My sister was watching "Palm Springs Weekend" this afternoon, and although I had a list of things to do, the 1960's dresses lured me in! This movie stars Connie Stevens and has some great early 60's fashion. I love the scarves she's always wearing to protect her big bouffant hair-do, and of course they always match her outfits. The party scene is the best though, every dress is better than the next. Oh, and did I mention the amazing 60's couches? I could watch this movie over and over again just for the gorgeous clothes and furniture!
And the men were still wearing shirts, ties, and suit coats!!!
ReplyDeleteI am completely addicted to old movies, and besides the glamorous women, I love that the men are generally wearing shirts and ties. I am a sucker for a man dressed like that.
Hollywood never 'got it'. And Palm Springs Weekend was no exception ! They have the wrong music, for one. They have 'jazz' in most of their movies about teenagers - VERY wrong. The big exception: American Graffiti. Ron Howard 'got it'. Also, guys weren't walking around in suits & ties!!! Especially on spring vacation lol. Here are the songs of 1963: http://oldfortyfives.com/1963.htm
