What is a paper dress? Is it literally made of paper? Disposable? I am so confused. Edit: found a nice history https://www.vam.ac.uk/articles/paper-dresses

Thanks for posting link. It does a nice job of detailing the trend and social significance.

It would really enable you to let someone rip your clothes off if you wanted!

Thank you for posting that I feel like I saw these dresses back then but had no idea they were made out of paper

Other than the fact they were paper, I'd given anything to have this style of maternity clothes in the 70's. Trying to find them in cute styles was nearly impossible. Maybe I just wasn't looking in the right stores.

This is an ad that at quick glance, it's like whatever. When I examined it closely from a social, psychological, marketing perspective, I thought it was really interesting and nuanced in many connecting ways.

I have questions about the creepy-looking old dude

That’s Oleg Cassini, who designed the dresses they’re offering.

At least she waited to have the baby before having her cigarette
