In the early 1960's the look was a tight fitting, thigh-high dresses. These dresses looked good on the boyish looking girls, or very skinny girls. They would focus on being skinny so this form of clothing was a major sell. These dresses were synthetic (man made) clothing, made of fabrics like polyester knits, vinyl, plastic, fake fur, and imitation leather. They looked great in bold patterns and short hemlines. People in the 60's also wore small miniskirts.There were those in the late 60's that wore clothing that were almost rags. These people were called Hippies.
