60s style clothes

[Barneythedinosaur]

Hi all, I've been invited to a birthday party where the theme is "60s".
It's not a style I've really worn before so would like some help/ideas of what might suit me if possible.

I'm 5'4, size 12-14. I'm pear shaped with quite chunky thighs/legs. I've also got a droopy mum tum, and I'm about 2 stone heavier than I would like to be. My upper arms aren't my favourite either. I do have decent boobs though haha.

60s was often a sheath/ shift dress.often sleeveless. You cd put a tee shirt under. You could put it with knee hi simple boots. If you have long hair, maybe put it in a bee hive style.( you tube shows how) or a hairdresser cd do it. Then 60s make up.

My personal style is much more 50s rockabilly style dresses so it's like the complete opposite haha.
I've got quite long hair so was thinking beehive style yeah. Is it easy to do alone?
What sort of makeup was popular?

Carry on screaming was released in 1966, so how about going in a similar style dress to the one worn by Fenella Fielding? Lots of copies around if you Google. You could also Wear it at Hallowe’en

The Wikipedia page on 1960s fashion is brilliant. I'd be going late 60s, bell bottoms, love beads, kaftan.

I saw these in Superdry yesterday and thought they looked quite sixties
