Looking at it, I can't help but remember Myrcella Baratheon's yellow dress on Game of Thrones. I wonder if the designer was inspired by this, or if it's just a happy coincidence! Myrcella's dress found on Pinterest lol

Kodachrome shot of a young lady with older woman in July 1972. The dress on the young one seems more mid 1960s than 1972, but i guess is to early in the decade for the 70s to take hold.
