Era of these Pucci skirts? 60's or 70's?

[amandainvermont]

I actually picked these up more than a year ago, but I am now going to ready them for listing (Sorry for initial quick shots.) So - what era do you think? They are knee length.

Nice finds, Amanda!

I'm feeling 70s.

 

[joules]

Another vote for 70s. Very cute skirts!

 

[Linn]

I think they are from the late '60's. The label matches the late '60's label in the LR.

 

[themerchantsofvintage]

The label also matches those from the early to mid 70s, albeit there may be a difference in colour.
The cut speaks to 70s, too.

Amanda, are both exactly the same style? And, what do the waistbands look like?

 

[Rue_de_la_Paix]

I see 1960s.

 

[amandainvermont]

They are both exactly the same cut. There is a high 2 inch waist band and a flare skirt (96 inch sweep) , 27 inches long. I think it's safe to say late 60's -early 70's.

Another one of our members had the exact same skirt as the one on the left, Amanda:

I hesitate to call mine A-lines, as they really flare more. That's why I was going to give the sweep. Deborah, that one is a beauty and it's a maxi. I can't find many knee length Pucci skirts of this type/era.

I can't find many knee length Pucci skirts of this type/era.

I was surprised at how litter there were, too. Your proposal is a good one:

I think it's safe to say late 60's -early 70's.

Are you going to do eBay? They should do well.

 

[MyVintageCocktail]

I think you're safe with late 60s/early 70s. To me, the one on the left looks more 60s-ish, the one on the right more 70s-ish--due to the prints and the colors on each. But they must be from the same year if they're exactly the same?

What confuses me is the size 6. Was this a size in the 60s 70s?

 

[poppysvintageclothing]

Amanda, just send them to me, so I can take a really "good" look!!!

Love both of these....Are you planning to pose them on your manni?
That might help to really get to see the cut of these.

Suzanne -

There was a size 6 in the '60's and '70's and in the late '50's, too. Size 6 in the '60's was the smallest Misses size. I don't think size 4 started until the '80's and size 2 and smaller in the late '90's followed by size 0!

Amanda - what is the waist size?

I am going out on a limb and say that one on the right is mid 60s, circa 1966-1967. Those colors are SO mid 60s...the hot sherbet colors were SO very popular that I cannot see Pucci doing them again in the late 60s-70s, but who knows? The one on the left looks more late 60s to early 70s in the print, but if they are both the same, then maybe it is earlier too.

Also, by 1970 skirts were pretty short, the mini was still very much "in", (as well as the maxi and soon to come midi) but a knee length skirt in the early 70s would be considered kind of dowdy. Unless it was worn by an older conservative woman.

In the mid 60s knee length was more common, even for young women, so that helps me to think that your skirts are earlier. Plus the sherbet colors are just convincing me of mid 60s too.

 

[Circa Vintage Clothing]

Barbara's right about the skirt lengths, but knee length came back around '75-78.

Personally I think the one with the label has far too much information for '60s so I'd be inclined to put them as early to mid '70s but then I had a '60s Pucci with those pinks and greens. It can often be hard to split up late '60s and early '70s I find.

Gorgeous prints!

Nothing to add to the many sage words of wisdom above, just...

 

[Leisa]

Nothing about Pucci from me, but I do know that size 2 & 4 were available in the 60s because I wore them c. 1965.
High end stuff.

Totally agree with Nicole on all points, and it was the amount of label information that was striking me as 70s as well, at first glance.
