Hello dolls,
and welcome to "Explainin 60s Dolly Style"!
Join me on a trip through time back to London in the 1960s were Dolly Girls started to be seen around town.
In the mid 1960s the Dolly Style emerged amongst the youth. Rooted in Mod fashion these girls wore frilly babydoll dresses and did their makeup to appear as doll like as possible.
The essence of Dolly Style lied in its commitment to creating an image of perfect femininity and girlish charm. Aiming for a doll like appearance this look was characterized by short, puffed skirts, Peter Pan collars, and delicate, pastel colors. Lace, frills, and bows were abundant, making every outfit look as if it was plucked straight from a doll's wardrobe. This ultrafeminine style was a form of escapism, allowing young women to indulge in a fantasy world of innocence and beauty.
Pattie Boyd, Britt Ekland and Brigitte Bardot were classic dolly girls while muses like Sharon Tate and Twiggy wore the style for a little while.
Bands like The Beatles and The Monkees made dreamy music for the Dolly girls to dance and aydream to.
Movies like "A Hard Days Night" or "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg" were widely successfull while Syd Barret later sang about "A Dolly Rocker".
Despite its brief heyday, dolly fashion left an indelible mark on the cultural landscape. It significantly influenced fashion, music, and visual art, with its dreamy and feminine elements still visible in contemporary design. Modern designers, musicians, and artists continue to draw inspiration from its legacy, ensuring that the dolly style endures as a cherished and iconic part of fashion history.
Dolly fashion remains a nostalgic reference point for the 1960s, capturing the era's playful innocence.
Sending you dolls the biggest hug, thank you for watching!
All my lovin,
xx Emma
