Woo hoo it’s Friday which means it’s
time for Make Me Pretty Shop's #fridaysfrock!
Every week, we select a must-have genuine vintage dress to showcase. This week, it's a high ruffle neck,
balloon sleeve, 1970s
prairie-style dress by Paragi.
Prairie dresses are the epitome of ‘innocence and fun’ – think the wholesome Ingalls children from American drama TV
series Little House on the Prairie.
While these dresses for women tend to offer a sweet and
summery look, this little number has a rich autumnal palette of deep purple
with blue and pink flowers.
Prairie dresses naturally followed the Peasant look
(Yves St Laurent 1976) and were introduced to fashion by Ralph Lauren in his
1978 western themed collection.
Traditionally, the skirts would have been full and flouncy,
but like many vintage dresses, Prairie dresses have evolved over time to suit
the modern woman.
In the 70s clothing become multifunctional, and today’s #fridaysfrock
is no exception.
While perfect for summer days, this Paragi Prairie dress is a
great capsule wardrobe staple.
To transform your look from day to night, swap knitted
tights, a fur gilet and carved bangles for bold wedges, a statement
necklace and a stylish clutch, voila!
