Vintage Christian Dior blouse - please help ❤️

[Ryann]

Hi everyone,

I recently acquired this blouse and I was looking for any information anyone has. Authenticity, time period? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Cute blouse! I see early 1970s secretary.
As for authenticity, per forum rules we do not authenticate items.

Oh ok! Thanks for your reply.

You blouse has the IGLWU label that was used from 1963-1974.

Does it have a cleaning care label? If not it is pre-1972 when care labels were required. I think it might be mid-60's with the fiber content combination but the Union label gives you a good ball park.

Thank you so much! That was so informative and helpful.

Looks more like a tunic than a blouse, to me. Seems too long to tuck into a skirt or slacks?

I am not at all familiar with that "made in the USA" and USA Union made Dior label. The only thing I recall having seen anything similar was on lingerie back in the 70s (if I recall correctly) Perhaps this was some limited time licensing thing when Dior was looking to reach a larger and lower end market?

The inexpensive fabric of nylon/poly seems more for lounging wear, as does the length.

That makes a lot of sense, thank you!
