Help dating Diane von Furstenberg Career (?) dress

[LaurenMG]

Hi Everyone,
Wondering if this is 80s or 90s or later? Also, would you call this a 'career' or tunic or what?
Thanks for any help
Lauren

'Made in China' silk shirts, blouses and dresses were HUGELY popular c. 1990-92ish. I bought several at the time, all in jewel tones, and they were the worst to keep up because even if you washed them in icy cold water, the colour ran and there was no way I was going to dryclean a silk shirt everytime I wore it.

I remember those days,...I thought I was "fancy" wearing my jewel-toned shirts, until they looked like a dull dish rag after the first wash. I did manage to 'revive' a black 90s Escada silk blouse that I thrifted, thanks to the info in this forum (Denisebrain, I think)

The belt needs to be pulled through the channel, to make a waistline and to give it a shirtwaist style.
