About MeLong sleeved floral chiffon mini dress.The sixties saw a new wave of youth culture and fashion was imbued with energy, bold shapes and vibrant colours. This mini-dress combines several styles characteristic of the period. The floral abstract pattern and the short length adds a playful feel, but the long gathered sleeves and waist anticipate the more romantic style of the hippies that surfaced at the end of the decade.
