Definitely from that 1987-1992 area. Love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blast-from-the-past#post-2058165 Thu, 05 Sep 2019 08:11:16 +0000 anne 2058165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The pattern may well have been designed in 1993 or earlier. Interesting so many of you had similar dresses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blast-from-the-past#post-2058162 Thu, 05 Sep 2019 07:33:24 +0000 Jenni NZ 2058162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also thought 1993 because the shoulders are so similar to a loved red dress I bought in early 1993. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blast-from-the-past#post-2058150 Thu, 05 Sep 2019 03:51:55 +0000 Gigi 2058150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for 1993! I give that year because I had a similar dress, only in black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blast-from-the-past#post-2058145 Thu, 05 Sep 2019 03:12:24 +0000 nuancedream 2058145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll guess 1992 and it looks fabulous on you, anne. I had a very similar dress. Knockout color, BTW!!&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blast-from-the-past#post-2058144 Thu, 05 Sep 2019 03:04:13 +0000 anne 2058144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all. Mirjanja<br /> yes I was too young to wear what I think of as office wear in the 80s. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blast-from-the-past#post-2058134 Thu, 05 Sep 2019 02:21:30 +0000 Jaime 2058134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not going to outguess the experts but it looks terrific on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blast-from-the-past#post-2058129 Thu, 05 Sep 2019 02:12:25 +0000 bj1111 2058129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So outstandingly modern retro. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blast-from-the-past#post-2058027 Wed, 04 Sep 2019 17:04:44 +0000 Anonymous 2058027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great on you!

These shoes look better from the side, but I can wear animal print shoes.<br /> Kathie and torontogirl very close. It was *made in 1996, but my inspiration was from a dress I saw in 1990 worn by a teacher at a class dinner. I was a younger woman at work wearing a dress that reminded me of it a few months ago so I pulled it out. </p> <p>* I bought the pattern and material for this and another dress in a period of unemployment after travelling. I made the other one, started this and then got a job and was so busy that my mum finished it off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blast-from-the-past#post-2057948 Wed, 04 Sep 2019 13:29:37 +0000 Helena 2057948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm going early 90s? 91 maybe?
