I need lots of help with this one. I'm thinking 50's or 60's? What do you call this sleeve style? Also, the buttons are fabulous and I'm wondering how to describe them. Thanks:)

Hi, the wool mark logo would make it 1964 or later. I don't think it's far off, definetly not far into the 70's. I love the buttons too! they remind me of the Orangina logo. Assuming they are plastic I would go with faux carved dome buttons.
I can't quite see if there is a seam in the sleeve photo between the underarm and shoulder, if not you could call it a raglan sleeve.

Thanks! The buttons are plastic, and there is no seam between the shoulder and underarm. Apologies for the photo quality.
 
Very pretty Robin. I think that's a Canadian union label there. Is that right? If so that was used from 68-84. I can't tell from those photos if the sleeve is just a raglan style that connects at the collar or if it is a dolman style that has extra fabric under the arm. The length of the sleeves look 3/4 length which was popular in the 60s so I would guess that this was most likely late 60s to early 70s.

Here's a link to the union labels so you can check to see if your union label is shown there;
