Hi all!! I would love some help dating this dress.
there are no brand tags, but there are a few care tags that I’ve included photos of. The material is polyamid. Thank you in advance! IMG_5940.jpegIMG_5939.jpegIMG_5938.jpegIMG_5937.jpegIMG_5935.jpegIMG_5934.jpegIMG_5933.jpegIMG_5932.jpegIMG_5931.jpegIMG_5930.jpegIMG_5928.jpeg
 
Hi, sorry to create any doubt but I can't see 70s, 80s at least.
Look at the zipper. Look at the label, the font. That fiber, while invented in the 30s I'm pretty sure, was QUITE prevalent in use in the 70s, latter.

The style of dress fits into the era... that front pleat was common then. The length too, for that crisp professional look. Dress probably came with a little matching jacket, as was common then.

But I'm not handling it, just giving you what I see from the photos here and offering my experience. Take care.

You may well be correct I just can't see 70s.

Polyimide is still in use although I don't come across it that often.

What causing me to question is I have seen and known that front pleat on 80s summer dresses. :)
 
I totally see 70s as a possibility. Front pleats were very popular then, the 40s... they have a style revival often. But what do I know? You're holding it and I'm looking at a screen and offering what I can from my years of selling experience. Again, best of luck figuring it out.
I think the person suggesting 80s and the dress owner are different users.
