Did you know that in 1965, a #dress caused an uproar in #Australia?
#British #model Jean Shrimpton had been invited to the 1965 #Melbourne Spring #Racing event.
When she showed up 2 hours late, the crowd was silent.
She was wearing a simple white shift dress that ended 10cm above the knee. She wore neither hat or gloves nor stockings.
The then ultra conservative, outraged Aussies were mocked by the British press, who aptly called Shrimpton “a petunia in an onion patch”.
