Last one, handmade with no label, I think 60s...

    But my luck someone made it yesterday lol. Love the colors though!

    Material is quite light, makes a swishy sound when rubbed together. Is it too light to be polyester?

    Probably a polyester of some kind and early 1970s.

    That's a wild and wonderful print IMHO!

    You have some nice inseams to grab a snippet of fabric for a thread-burn test (how to do: https://vintagefashionguild.org/determining-fiber/)
    The most likely fiber suspects are nylon, polyester, and acetate, or a blend. And I agree with Cin that it looks early 70s.

    Thank you! Fabric is so thin, it couldn't be worn without a slip. I appreciate that feedback, and have been hesitant about burn testing but I think it's inevitable. I have way too many unbranded handmade items at this point and mysteries to solve.
