Last night my children and I were watching a DVD of The Partridge Family (yes, really!) and while they were captivated by the show in general, I appreciated seeing lovely stars from the 1970s in their prime.
I was especially drawn to Farrah Fawcett in this absolutely stunning mini dress. On a lesser sort it could have a considerable, well, skank effect, but on this Texan blonde, the dress is as innocent and fresh as a daisy.

Love this dress in its context. (And yes, Jaclyn Smith makes an appearance in a later episode.)

That is the type of dress I imagine myself wearing while shopping on the French Riviera.
ReplyDeleteWhat a find! Thanks for sharing. Really love it.
ReplyDeleteWow, I didn't know she was in that show. She looks gorgeous in that tennis dress. Very lovely - but not sleezy at all...
ReplyDeleteWhat a great re-visitaion (is that a word?) of 1970s style. I'd also love to see some photos of Marlo Thomas from her "That Girl" period.
ReplyDeleteI agree, not many women could wear that dress without looking skanky! Farrah actually does it, though.
ReplyDeleteAs for myself, I think the cutouts would be an ultimate deal breaker...
Great retro look to emulate - how nice to see an alternative 70s style to the usual editorial choices.
