These dresses had a sleek, form-fitting silhouette and were typically paired with delicate accessories

I threw this on with my favorite straight-leg jeans at the moment and a pair of black-heeled booties

While the 60s celebrated tailored designs and classic forms, 70s prom dresses embraced flowing, unstructured maxi dresses, ruffles and lace, pastels, and delicate fabrics like chiffon as well as synthetic/semi-synthetic fibers like polyester, rayon and Qiana that were popular in 70s clothing

I chose a pearl and crystal bib necklace with hoop earrings
