I had the pleasure of writing about Emilio Pucci’s licensed commercial sewing patterns for Dress: The Journal of the Costume Society of America.
“Pucci (Paper) Patterns, 1956–73” is online now and will appear in the next print issue of Dress, vol. 48, no. 1, in Spring 2022.
Update (May ’22): Full bibliographical reference:
Sarah Sheehan, “Pucci (Paper) Patterns, 1956–73,” Dress 48.1 (2022), 85–93.
