Early 60s or 70s? Illusion Harem Pant Jumpsuit

What a find! I love how unique this piece is; I'm excited to list it. I am wondering though about how exactly to list it. It looks like to me like an early 60s type of look; yet it has the Union Made label from the 60s/70s; this easily could be a later piece from the 70s.

Also, do you think the "Illusion Harem Pant Jumpsuit" is a good title/description? If not I'm open to suggestions. Thank you!

Very cool jumpsuit! Because I doubt if many buyers will be searching for "Illusion Harem Pant Jumpsuit" I would probably not put "Illusion" as one of my first key search words. I do agree "Harlem Pant Jumpsuit" are all good search key words.

Red white and blue Union labels first came into use in the 1970s. Here a link to the VFG's ILGWU labels...

Gosh, the girl in one of my fave dance couples on Dance Fever was wearing something nearly identical in white. :wub:
 
I see early 1980s, think of Irene Cara and her famous harem pants (spelling?) in the time around Flashdance. 1983 - 1984. Also I remember that loose draped, peg legged leg jumpsuits were briefly in style around 1985 (but full length, not mid calf or harem style) so I would put it somewhere between 1983 and 1985.
 
Dance Fever was on from 79-87 so you're probably right about the early 80s Barbara. I'm guessing about 81-82 when that couple was on because I rarely watched the show after I turned 14.
