1970s | Polyester Top | Pink - 14

Description:

Item:
Original 1970s polyester top in soft pink, with a large pointed collar, half-zip neckline and an all-over scattered rosebud print. Cut with a straight easy body and a lightly relaxed fit, giving it that very typical 1970s casual top silhouette. The oversized collar and simple pull-on shape give it a bright, playful look that feels very true to the period. As with good vintage polyester of this era, the fabric was made to hold its colour, shape and structure well, and has a very different feel and purpose to later cheap fast-fashion synthetics.

Era:
1970s

Condition:
Good vintage condition with light wear consistent with age and use. Small mark to the right arm as noted, but it presents well overall from the front.

Provenance Note:
This is a very appealing 1970s piece because it leans fully into the sweeter side of the decade without losing that clean, wearable shape. The soft pink ground, scattered floral print and exaggerated collar give it plenty of period charm, while the simple zip-front construction keeps it easy and practical. It has that cheerful everyday quality that makes vintage casualwear so enjoyable, offering a lot of visual character in a piece that still feels straightforward to wear.

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, sweaters, and padded outerwear, we grade one size down to allow for structure, lining, bulk.or layering.
