Help me dress like Beth from Queen's Gambit....

[Bellaisoneluckywoman]

Just that really. Astonishingly good Netflix series, but my GOD the clothes!!!!! Anyone have any tips for how to dress like Beth? Does anywhere sell dresses/blouses etc. like that? Just when I thought I'd live in tracksuits for life I am suddenly inspired. Also - wonder if one has to be a size 8 to carry it off?? Hmmm. Off to practice some winged eyeliner.

For a contemporary take on the 60s,I think you could do a lot worse than some selective Boden - their A line mini skirts for example, and also some of their coats.

If you want to be more authentic, you can still get vintage 60s with a bit of rummaging and persistance. However from the way Beth's clothes move and drape, my guess (and I could be wrong) is that they've been recreated using technology that didn't exist 50 years ago. Classic 1960s pieces in linen and velvet and tweed are fabulous, but a lot of the iconic stuff was in synthetics that were stiff, itchy and will give you a new respect for polyester.

It's true that some of it was unforgiving of curves but I think people worried a lot less about that pre Instagram. And again, the more classic pieces, the tailored suits and dresses - watch Beth's mother's outfits - look great on curvier bodies.

Or you can just take bits of it: the eyeliner, the pale lipstick, the flicked up hair, etc etc.

Not sure of shops where you can re-create Beth’s look but wanted to put this link here for this virtual exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum - where you can check out many of the shows costumes.

Ooo - thank you all. Am going to try out everyone's suggestions. Wish I was handy with my sewing machine as would LOVE to recreate some of her exact outfits. TO. DIE. FOR.

Ooooo - have found some rather good stuff on Etsy. FuzzyRetro, for instance, does some gorgeous looking mini-dresses.
