donated many clothes to the Museum of London in the late 1960s and 70s. She wore the dress when she took her driving test and recalled 'I wore it on a hot day in March 1968 ... (I passed!)'.
Julia customised the dress by shortening the skirt, and wore it with a pair of orange shoes. It is printed with horizontal bands of varying widths in ochre, grey, purple, orange and pink, in a pattern of stylised flowers and leaves. It cost 29 shillings and 11 pence and was in the 'under 5'2" [five foot two inches]' department. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | Museum of London | Subjects: | Youth Culture and Fashion | Temporal: | 1968 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
