Meet Outfit[]
Melody with No Ordinary Sound.
Melody's outfit is intended to reflect the casual style of the early to mid-60s for African-American/Negro[1] girls.While general silhouettes of the era were alike, historically African Americans in the 1960s wore brighter, bolder colors; many white people wore pastels or muted tones, still influenced by late 50s conservative colors and styles. This did not quite change until around mid-to-later in the decade.
