dolly bird
Mod fashion icon
A dolly bird is British slang, now dated, for an attractive young woman, especially one who is fashionably dressed and somewhat frivolous.
The term evokes the swinging London scene of the 1960s—miniskirts, go-go boots, and carefree style: She looked like a dolly bird straight out of Carnaby Street.
Using it today sounds either nostalgic or patronizing.
