Possible vintage dress

[Miss Youngblood]

Hello

I found this dress at a thrift store and have been trying to locate its origin but cant find anything out from the label. The label says The Stroller, I thought maybe Shelton Stroller but I haven't found any labels that match. I''m not sure if its proper vintage or just a modern remake. Thank you for your help!

Hi Abigail, I am getting a bit of a late 70s - early 80s vibe off this one and also from the fabric, the label and the chevron stripes. Is that a nylon zipper up the centre front?
Lets see what the rest of the team think though to be sure

I would say 70s, I don't see this going into the 80s. I don't think it's a modern remake.

Collar & tie look very 70s to me.

Is it a maternity dress?

That open neck with the wide collar looks very middly 70s to me 75-76-77

Another vote for 70s, and I LOVE the ombred effect to the chevron/zigzag pattern...

I agree 1970s. These often had a slim belt - are there loops? I did wonder if the scarf was the belt, but I don't think it's quite long enough is it?

Thank you for all the feedback! To answer a couple questions, yes the zipper is on the front. There are no belt hole and the tie it stitched into the back of the neck on the dress. No its not a maternity dress. Again thank you everyone for the feedback!

Is the material polyester? I, too, definitely think you are safe to say 1970's. I've never seen that label before.

A bit hard to see but might give you clues on fabric. These are from 1973 and 1974.
