Hi Everyone,
Wondering where this might sit in the 60s-70s spectrum?
Thanks in advance.

The wild over-sized Mucha-like nouveau pattern suggests early 70s to me - and the combination of a high neck and no sleeves with the body conscious shape also suggests 70-71. I think of late 60s as long sleeved, full skirted and more often with plunging necklines.
 
Great print, and I'm with Jonathan on this one--early 70s. I think it could be just a hair later than 70/71. The fabric looks like an acetate jersey, and I remember that being very popular when I was working in a fabric store in 1974. And the psychedelic prints were still popular then, too.

The best I can do as far as narrowing it down would be 1970 to 73/74, but I doubt any later than that.
