Reach For The Stars

Year: 1986

Here is yet an another entirely new look from our 80s prom collection, and it does not disappoint. Whimsical, airy, and adorned with metallic squiggles.

Oh, the 80s squiggles.

I don’t know what else to call them, but those squiggles you see here on Wendy’s bodice were everywhere. You could find metallic squiggles, pastel squiggles, even neon squiggles on everything from shirts to notebooks (Trapper Keepers) to wallpaper to, apparently, prom dresses.

I personally owned a giant white button-down shirt that had neon squiggles faux spray-painted all over it.

Squiggles were taken quite seriously. Here we see that Wendy’s squiggles inspired an entire metallic theme, right down to her shoes.

Ultimately, she and her date look like they were going to compete on Star Search.
