Outfits Inspired by Dirty Dancing

My mother and I disagree when it comes to our taste in movies. Whenever an argument about what chick flick to watch arises, however, there is one film we always agree on: the 1987 hit romance, Dirty Dancing. Starring Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey, the movie tells the story of a young tourist girl who falls head-over-heels for a mysterious dance instructor. The film was a massive success at the box office, and since its release, has only gained popularity. Although the costumes in the movie are simple and laid-back, their overall appeal is undeniable.
