I just re-watched Carrie, and I have questions

Mainly: did all prom dresses in the mid-1970s look like the church attire of a 75-year-old woman from Greenfield, Iowa?

Even La Buckley's dress ages her considerably.

There was a prairie look that was popular for a while. Maybe it affected the tastes in prom dresses.

I was there. They were always floor length. A girl at my prom wore a "hanky hem" dress. She was shunned.

Honey, it was made nearly [italic]fifty[/italic] years ago. Did you expect them somehow to look like the fashions of today?

It was nearing our countries bicentennial. There was a lot of trendy nostalgia for colonial life. Remember holly hobbie?

It started in the late 60s, “granny dresses” they were called.
