HELP!

I've been invited to a 70's dance party next month and NEED to make myelf a costume but haven't got any 70's fabric or trims.

If you have some retro patern fabric or bead/braid trim laying in the bottom of your rag bag or fabric stash (or your mum does!) I would love to put it to good use!

PS. I am not going to wear gold lame and leaopard skin for ANYONE. Hotpants and A-line dresses I can handle, lycra? - uh uh!
