About MeAt the end of the decade, full-length dresses in psychedelic prints became popular. The hippie vibe that had arrived in Britain from America was found in music, fashion and culture as a whole. Although this dress embodies some influences from this period, the use of polyester material and plastic buttons demonstrate that the dress was produced to be sold cheaply on the high-street. Dated to the 1960s.
