How can we age this dress?
We can age this dress by the ILGWU label that is attached. We know that the womenswear with the blue label and the (r) were manufacturered between 1964 and 1973. The style of this dress indicates it was made in the late 60s

Founded in 1900, the International Ladiesā€™ Garment Workersā€™ Union (ILGWU) was a pioneering force in US labor history, championing the rights of women in the garment industry. Despite harsh conditions and low pay, the union provided a platform for collective action, advocating for improved working conditions, fair wages, and gender equality. Through its efforts, the ILGWU significantly influenced labor standards and worker rights, leaving a lasting legacy in American history.
