That was a charming trip down memory lane. I was married in '67. I wore a white lace, sleeveless mini dress with a pink satin sash. I also wore a huge, pink sailor hat and kitten heels. This video brought that all back, and so much more. Those wer seriously FUN times.
They don't make , pretty sheer dressing gowns, negligees, nightdresses and pyjamas like the 60s. So glamerous and feminine. Housecoats and aprons kept your clothes clean while doing housework. All you had to do when you'd finished was take it off and you're ready to shop, have a coffee with a friend or pick up the children from school. Nowadays we wear old clothes to do all sorts of mucky jobs. I always wear an apron when baking/cooking but ALWAYS take it off when visiting the bathroom. Thank heavens fashion goes round in circles
Epic Ellen, To be honest, I didn't and still don't like most of any clothing styles from the 1960s & 1970s. The clothing you've mentioned was pre-1960s. More like from 1920s to late 1940s. I could be wrong mind you, but... I did some research (not a whole lot to loose sleep over it LOL) and those fancy, flowing, very feminine negligees, nightdresses etc. show up from 1920s to 1930s (with some exceptions in the B&W 1940s Hollywood movies). I have few sewing patterns for "nighttime wear from the 1950s and they don't have all that voluminous amount of fabric as one sees in those old movies. (sight) :-) Not that it matters, but my favorites in clothing runs in almost anything from 1920s to very early 1950s and....Edwardian style of shoes (THAT one goes wayyy back LOL)
As an addition to your video, you should know that just because a designer invented a certain type of dress, does not mean that it was widely worn. I don't think anyone ever wore the hardware dress shown at 6:28, except maybe a celebrity for a publicity shoot.
@@lovly2cu725 In the 60s, the mini was either micro-mini, barely covering you know what, or halfway between the knee and you know what. The midi was just at the knee or just below the knee. The maxi was at ankle length, just about sweeping the floor. I loved my maxi winter coat, the warmest coat ever.
The best video about 1960s fashion I have watched; detailed ventures /debuts throughout the 60s, information about icons etc.... Great pacing (concise, clear, detailed yet not so much to be overwhelming in my opinion) - Well done!
My great Grandpa, both Grandpas, Dad, & uncles wouldn't have been caught dead in one of those little round hats near the beginning of this video! They all wore STETSON dress hats. You did a great job on this video. I wish you'd mentioned paper dresses. baby doll dresses, & mod watches.
E. Paige Sergent I don’t remember anyone in the US wearing those round Bolar hats period! My grandpas nor my dad wore them. Maybe in England but not here.
Many of the shoes shown in this video I wore. Patent ones came in a lovely cherry/wine red or navy blue with cream or white trim. Some were beige or black. I was the first girl to wear the vivid orange patent. Loved my 'Lulu' boots. Cost an absolute fortune but worth every penny. Dean Martin's girls in Ambushers and Emma Peel in Avengers are the perfect example of 60s fashion.
Ah, the block color dress, probably the dress that stood for the late 60's! You can tell the vintage of the patterns, by 1969 the price had gone up to 75 cents!!
@@fredjames8359 Doing pretty well thank you. Weather is heating up, forecasting 97 by next week, the hotter it gets, the further into the house I retreat!!
I've always been attracted to women who have great taste in clothing and presentation, especially seasonally chosen outfits. In today's time, wearing pre shredded jeans, sneakers, outdated Uggs, and the vomitous Birkenstocks and oatmeal socks coupled with white socks and shower slippers is mall trash. Spring and summer fashion of platforms and sundresses, fall plaids of knee high boots and leggings, and the wonderful Christmas attire of green and red skirts, and black boots complemented by a sexy hat says that a woman cares enough about herself to actually shop for that look. And that look is very well received. Thanks for the video.
I have been searching for a somewhat educational video on 60s fashion for a long time! well....46 minutes lol. But finally this video is the only one I've found that genuinely touches on the actual fashion of the time rather than trying to emulate it or whatsoever. Good on you lovely. If it was for an essay/project I hope you got a great outcome :D
Do a search for the Sears (pick a year!) catalogue online, it has the "real" stuff regular people were buying and wearing, a far cry from the "designer" clothing. There are a couple of good sites, unfortunately, at the moment I don't remember what the names are. Also, look for the sites that sell the vintage patterns, "momspatterns.com comes to mind, you can sort them by year and so on. Good luck!
It's a shame fashion manufacturers don't make decent bras like they did then. Young and older women had a nice shape. Unlike today where bras are too rounded. Poor fitting (even expensive ones) and uncomfortable.
Epic Ellen, so true! I remember Sears used to have a professional bra fitter in the lingerie department and not only that, now days, the fabrics used for bras and the elastics/supports, leave the skin raw. Quality, it seems has "left the room". :-)
MINISKIRT A little history The miniskirt was created by Lucien David LANGMAN, Master Tailor of the Jean Raymond house in 1959. Mary QUANT, the British woman, bought 2 miniskirts cut by Lucien David Langman at the Boutique des Arts in Saint Tropez and paraded them on a young model of 16 years TWIGGY in New York in 1966. The Miniskirt creations of Lucien David Langman and the aspiring model were a success in NEW YORK and launched Mary Quant to the forefront #jeanraymond #LucienLangman
No.Mary Quant saw what girls on the street were doing and copied it in her store. She changed fashion in that she put in store what people actually wore. Have a look at The Ultimate Fashion History channel on youtube. She has some really good videos.
This may be correct for the USA but it certainly is not true of London? I lived there in those days. My clothes all came from Biba, Bus Stop, Quorum or Granny Takes a Trip. Ossie Clark and Celia Birtwell were very influential.
Women straightening their curly hair and it wasn't a problem! We could be and look however we wanted to look! Now people read something into the most benign things!

