    I have exhausted my sleuthing skills but trying to decipher and learn about it

    the gown is light minty green and silk with lace trim, simple and sleeveless with a high neck

    here is the tag and I can tell it's an address but can't make out the name/find info on it

    any ideas?

    thanks friends! IMG_7057.JPG

    Can you please post a photo of the full piece too...it helps to establish the date.

    Thanks, on first glance it looks 60s but I think it may well be older as there appears to be more fullness to the body of the nightgown than you would see in a 60s nightie. It looks like beautiful silk! A nice find!

    More opinions are sure to follow.

    Very pretty (and much nicer than what I usually find in vintage Italian lingerie)! I would have said 50s or 60s. Couldn't find anything on the name, the address though is in the city center of Florence, so my guess is that this would have been a "better" shop.

    The label looks to me like "Tecla Melli" and whether or not this is related I found this Italian company information...
