1970s | Blue Wool Blend Skirt - w256

Description:

Item: Original 1970s skirt in a deep blue wool blend, cut in a clean, lightly tapered shape with a simple high-waisted line and understated side slit detail. A very pared-back piece that relies on good cut and strong colour rather than decoration, giving it that sharp, useful 1970s daywear feel. Easy to style and very wearable, with a neat silhouette that sits well as part of a smarter outfit or with more casual separates.

Era: 1970s

Condition: Very good vintage condition. Presents well overall with a clean line, strong colour and only light, honest signs of age and wear. Nothing that detracts from the overall look.

Provenance Note: Good plain skirts like this are often the pieces that end up being worn most, because they bring the right shape and cloth without asking too much of the rest of the outfit. The appeal here is in the simplicity: a strong 1970s line, a useful wool blend fabric and a rich blue tone that gives it quiet depth. It has the sort of understated vintage quality that works across seasons and sits naturally with knitwear, shirts or tailoring, which is exactly why well-cut plain skirts from the period are always worth picking out.

Condition Notes:

Please be aware. All our true vintage items come with a history, and minor signs of age, wear, or character should be expected. Any notable marks, damage, or repairs will always be clearly mentioned. This natural wear is part of what gives genuine vintage its individuality and authenticity. True vintage should not be confused with modern second-hand clothing

We photograph all garments using a professional, studio-grade imaging system designed to show colour, texture, and shape as accurately as possible. This setup was built specifically to give a true representation of each piece and avoid misleading presentation; however, we do not take photos of inside the garment. While we take great care in inspecting every piece, with true vintage it is always possible that a minor detail may be missed.

Sizing Notes:

Please compare these measurements to a similar item you already own, laid flat (rather than measuring your body). Start with the bust measurement, then check length. Vintage sizing runs small and cuts vary significantly from modern equivalents, so the measurements listed are the best guide to fit.

Our modern sizing estimates are based on bust measurements using the following sizing scale:

UK 6 (30–31")

UK 8 (32–33")

UK 10 (34–35")

UK 12 (36–37")

UK 14 (38–39")

UK 16 (40–41")

UK 18 (42–43")

UK 20 (44–45")

For jackets, knitwear, and padded outerwear, we grade one size down to allow for structure, lining, and bulk.