Man times have changed!! I admit back then looked A MILLIONS TIMES more FUN than todays time. Somebody build a time machine already
For real!
What a treat for the eyes! Great fun walking through the decade I was born with this video!

I was living in London during the 60`s, oh my goodness what great days they were.
Im jealous
Omg…I wore dresses like that ….the geometric colors! I loved that dress…
I love collecting/wearing vintwge 60s and 70s clothing and accessories
Me too!!! I love the late 1960s fashions!! :)
I have beautiful skirt/jacket combo that my mom wore for her reception outfit ...any interest

Hippies came around before 1969 and the mod look was before 1966...
@3:45 she said 1965 Mondrian dress. I dont recall MOD before then. I do recall it later as she said
Mini, Midi and Maxi! Those were the days. So much fun!
now they call just below the knee maxi- no it isnt maxi

Hello friend
Hello sergent
How are you doing and how is the weather condition over there??
People between 75 and 90 today :((( time flies.
yep:( my nan was in her early-mid 20s in the 1960s, she’s 77 now, time really does fly
@@Jaxo_R i agree
I love the adult fashions of the early 60's.
@3:45 Mondrian @4:37 op art I have a silk shirt with op art pattern. Still love MOD
This was back when fashion really was fashion :)

Fashion is always changing just cause you don’t like it doesn’t mean it isn’t true fashion😒

Not true in the US either. I lived through this. This narrator is like 23.
Really well done!

Nice job.
Hello Dolores...

Remember baby doll, pjs?
Me gustan los años 60 de la moda
Bulletproof fashion....lol.
As a woman who loves being a woman I don't think woman's liberation ultimately accomplished it's true goals
Adoro a moda dessa época, adoraria ter nascido nesses anos, acho maravilhosa essas roupas, as mulheres eram ousadas em cores, sexy, sem ser vulgar....
🍎🌺👏
Me gustan los años sesentas moda
Lovely....no tattoos or nose rings. The young women today look like they were shot out of a cannon

Calças de 1965
Bowler hats? No... more like fedoras.
Wish the reader would stop with the glottal fry.
The youths in the 60s are all dead now. Sad.
Haha not this one 3:50
And few were fat
This has so many mistakes- from one who lived it!
