We have an exact match for the sizing label on a late 70s label in label resource.

We discussed Made In Carno in another thread and reckoned it probably was phased out during the 80s and wasn’t common even in the early 80s. They opened a second factory 1984 and so Carno was no longer their only manufacturing place. I don’t think we’ve ever seen a Made In Carno from the 90s...

I think it’s earlier than that. Made in Carno Wales I believe denotes late 70s, (or possibly early 80s?) - as per the late 70s Carno label in the label resource, which appears to be an exact match for the size and fabric label here, although the button is covering up the logo part. To me the...

I agree with early 80s, or maybe late 70s. The lack of a drying symbol usually means no later than mid-80s (there are exceptions). If it is grey, I think it may have faded from black.

Amazing! Can we see the spider a little more closely?

I think some of us would definitely like to see an old baby book :)

Mid 80s in the UK.

Yes, the HLCC system included the (P) from 1976. However I'm not sure that means it was never used before 1976 in the UK. It was definitely in use earlier in Europe - the Netherlands registered it from at least 1960, so it wasn't invented by HLCC, and I wonder if their system was standardisation...

I suppose it could be early 80s. But 5% other fibres - there was a time when being so non specific about a fibre was acceptable, and then later that wouldn't have been allowed. I don't know exactly when that changed, but I'm not sure I've seen that on 80s garments much. Similarly Made In Great...

Looks 1970s by those labels.

Agree with early 70s. Very cute dress. The label with the red background to the logo is similar to the 1972 dress in label resource. Agree if there’s other labels or anything on the back of that label that might tell us more.

That works well done

I’m not sure why they aren’t showing, perhaps imgur hosting isn’t compatible with our forums for some reason . If you are able to upload rather than link, it would help you get a response. however there’s nothing suspicious about the links if anyone doesn’t mind clicking. It’s just a well...

I can’t advise on cleaning but just wanted to say how beautiful these are. Wonderful work.

My hunch is early to mid 80s. Probably not any later than that, by the care labels. very nice. I can’t see anything that suggests custom made.

You could look at Irregular Choice shoes who do really whacky heels. Not quite like your desired fish shoes, but lots of novelty heels. ETA they are a UK brand which started in the late 1990s Eg squirrels

Hmm, not my area of expertise, but I'm sure you realise, the tag could have come from a different hat, and ended up with this hat somehow over the years. given there’s nothing on the actual hat to indicate it’s by Dior, I don’t think you can be sure that there’s a connection between Dior and...

I was also thinking 90s rather than 70s. Because of the overall shape, but also I have this idea that the 70s hippy wear tends to have symmetrical pattern placement, whereas by the 90s manufacturers didn't always bother so much with that. So, your bodice, one side different to the other, doesn't...

In the UK care labels were usually there in the early 70s, and even the late 60s. So its absence suggests it might have been removed, rather than an earlier date.

@Ranch Queen Vintage tagging you about potential label submission.

Would a late 70s dress have shoulder pads? I'm wondering if it's early 80s. Here's our label resource entry on Hardy Amies: https://vintagefashionguild.org/resources/item/label/amies-hardy/ We don't have this label. If we could nail down the date, it would be good to add it, if you are...

Think V waist, or dropped waist, very full skirt perhaps tiered, fitted bodice, off the shoulder, or puffed shoulders. You can find this is mid 19th Century and the 1940s, especially evening wear.

It was a bit like this though - the one at the front - 1940s pattern

Sorry it's so long ago I don't have the photo's anymore.

I do believe there was a Victorian revival look in the 1940s. I had a late 1940s evening dress once that was very 'Victoriana'
