    I've been researching this piece for quite some time now, which has always lead me to a dead end, unfortunately. Having trouble finding a single one with the same print or style -- almost feels like it doesn't exist, to be honest! Has anyone come across this print and/or style before that can help me? Much thanks!

    Edit: I should also add that there is no signature on the fabric, as I've seen on others. I know that they also sold patterns, fabrics, and labels for DIY. It also does look handmade. I have seen a swimsuit w/the same colors and similar print, but still different. So I'm definitely considering the possibility that this is a homemade dress using fabric that is not Alfred Shaheen. Any input would be very helpful, thanks!

    Sweet dress! I know they sold patterns and fabrics too, though I don't know a lot more abou Shaheen. Since the label itself says "stores" below the name, that would to me point to a commercially made garment though. The colors look 70s to me. I hope someone who knows more about Shaheen than me will comment as well.

    It looks '70's to me, too, and the label does match the one in the LR.

    As we used to call those colors in the old 1990s vintage collecting days........"peas and carrots! Very 1970s!

    Dear Lord, did I just refer to the 1990s as OLD?????
