Mad Men Countdown: Megan Draper (Calvet)

This week on Mad Men Countdown I am covering Megan Calvet nee Draper's fantastic wardrobe! Fun and a bit on the child like side Megan was a secretary in the SCDP offices who ended up on the arm of Don Draper. Quitting her job as a copywriter she then pursued her dream of being an actress. At times volatile and at the same time captivating Megan was, in my opinion, one of the best written characters on the show. Let's get to her outfits:

Number 1: Office Chic
One of the first times we see Megan is in a private focus group. Look at how polished and put together she looks.


Number 2: Pretty in Pink
Normally we don't see Megan in alot of patterns to begin with. She like Joan is a solid block of color, usually. I really do like this dress though.



 Number 3: Bikini Babe
In need of a sitter while in California, Don hires Megan to come with him and kids. Here is she in a bikini (which Don bitched Betty out about not a few seasons ago).



 Number 4: Just Checking Dress
Megan plans to meet up with an old friend while in California. She makes sure to "stop by" to make sure Don doesn't need anything.




 Number 5: Chains in Peach

Megan tends to dress in highly feminine/ very bright colors. Peach or pink is very popular for her.



 Number 6: Howard Johnson Dress:
Love this outfit. Now that she is married to Don she is definitely stepping up her clothing game.



 Number 7: California Dreaming
This shot is pure Hollywood Glamour. Meant to showcase her success in California, Megan is dressed to kill in this powder blue mini dress with sheer long sleeves. This is the cutting edge of fashion for the late 60's.




Number 8: Lame' Awards Dress
Ok, Whose grandma had a lame' dress like this one in their closet? The Eastern influences hit the 60s fashion scene hard, and here she is attending an awards banquet in this pink and gold gown. Also, note how much hair she has going on.




Number 9: Bisouix Dress
THIS DRESS....Megan performs a song and dance for Don at his surprise b-day party. Note that this silouhette is almost exactly like her powder blue dress from earlier. This is the height of cutting edge evening wear for the mid to late 60s.
