Would you say 60s or 70s on this one-shoulder maxi?

    Love the print! It's handmade with a side metal zipper. I wasn't sure if it's more towards the late 60s or into the 70s? If you know, could you help me understand how to tell the difference?

    Thanks :)

    I'm seeing more of a 60s line with that waist.

    What is the fabric? Polyester, nylon, rayon, cotton, etc? That will give a clue. I agree that it is much more 60s in line than early 70s, but as it is home made one cannot always be sure.

    To me the colors in the print appear to be more 60's.

  5. I agree with Barbara in that it will help to know the fabric.

    The print is similar to ones my mum wore in about '72.

    Sometimes it can be hard to tell between late '60s and early '70s as there was a lot of overlap in fashions at this time.

    Thanks for the replies :) I'm not a really sure what material it is! I did the burn test and it burned really week and didn't self-extinguish. It left behind a hardish black ball that could be crumbled into a dark ash, although it didn't easily crumble.
