Vintage dancer 60s: hot and stylish! Burda Special Project 07/2019
Any fashionable era, as a rule, is recognizable by the characteristic silhouettes that were in use, and the sixties, of course, is no exception. But it was during this decade that the love of prints, which we will talk about today, became so widespread that the prints themselves began to literally symbolize the fashion of that time. Hardly having seen patterns popular in the 30s or 40s, you will accurately guess the decade, but prints from the 60s can be recognized at a glance!

The greatest love of fashionistas was gained by rather small, but at the same time complex floral and plant patterns.
