The History of the Sarong Dress
A sarong or sarung ( in Malay; ) is a large tube or length of fabric, often wrapped around the waist and worn as a kilt by men and as a skirt by women throughout much of South Asia, Southeast Asia, the Arabian Peninsula, the Horn of Africa, and on many Pacific islands. The fabric most often has woven plaid or checkered patterns, or may have brightly colored by means of batik or ikat dyeing, although often today, they have printed designs, often depicting animals or plants, or resembling batik or ikat.

Retro Housewives
A Retro housewife is a married woman who embraces the role of wife, mother, and housewife rather than working outside of the home.
The 1960s and 1970s marked the rise of feminism as we know it today, and as a result, women made huge advancements in the work force both in number of women working as well as the type of work being performed. Today there is hardly a profession or occupation where women are not employed.
However some women have found the demands of holding down a job or building a career as well as bearing and raising children overwhelming, and have either postponed having children, or are opting to leave the work force and devote themselves to home and family.
The modern version of the housewife has women pursuing an education, entering the work force and then leaving to care for children. This is the reverse of what the women of the 60's and 70's faced, when women were expected to marry early, and working outside the home was only an option when the children were grown.
Retro Accessories
Sixties Mod "Melinda" Dress
From EC Star Clothing comes this fabulous 1960s-inspired Melinda Dress. Featuring a high collar and gold buttons along the collar and up the puffy sleeves. A sexy keyhole opening in the back reveals just a little, but says a lot. The shape of this dress creates an authentic sixties, Twiggy-style silhouette. And of course, being from EC Star, the quality and attention to detail is top-notch!
Sixties Mod Little Black Dress
Perfect for any occasion, this cute little black dress works with tights, boots, heels, or pretty much anything. Dress it up with accessories for a night out, or dress it down for a demure, sophisticated look.
Sixties Spy Dress
The Super Spy Dress from Heartbreaker Fashions is a top seller! Girls can't get enough of its simple, flattering shape and 3/4 length sleeves. Kinda makes you feel like a sexy spy in a James Bond movie, especially when paired with boots!
Mod Squad
Mod (originally modernist, sometimes capitalised) is a subculture that originated in London, England in the late 1950s and peaked in the early to mid 1960s.
Significant elements of the mod subculture include: fashion (often tailor-made suits); pop music, including African American soul, Jamaican ska, and British beat music and R&B; and Italian motor scooters. The original mod scene was also associated with amphetamine-fuelled all-night dancing at clubs. From the mid to late 1960s onwards, the mass media often used the term mod in a wider sense to describe anything that was believed to be popular, fashionable or modern.
There was a mod revival in the United Kingdom in the late 1970s, which was followed by a mod revival in North America in the early 1980s, particularly in Southern California.
Seventies Celebutante Maxi-Length Dress
The disco-fabulous maxi-length dress is back and sexier than ever! Broad Minded Clothing presents the Seventies Celebutante Maxi Dress, straight outta Studio 54. Made of a heavy rayon jersey fabric, it flounces and bounces and flatters your frame from head to toe. Halter top and bare back.
