help again with 2 very nice dresses please

[carrie_courtney]

Hi And good evening, so sorry,its me again,
I have a really nice lot of what i think is early 60s clothing, i dont have much experience with this era, but i do like these very much
The first is a John Charles, i like the print best and it has a hood,which seems to look like it needs to hang on the back of the head? but im not sure?, it has a zipper front to the waist and pretty tassel long ties,and angel wing sleeves, its also very long

And the second dress again i think is early 60s, a tunic type top, but the print is wonderful, but i think the characters are from a childrens story book, i just wondered if anybody recognised the print

they both look more 70's than 60's to me

the print on the second one is similar to a Holly Hobby sort of look; it could be one of (many) prints that sprang up once HH took off in her popularity streak (early 70's)

I wouldnt call myself an expert by any means but these do look 70's to me, as well. I have a 70's maxi dress with a seperate tie jacket. The jacket has a hood. Here's some pics:

Not exactly the same but close. I agree with Mary that the style of the second dress looks early 70's.

Hello! I'm glad to meet you!

You're very welcome. Again, I'm FAR from being an expert and am still always learning myself! Soooo much to learn but I LOVE it.

Your dresses are lovely too--and so unique! I'm sure we'll be sharing a lot of knowledge back and forth over time. Have a wonderful evening!

Sincerely,
Tara

Carrie and Tara,

I would say all your dresses are 70s. Carrie, love the one with the hood!

Another vote for '70s, although I think the first one is a little earlier than the second which I'd put at mid 70s.

Tara, I love yours too! Great, bright print.
