MPX5088219: What do you wear when the sun really shines as though it means it, and you mean to enjoy it? From St. Tropez to Southend, the girls are covering up in long, drifting skirts in the prettiest possible prints. The newest are made on dirndl lines, gathered into a tight waist that is often shirred. Then they add the barest little tee-shirt tops they can find and top the lot with a demure straw hat dripping with flowers. If you prefer something briefer, there are some great new sundresses and playsuits. Cut on real glamour girl lines with halter necklines and bare backs, they are in complete contrast to the almost Victorian look of long skirts. July 1973 / Bridgeman Images
