1970s | Dusty Rose High Waist Polyester Flares - w30

Description:

Item: High waist flared trousers in dusty rose polyester. Flat front with a waistband, belt loops, zip fly fastening, and wide flared leg. Clean, even colour throughout.

Era: 1970s

Brand: —

Condition: Very good vintage condition, with light wear consistent with age and use.

Provenance Note: The high waist polyester flare in a muted, dusky pink is a very particular product of 1970s tailoring, when synthetic fabrics were being embraced for the qualities they brought rather than treated as a compromise. Polyester at this weight drapes with a fluidity and holds a crease with a precision that natural fibres at the same price point couldn't match, and the dusty rose sits in a palette that feels genuinely current. The wide flare and high waist give it the proportional generosity that defines the silhouette at its best.

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.

Buying true vintage clothing:

When buying true vintage clothing, you are buying a piece of clothing as an investment. We believe most of our true vintage items will hold or increase in value in years to come. We hope you will cherish your purchase.
