60s or 80s? Date help on shift dress

[VintageFray]

I'm having doubts about dating this dress...first thought was 60s, but the print is making me doubt that date. Was wondering if anyone can confirm it for me? Thank you!

Are there any other labels, like a care label?

 

[VintageFray]

No, thats the only label on the dress

Do you have it pinned back? If not, there is no way that is a modern size 14. I would sway toward 60s if that were the case.

 

[VintageFray]

No, I don’t have it pinned back. I haven’t measured it yet, but my guess would be that its closer to a Uk 10-12.

I vote 80s

 

[VintageFray]

any more votes for 80s?

 

[fuzzylizzie]

What's the bust measurement?

 

[BagDiva]

the mix of print and the colourway, l vote for 80's too..

I think there is something very 80's about it, too. In addition to the label weave and font.

It looks 80's and the computerized number 14 on the label confirms it's 80's or later. I dont think you would have a pixellated font on a label before that.

Thanks everyone for your input! The bust measurements is 37", which actually measured up larger than I thought it would. 80s it is! Thanks again!
