I had long forgotten these paper dresses and this tweet by Captain Brent reminded me of them.

The famous disposable paper dress for stewardesses, introduced by BOAC in 1967. Already a thing in the fashion world, these were the first to be introduced by an airline. Only used on the balmy routes between JFK & Caribbean, but winter arrivals in NYC must have been a shock 🥶 pic.twitter.com/hwOhflYWgI

Was lucky to go visit the old heritage museum at Hatton cross and was shown the complete range of dresses they had.
The place was filled to the brim with BEA,BOAC,BA,BCAL goodies and Concorde was the golden crown of items.
Sadly the heritage centre hides most of the really good stuff.
