Please, someone, anyone…
Explain to me the paper hostess dress??!!??
This does not look like too good an idea to me. None too durable. Perhaps that was the idea? Sort of a giftwrap on its’ own?
Did anyone actually wear these things, and if so, why????
My mind is running amok with incomprehension.
Anybody?

Paper dresses were a big fad in the ’60s. I am sure every era and culture has experimented with paper clothing. I believe Scott was responsible for part of the trend. The paper is not thin, but it is usually a one time wear thing. The ones I have seen were very vibrantly patterned.
Additionally, lots of couture houses have shown paper clothes at one time or another. This season on “Project Runway” there was a “Design a Dress Out of Newspaper” challenge, and several of the looks were interesting/ pretty and wearable.
hmm…I’m very intrigued by the paper dress! I may have to pick one up for the next holiday I host (can’t leave the house in a paper dress!)
I seem to remember there was also a fad for paper panties at one time too, in the early ’70s … or am I confusing those with the edible underwear craze?
