Sunny Choi silk ocean shirt - dating?

[plousia]

Am hoping the hive mind can help me with this. I can't get a sense of the date of this shirt, and I'm not even sure it's vintage.

Sunny Choi worked as a fashion designer till 2007, when she moved into painting. I contacted her through her website to ask about a date for this shirt some time ago, and never got an answer.

It's 100% silk with a fun underwater print of fish, crabs, shrimp, seaweed.

It must be at least 80s. Anyone have a sense of a decade for this?

Thanks in advance.

Sunny Choi only started as a designer in the very late 80s- I think 1987/88. She was best known in the 90s. Th lack of coloured icon care labels suggests to me that its mid 90s at the earliest (Canada stops using colour-coded care symbols by 1994 because of NAFTA).

Thanks Jonathan. I am unsure whether I can list this as vintage as I'm not sure it's even 20 years old. It's kind of long, might be hard to see in the pic but it's almost tunic-length on me, and I feel like the 90s were all about cropped lengths for tops, weren't they? Maybe I'll throw it up on Ebay...

I have had 90s tops the were more tunic length.
I have a Ralph Lauren skirt set and the blouse is very long, to be worn out and over sized.

Here is an example.
It also has the key hole back closure.

Oh, thanks, that does have some similarities. All right well, that gives me a bit more confidence to list it as vintage. Thank you.
