    handmade and unlined with a metal zipper

    the tie at the back of the neck is attached (not sure how it ties)

    interesting drop waist with pleats

    it feels like silk IMG_7379.JPG IMG_7381.JPG IMG_7380.JPG

    I'm bumping this because I really like this dress and want to see what others think. I thought the shape looked 40s but the neckline looked 60s. What is the fabric?
     
  3. Hi Jen, yes, the neckline is a rolled bias collar. They were popular in the '60s. I've never seen one in another era. I have seen dresses like this from the '60s. The pattern and colour look '60s too.

    I don't see 40s at all. Not sure these pieces in the back are meant to tie - just meant to be a floating panel? I'm guessing 60s - the earlier half.
