mini 70s fashion resource masterlist
I'm working on bigger projects (that might never see the light of day because I can't figure out formatting, links and other stuff) but I wanted to provide some sources for those interested in fashion, specifically for writing 70s fashion in fics and books.
I love 70s fashion and it hurts my heart to see so many characters in bell bottoms, bright colors, converse and leather when those weren’t even the biggest parts! I like to use pictures from real people and their lives, as well as magazines. I like to stay away from the costume style that’s often portrayed in movies.
these are sorted from my favorite to least favorite
Reddit- Yeah yeah I know it’s reddit, but there are so many good resources!
r/TheWayWeWere is MY FAVE!!!! It’s literally random people’s pictures from any era! Their focus is on people in everyday life, so it’s perfect. Go to this subreddit, type your desired era or use the flair and you have hundreds of real life pictures from real life people in your desired era.
r/70s is a lot, it’s everything 70s so you get some good stuff and some bad stuff, but it’s authentic for sure
r/vintagefashion and r/vintage a lot of this is really good, but some can get gimmicky, overall they are good resources
r/TheGoodOldDays hit or miss but it’s okay
r/fashion and r/mensfashion hard to sort through, a lot of the advice tends to be a little gimmicky
Sewing Patterns- A lot of people sewed their own clothes in the 70s
Readily available, easy to find, with the variety you can find super popular stuff and less popular stuff
Simplicity Sewing Pattern, Vintage Sewing Pattern Company, Vintage Sewing Patterns Wiki, there’s SO MANY websites out there
Magazine articles from the 70s- this is the advice a lot of people followed so it’s good for me!
A big big reason for this being second is that it’s a bit inaccessible, I haven’t had much luck but I am not the most technologically advanced individual
The best way to view these is at a library that has them archived on microfilm, if you have a good, large library near you then you might be in luck
There are some archived and digitized online, but they are mostly behind a paywall or incomplete pieces.
Large magazines have vaults, like TIME and Vogue, but some they can be a representation of the upper class and the very rich which isn’t the target of most authors
Movies/shows from the 70s- ehhh pretty hit or miss. movies from the 70s tend to be a pretty idealistic representation of what people were wearing. it HEAVILY depends of what kind of show
Movies set in the 70s- this is a super broad one so some are great! some are bad! i would suggest looking at other sources, at least for a while, once you notice the trends then you can notice what’s realistic and what isn’t.

Heidi, 23
“I collect late 60s and early 70s piece of clothing. Today I’m wearing this amazing Frank Oliver late 1960s velvet pant suit- that I think is very BiBa inspired – I love every detail of it. My bag is Coach X Bonnie Cashin from the 60s. My sunnies are these great late 60s frames, lastly my 1970s platform shoes which are just incredible! I love having fun with fashion. I feel so aligned with the style of the 60s and 70s. I also stand for sustainability in the fashion world. I love wearing secondhand and knowing it’s always unique and fabulous like myself!”

hi guys i have a really long post about 1970s fashion that i’ve been working on for a few months on and off. i’ve been looking at magazines, pictures, forums and articles. would that something y’all would be interested in?
i started it as a guide for marauder fic writers and just as a personal interest.

1970s Porty!Mayor doodles because the guy deserves to be a little funky sometimes.
#lego monkie kid#lego monkie kid fanart#monkie kid#monkie kid fanart#lmk#lmk fanart#lmk mayor#monkie kid mayor#semi related to Blue and Violet because of speech bubble with thr skeleton key#this is the exact same fit they had when running around the USA in the 1970s trying to find that damn thing#sans the skeleton era#I may or may not have an unhealthy obsession with this outfit on the Mayor
