Some Updated Minis

They're not for me, but sometimes it's fun to see how styles are currently interpreted. Here are some updated & fancy minis from BHLDN.

I wore a lot of similar designs back in the 60's. Fun to look at these

One of them reminds me of a costume I wore when I played "Maisie" in "The Boyfriend" in Junior High.😀

Well, they're cute on those skinny models with skinny legs, but let me get a hemline even 1 inch above my knee and........ Kinda funny since I know other VERY conservative dressers who can wear their hemlines shorter and it's perfectly okay, but on me it's a total no. I have one nice dress that hits me just above the knee and while I don't think it is my best look, I never expected someone to actually come out and "constructively criticize" it. I'll still wear it though.

I had a couple exactly like pic#1 back in the 1960's. They were not lace or as fancy but the style is exactly the same.

So nothing new in that pic.

I wore dresses similar to #1 back in late 60s to early 70's (graduated '72).

I was called a beanpole back then.

@Love my grandkids I wonder what people thought about minis back in the mod 1960's & the 1970's.

A lot of these are so cute! They did remind me of my days - way back when -- when I could, and did, wear minis! Fashion was so much fun back then! Oh, my --- I wish now that I had kept a few of my few cute fashion items. I can remember a lot of them very clearly. I had a lot of favorites and every time I wore one of them, I felt so happy! When you are young and care free and have a slim, great figure, you just could wear any and everything and never gave it a thought! Those were the days! I never thought that all these fashions would all be coming back!

My favorite mini dress in 1968 was a very short swing dress in red, white and blue poly knit. It was so short that I wore it with navy tights, Mini Mouse chunky patent heels and red, white and blue undies that frequently could be seen.. As I was in Okinawa, I had my Sew Lady copy it over and over for me and all my teacher girlfriends (I worked for USO).
