Many monochrome union labels are found post 1973, which is when the label changed to red/white/blue. Even though the &quot;official&quot; ILGWU label was now colorful, if the ILGWU union symbol was printed directly the manufacturer or care label, it was often printed in whichever color was used for that. We see this on your garment and it is also often seen on slips, swimwear, and nightwear... typical garments on which the manufacturer didn&#039;t want to use the stiff and scratchy (but colorful) separate label provided by the union.</p><p><br /></p><p>That said, I agree with early/mid 1970s for your fab dress![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
