I love this dress because it has an International Ladies Garment - TopicsExpress



          

I love this dress because it has an International Ladies Garment Workers Union tag. Formed in 1900 in New York City, this conglomerate of seven smaller unions was a manufacturing powerhouse even through the Great Depression. Here is a jingle the ILGWU released in the 1970s to encourage buying of union-made garments: Look for the union label When you are buying a coat, dress, or blouse, Remember somewhere our union’s sewing, Our wages going to feed the kids and run the house, We work hard, but who’s complaining? Thanks to the ILG, we’re paying our way, So always look for the union label, It says we’re able to make it in the USA! 1970s Teal Dress with Ruffled Front. $30
