Thoroughly Modern Millie (1967) showcases the glamorous “revolution in dress” that exploded during the roaring ‘20s. The costumes, designed by Oscar-winning costume designer Jean Louis, also highlight the resurrection of the flapper style in the 1960s with shorter dress hemlines, cropped hair and a less modest, more experimental style of dress. This era in fashion continued to be prominently showcased throughout the next few years in films such as The Boy Friend (1971) and The Great Gatsby (1974).

From the Packard Humanities Institute Collection at the Academy Film Archive, "A Thoroughly Modern Wardrobe for Thoroughly Modern Millie" is a featurette released as part of the promotion of the film. Showcasing costumes and sketches from the motion picture, the featurette offers an inside look into Jean Louis’s process for creating the wardrobe for Thoroughly Modern Millie.
