YOUR COSTUME REQUIRED IN CHAFFEE

YOUR COSTUME REQUIRED IN CHAFFEE – JUNE 1, 2012

The 1960s featured a number of diverse trends that broke

fashion traditions, following the social movements during

the decade. Mid-decade, culottes, box-shaped PVC dresses

and go-go boots were popular. The bikini hit big in 1963 after

being featured in the musical Beach Party.

Mini skirts arrived, and Jackie Kennedy introduced the 

pillbox hat, with false eyelashes were worn by women

throughout the 1960s. Hairstyles were a variety of lengths

and styles, and people chose psychedelic prints, highlighter

colors, and mismatched patterns.  The hippie culture reached

into the fashion world, adding bell-bottom jeans, tie-dye, and 

batik fabrics, as well as paisley prints.

Designers began producing clothing more suitable for

young adults driving interests and sales.

Chaffee Medicap Pharmacy’s 5oth Anniversary Celebration begins

tonight with a street dance, 1960s costume and dance contest, and

features Bill Hulvey and Side Street Band, with Susan Anderson

Bell—7-10pm this evening.  Come out and join us for the fun!

Don’t overdo it on your costume, though…you wouldn’t

want to hurt yourself.
