In 1965 Eltham was more like a country town than the suburb it has become today. People knew each other, if not personally then certainly of the family name. The big event for the year was a Gymkhana or show at Lower Eltham Park. I can remember marching as a teenager from the town centre to the park in the marching girls with the decorated floats. In 1965, just on a whim on the day, I decided to enter the Miss Eltham Show Girl which was a part of the festivities at the park. I seem to remember that the show mainly consisted of horse events, cattle judging and dog show. As I had not given any serious thought to entering the competition, I wore a suit that I had for work which was brown wool, with a coffee coloured shirt under, black shoes, bag, and gloves but no hat. I duly paraded for the judges and much to my surprise I was announced the winner. I eventually went on to compete at the Miss Victoria Show Girl competition which was held at the Royal Melbourne Show. There I met many country girls who were representing their rural Victoria home. I made it into a final round of judging but I think justice prevailed when someone from a country background was crowned. It was fun to go into the show as I had not really been before and to see the displays of handcraft, cooking and wood chopping events was great as well as the judging of farm animals interesting.Digital file only - Newsclipping on loan for scanning by EDHSeltham lower park, joy chapman, lyons garage, margaret harding, miss eltham 1965, miss victoria show girl, show girl competition -

... glamour. Pleating, pussy bows, blouson sleeves, and cinched, belted waists became definitive hallmarks of her later labels. This specific garment mirrors that exact 1970s transition—balancing standard office-appropriate coverage with a romantic, flowing aesthetic. Often celebrated as the "Golden Girl ...During the 1970s, iconic Australian fashion designer Prue Acton transitioned from her ultra-short 1960s mod mini dresses into softer, longer silhouettes. Her 1970s collections frequently embraced fluid materials like jersey, crepe, and chiffon to reflect the era's shift toward bohemian elegance and relaxed glamour. Pleating, pussy bows, blouson sleeves, and cinched, belted waists became definitive hallmarks of her later labels. This specific garment mirrors that exact 1970s transition—balancing standard office-appropriate coverage with a romantic, flowing aesthetic.Often celebrated as the "Golden Girl of Australian Fashion," Prue Acton was instrumental in putting Australian design on the global stage. She was the first Australian designer to successfully break into the highly competitive New York market and show her collections commercially overseas. Her 1970s designs remain significant as they captured a pivotal era of female empowerment, offering women versatile, high-fashion styles that seamlessly moved from professional daytime workwear to evening elegance.The garment is a monochromatic midi-length dress in a soft, dusty pink hue. It features a modest mock neckline and fluid, long bishop sleeves that taper into structured cuffs. The bodice remains unstructured and smoothly gives way to a defined waistline, accentuated by a matching fabric sash tied into a bow. From the waist down, the skirt drops into a highly structured, crisp accordion pleated design, creating a classic A-line silhouette with graceful movementLabel: "Prue Acton" [Silver label]fashion - melbourne - 1970s, prue acton
