More popular were granny skirts, though no one seems to talk about it, and easier to make, just a long tube of floral print fabric...the small floral denoting the style as much as how it looked...hemed at bottom and waist, elastic insert. Some girls made dresses that were basicall an elogated skirt and tube made higher with another elastic around top, like an attached tube top. In my time frame the granny gowns were only this. No sleeves etc. as no one except me had higher sewing skills. Anything that could be minimally sewed or retied during the hippie era became clothing. Large scarbes were tied up as bra tops or hole cut in them and worn poncho style as tops or skirtts. So the next step was to make it more constructed as tops or skirts, so what became popular from that? handerchief hems!
