Dress Like Melissa

Although Bryony contains a few descriptions of how Melissa and her friends dressed in 1975--with the exception of Kimberly, this was mostly jeans, T-shirts, and sweaters--the book gives much more attention to Victorian fashion. Since the story is told through Melissa's perspective, she naturally is more aware of the unusual clothing than her everyday wear.

However, especially for the younger reader, if you're curious about what else teen '70's girls (and boys) wore, check out this link.
