I am getting married this summer and we are having a 70's theme. The whole thing is based around a powder blue tux with ruffle shirt. The 70's had a wide range of fashion trends and I can't seem to find out what part of the 70's we need to focus on - early, mid, late? It will make all the difference in what I wear and what we request our guests to wear.

Hi Janet, I am planning a mock wedding for a couple married 50 years. Could you advise me on fashions for the bridal party? Were poodle skirts a 50's style? Your suggestions may be humorous since this is a mock wedding and the script has a great deal of wit in it.

Hi Janet, in August 2002 I will attend my parent's 50th wedding anniversary, it's a big event in town, they also celebrate the 150th anniversary of my town and we have to dress like my parents and their guests did in 1952. We will be driven by horses and antique car, it's in the country side (farmer) of Quebec, Canada. Do you have any idea what I should wear? What should my husband and our son, who will be almost 5 next year, wear?

I have a dilemma, well a number of dilemmas really. Being a dapper boy, I am most interested in the history of men's fashion. But alas, finding a good resource has proved impossible. I am interested in the history and variation of men's suits, in particlar those made in the 60s by Pierre Cardin (it's often forgot that he was a men's designer as well!)

My friend is getting married and she wants the theme to be 1940s swing. She was thinking of having the wedding party dress to that theme. Do you have clothing examples that would be appropriate for a wedding?
