60's dress help
 

I've been invited to a 60th birthday party. The theme is everything 60's and the attire is coctail attire - from then or now. Anyone have any ideas on where to find some swanky 60's type coctail attire? I've got about a month.

It would take some shopping, but you could probably put together a mod outfit with new clothes.

Here's some inspiration.

Thanks for the link NA. This will involve much shopping, bummer :D

It's also work related so I'm looking for something fairly sedate. The dress you linked would be perfect - or something similiarish.

maybe check out a few old sean connery 007 movies for ideas as well. there's always a cool looking cocktail party in there somewhere.

:cool:

Bow Up is a good film to watch.

Mary Quant still has a little shop in London - I bet you could find something there

theres a place called Frock You in our area that specializes in vintage clothing.

its actually kind of a funky/cool place to wander through albeit little more than a large walk in closet.

other vintage stores in SD

Do you sew? This is 1950's, but isn't it fabulous??
