Costume ideas

My video is going to star two old ladies thought to be in there 70's, thinking back to when they were teenagers of 16-18 years old. I realised that costume will be important in this case as most of the filming will have to be set in around the 1960s-70s. I found some photos of fashion of this era to give me inspiration of how to dress my actresses. 


 1.)I chose this picture because the girls look like they are in their teens, so around the age the actresses will be in my music video. All 3 girls in the image are wearing head bands which must of been a popular accessory in the 60's, I could easily include this item in my music video to fit with the style of that era. The girls all wear pastel, quite sickly colours which I think I could include in the costumes also. I noticed that all the girls wear either a skirt of box shaped dress which hangs just above the knee, the outfits are modest and loose fitting without looking frumpy, all girls have a loose fitting skirt above the knee and a high necked top or sweater with long sleeves. I will make sure to include this when choosing outfits for the characters in my music video.
2.)In this photo the girls look a little older than the last one, they also have outfits which are a little more provocative as they wear shorter skirts and shorts. Most of the girls still have the high neck tops which I think must of been a popular style in the 60's-70's, as I have seen this so many times in photographs, I will be sure to include this style in my video. Unfortunately I couldn't find a colour version of this photograph so I don't know what sort of colours would be in this photograph.




3.) In this photo the 4 girls all wear similar outfits, high necked box type style dresses with clashing coloured tights and small heels. I think this is a simple star to replicate and I could definitely use this style in my music video.
