When this was achieved, the dressmaker built the more costly fabrics around the lining, draping satin or velvet to form the skirt, and creating bodices using net, lace, and beaded trim. Most often a girdle, or belt, held in the waist.

Flares were derived from the hippy fashion for loon pants of the late 60s. They were worn by men and w

It was the first year for bohemian chic and that look went from und
