Another Look at Alfred Shaheen

Just wanted to share this with y'all.

This is from a long lounger. It's different in that the fabric is a kind of nylon blend. Almost like curtain sheers. LOL

The screen printing is done in metallic silver & the pink & olive have a kind of flocked feeling to them.

Enjoy!

This nehru collar makes me think it's a 70's piece, but I've never seen Shaheen on nylon before.

Unfortunately - the garment is in pretty bad shape. Lots of pulls,etc, but I'm trying to figure out a way to salvage the fabric, anyway.

That is so nice and pink, too. Can you steam the fabric to work out the pulls? I have only had one Shaheen. Sold it last year.
 
The gold is very pretty on the pink Leisa. Do you have a full pic of it?

you might be surprised though..if it has a couple of pulls but otherwise has no tearing/staining/shattering someone who is a big shaheen fan might love it just to wear for every day or "kicking around" clothes. i ceratinly don't see the damage form the pics. if they collect shaheen they might not to wear their pieces for other than special occassion for risk of getting them ruined. I wear most of my vintage, but some people strictly collect and wear only certain pieces.

Ooo, I had one and have seen a couple on eBay that were similar to mine. Mine had the same "...the Master Printer" tag, was on a semi-sheer synthetic ground, and used metallic silver.

My guess was just late-60s/early-70s.
