Sixties Love
























In honor of the upcoming labor day weekend and back to school, I'm starting the picture archive with this 1962 Juniors dress ad.

I love these old ads; in addition to being entertaining to look at they also provide good information on identifying fabrics and providing descriptive words to use to
describe your vintage dress.

The dresses referred to here as "pert plaids and colorful checks" came in two styles, the sheath, which is the slim pencil skirt, or the bouffant, which is the full skirt. The material is combed cotton and in 1962 these cost $6.84
