Trying to date this vintage lime green Dior Suit

[Elizabeth Ramos-Boyce]

Hi trying to date this vintage Dior suit. The color is a lime green (chartreuse) color. Is this also 1970s?

Love the colour. This is later than 70s. Size 2 is one indication - not around in the 70s.

Are there any shoulder pads? What is the length of the skirt? Any cleaning instructions/symbols or other labels? This will all help to try and narrow down date.

The width of the skirt waist will also help.

Skirt is 20 inch length. Hem has a really pretty lace. Fully lined skirt and blazer 12 1/2 inch waist laying flat. Hip area 19 inches. NO SHOULDER PADS . All pics of labels posted. No other tags

The lack of ASTM care symbols means the suit is from before 1997. I'm seeing 90s for the suit. That color is fantastic!

It looks '90's to me. too. Great suit!

Yes, that color looks 90s to me too.

I see 90s as well.

Pretty color! That hem lace is not original. That would have been purchased and used by a seamstress when changing the hem. I don't think any manufacturers used that wide hem lace.

Agree with the others: no shoulder pads puts it post-‘93 but the labels look ‘90s to me too. Also agree skirt has been shortened. That could put it in the early to mid ‘90s as short skirt suits were popular then.
