I love the green stripe version!

The green stripe version looks to me like she's wearing an apron. I like the black/white version, but the white should be kelly green. For me at least.

As if I could pull it off.

For me, the question is, which part of the 60s? The 60s were a really dynamic time in womens' fashion, and a lot of people not from the era tend to miss that. Are we talking Summer of Love, or It's a Mod Mod World?

I figure a cocktail party calls for Mod, early decade, Jackie Kennedy.

Thanks for all the cool ideas. Matterhorn fan LOVE ther dress and I do sew but I'm guessing I would never complete it (all those years in 4H for nothing).

The invite states celebrating everything 60's even P (the birthday gal). So there is a wide variety to choose from. Since it states coctail attire and it is kind of work related for me I was thinking more along the Jackie O line rather than a mirco mini with white boots. I actually saw a cute dress at Mervyns yesterday that was a 60's ish kind of print but alas even on a starvation deit I'd never be a size 2.

Thanks for all the input.
