Proper dress for smart 60s themed do

[TheChristmasTreeSurgeonsMate]

I have urgent need of a posh party frock with a 60s feel. I live in a large city. I am online trying to do some pre-planning for hitting the shops tommorrow as I have a total of zero hours to devote to this. But I really don't know what I'm doing - any brands / shops / google-able words I should be looking at?

I would get a proper vintage dress. Which city are you in?

Something like this

oasis dress in john lewis

ooh

try looking for shift dresses.

hobbs

can you give an idea of budget?

River Island skater dress

And Topshop has a blue skater dress

Those are some good picks, I love the Oasis one. I do live near a glamorous vintage shop, but it isn't opening until tommorrow afternoon, and that's at the end of my shopping window, so didn't want to put all eggs in that basket. I'll have a look in case the killer frock is there.

Meanwhile, shift dress was the phrase I needed. I have bought one from Zara with a zip and little pockets, I think it has the right feel. Big plastic earrings and a pair of white tights shouldn't be as hard to find, hopefully.

ah you came back, i thought you'd gone orf.

now, what about your hair?

Oh you are kidding me, my hair? Can't you tell I'm not good at this kind of thing? What the hell did they do with their hair? Mine is long and straight. Vidal Sassoon it ain't.

well you don't want to miss out on an opportunity to bouffant your hair do you???

can you tell i love this sort of thing?

you tube 60s hair, you'll find tutorials i'm sure.

Oh man. The seventies would be so much more me...

aha Couldn't find it on Zara site, but here it is.

great

what about patterned tights, like this

I think I could certainly carry those off.

think you've got it covered now.

have a great evening.
