In 1970, PSA introduced a form-fitting polyester princess-line dress with a matching jacket, complemented by either a heart-shaped hat or dome-style hat and a choice of boots or pumps. According to the company’s 1970 Annual Report, “The eye- catching pink and apricot color combination was chosen to flatter the fresh and youthful “California Look” of PSA’s beautiful stewardesses while the futuristic style reflects the forward-looking philosophy of the airline.” In 1972, the uniform was updated with several minor color changes and a swirl pattern on the front of the dress and jacket. #WomenInAviation See more airline fashion in "#FashionInFlight: A History of Airline Uniform Design", on display, pre-security in the Aviation Museum and in the Main Hall of the International Terminal. http://bit.ly/fashioninflight PSA stewardesses serve cocktails in a Lockheed L-1011 cabin mockup 1972 PSA 1972 Annual Report SFO Museum Gift of the William Hough Collection 2006.010.047.002
