vtgobsessed This is from 1996: From Vintage Fashion Guild: " In 1996 a New York company produced a line of clothing labeled “Claire McCardell.” This practice was challenged by the McCardell family and the company, which had closed anyway, agreed to stop production. "

drretro @vtgobsessed Agreed. Besides the very 1990 style lines, the presence of the size tag, label font and dry cleaning instructions means this was definitely NOT from the 1940s. It might help sell better if listed accurately for buyers who actually want 1990's fashion and doesn't mislead, however unintentionally, those looking for 1940's fashion. Vintage fashion can be tricky, Vintage Fashion Guild can help: https://vintagefashionguild.org/label-resource/mccardell-claire/ Happy Poshing!
