Paula Brooks shirt....dating help and info request re label

[laurenm]

Hi all,
Here's the last for a while as I've been leaning on your knowledge quite a bit as of late....this shirt strikes me as 1970s. I've found a reference from Jonathan in the forums re: juniors labels and Paula Brooks, but am not sure if it's the same line. I see there is a DC comics figures named Paula Brooks introduced in the 1940s....wonder if there is a connection.
Thanks alot,
Lauren

According to the trademark information for Paula Brooks, the name was first used by the Carafiol-Silverman Company in November 1936.

Lovely shirt - I have a real soft spot for those nostalgia prints from the '70s. I'd date yours as being about '75-76.
