Summer Dresses - 1970

In a fast 5 years, we've seen mini lengths rule the day. Mod looks are still popular. Paris runways are starting to loose their influence, as women begin to watch the youth and their "street style". Designers wanted us to embrace the midi, but most of us still wore the mini. Here, dresses for hot summer days from 1970.

Courreges midi length dress with large multi-colored vinyl bubble appliques.
