Questions About 1970s Dress Velvet
- Was velvet used in the 1970s?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertJune 15, 2023Yes, velvet was used in the 1970s. Fashion designers used the fabric to produce dresses, bell bottoms, flowy kimonos and other pieces. Furniture makers often used it as the upholstery on sofas and armchairs. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of pieces from the 1970s.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To tell if a dress is from the 1960s or 1970s, first look for a label. You may be able to determine the approximate date of the dress simply by researching the designer using reputable online sources. Also, check the zippers. Dresses from the 1960s will usually have metal or nylon zippers. Ones from the 1970s are more likely to be plastic. You'll find a large selection of vintage dresses on 1stDibs.
- What was worn in the 1970s?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Fashion during the 1970s included lots of T-shirts, cardigans, kimonos, graphic tees, jeans, khakis, and vintage clothes. In the mid-1970s, other fashion highlights included puffy skirts and shirts with flowy sleeves.
- 1stDibs ExpertJanuary 27, 2025The designer who became famous with her wrap dresses in the 1970s is Diane von Furstenberg. She debuted her first example in 1974. When creating the Wrap dress, von Furstenberg drew inspiration from the skirts worn by ballerinas. In celebration of the 40th anniversary of the now-iconic dress, an exhibit called Diane von Furstenberg: Journey of a Dress was held at museums in the United States and abroad. On 1stDibs, explore a range of Diane von Furstenberg apparel and accessories.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, sequins were indeed popular in the 1970s and could be seen on the dancefloors and discos of the time, along with other popular fabrics like velvet and satin. Sequins and hot pants were the go-to outfit of the disco-glam decade. Shop iconic vintage and contemporary sequin clothing from some of the world’s top boutiques on 1stDibs.
- What is 1970s furniture called?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 15, 2024What 1970s furniture is called varies. Generally, you may see pieces produced during the decade classified as "vintage" or "retro" furniture. During the 1970s, some makers continued to produce furniture that boasted the characteristics of mid-century modern works. The disco era yielded furnishings with organic, often rounded shapes, unadorned silhouettes, clean lines and a mix of materials. The showy leather furniture of the 1970s, which was both sexy and comfortable, is seeing a resurgence in today’s homes. Shop a wide variety of vintage 1970s furniture on 1stDibs.
- Are the 1970s mid-century?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 17, 2023No, the 1970s are generally not considered to fall within the era identified as mid-century. With respect to mid-century modern design, while there is some debate between collectors and design experts about the specific time period that saw the emergence of the style, most furniture enthusiasts agree that by the late 1960s, interest in MCM had largely declined. Writer Cara Greenberg, who coined the term “mid-century modernism,” suggests that “the period from the end of World War II to 1960 – from V-J Day to JFK – was the heyday of innovative furniture design in America.” Mid-century modern furniture is characterized by clean lines and inviting, organic shapes. Furniture makers of the era believed that good design was an essential part of good living. Find a variety of vintage mid-century modern furniture and decorative objects on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Go-go boots were fashionable in the late 1960s through the 1970s. A calf-length to knee-length boot became synonymous with 1960s and 1970s fashion and is still highly coveted today by fashion enthusiasts. Shop a wide range of vintage go-go boots on 1stDibs.

Shop a collection of expertly vetted vintage flapper dresses from some of the world’s top boutiques on 1stDibs.
- What is a 1940s style dress?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 5, 2021The most popular 1940s-style dress was the shirtwaist dress.

- What are 1920s dresses called?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023The iconic dresses from the 1920s are called flapper dresses. This name comes from the term flapper, which was used to describe young women during the period who enjoyed personal fulfillment and independence in American cities, particularly as they gained the right to vote and enjoy other freedoms previously reserved for men. Flappers danced at jazz clubs and upended most societal restrictions placed on women at the time, and fashion statements typically attributed to flappers included short “bob” haircuts, higher hemlines and other then-audacious style choices. Find a selection of flapper dresses on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2024There are a few options for how you should dress for a ’70s party. You can go for the hippie look with dramatic bell-bottoms, fringed jackets and vests and embroidered blouses, or try a sporty look by pairing a vintage tee with high-waisted, button-fly flared jeans and clogs or platform shoes. For a straight-from-the-disco aesthetic, look for surplice and halter dresses decked out in sequins. Men can make a 1970s-inspired statement with a leisure suit or bell-bottoms matched with a turtleneck. Aviator sunglasses are great accessories for both men and women. On 1stDibs, explore a selection of 1970s apparel and accessories.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 31, 2023In the 1990s, people dressed in different ways. Styles included grunge, modern preppy, hip-hop and goth. Some trends of the decade were slip dresses, plaid flannel shirts, long plaid skirts, overalls, combat boots and loose-fitting rolled jeans. Neon colors were popular for a time, as were fabric headbands and fabric-covered ponytail holders. Shop a selection of 90s vintage apparel and accessories on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023Which clothing style was most popular in the discos in the 1970s is open to debate. Some of the trends of the discotheque scene included sleeveless, sequined tops paired with bell bottoms and knee-length halter dresses topped off with tall go-go boots. For men, jumpsuits and leisure suits were the favorite looks. Both men and women often wore shoes with chunky heels and thick platforms. On 1stDibs, find an assortment of 1970s vintage clothing and accessories.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 20211950s-style dresses are often called poodle skirt dresses. The dress is generally a fit-and-flare shape with a wide swing skirt. Another popular type of dress is the form-fitting sheath, also known as a pencil dress.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Flapper dresses from the 1920s came in a range of colors, although darker hues such as black and navy were immensely popular.
