Clara's Forgotten Wardrobe

1970s fashion history and why old pieces are back in style

Adults, mostly women, who remember or are curious about American clothing and manners from the 1950s to the 1970s, and shoppers who want to wear vintage-style pieces now (inferred from titles, the about text and captions; there are no audience statistics).

• Realistic avatar
• Photorealistic women in 1970s outfits (feathered hair, floral blouses, corduroy, denim) in warm retro rooms; the 1950s etiquette videos use women in period dress. The avatar is a dark-haired woman in a pink cardigan with flags and a map behind her; the banner shows a woman seated in a wood-paneled living room.

One garment or etiquette custom per video, told as history: a hook about the viewer's closet, the host introducing herself with old catalogues, a short plug for her illustrated books, dated facts by section, a 'try this week' task and a question for the comments.

Fashion videos 25-30 min (two 7-9 min); etiquette ones mostly 29-56 min
