Hi, and thanks for posting! The brand "Issue New York" is a modern brand. Here is an example of their label in another modern dress
Regardless, your dress is really unique and has a 1960's vibe, wear it and enjoy it!

oh no!! I had a sneaking suspicion that was the case. I still love it but I would love if my local vintage store had vintage items
All that matters is that you love it! You also did great by buying second hand and giving it a second chance at life, vintage or not!oh no!! I had a sneaking suspicion that was the case. I still love it but I would love if my local vintage store had vintage items

There isn't a lot of information about these fast fashion brands because their websites are vague and obscure as to where the items are designed and made. I actually think these have potential in future museum exhibitions - so I am beginning to acquire some examples of these designs. I don't think I have ever seen one worn in real life, so I am guessing they are for club wear, and maybe things like hen parties. Anyway, these types of crazy designs, poorly sewn party frocks are very early 21st century, and worth considering for collectors and future sales, when they become retro... IMHO.
Intriguing to see the inside and the absence of serged seams.
This particular company’s website says “all our garments are locally designed and manufactured in New York City”. And they are not inexpensive.

Surprising that they aren't made overseas, but that explains the lack of serving - in order to compete, they have to cut corners.
