Styles of '65: Short Evening Dresses (Skylark Fashions, Summer 1965)

 Long evening dresses certainly existed in the mid-1960s, but they were reserved for the most formal of occasions.  If you wanted to go out to a restaurant, on a date, to a party, for cocktails or dancing at one of the new trendy "discothéques", you would probably choose a knee-length skirt instead.  Below are some very stylish outfits for a night out from Skylark Fashions.

Style 828—SHEER ILLUSION—A floaty, flatering outfit that will lift your spirits right up to Cloud #9!  You're an angel, a blithe spirit, a fairy princess in this charming dress and drifty cape outfit of lace and nylon sheer.  The dress is fully lined with taffeta; the wispy coat has a face-framing lace collar that makes you look as beautiful as you are.  Maize, blue or pink with white lace.
