Maxi 70s

I think I avoided a Seventies maxi coat but I did have a maxi-dress for my 21st birthday. This film clip is focused on the maxi style but there’s loads of interesting background detail as well.

Fab frocks from 1970

I never managed to afford an Ossie Clark dress, much to my everlasting regret.

This film clip is a bit blurry but the dresses are great.

I can’t say we had any furniture like this in our house in the Swinging Sixties.
