PS: they were also worn by women who had a gimp or prosthesis.

They are late 20s - the heel shape is the late 1920s 'Spanish' heel. Tall laced and button boots weren't common after about 1924 but tall boots were still being made. There was a fetish quality to them (especially with the high heels) and are often seen in naughty postcard images... These show a...

Late 70s

It reminded me of the dress Geena Davis wore in Beetlejuice, but I looked it up and it had a looser waist, but the print is very similar:

Looks 80s to me - I remember they were popular with women who wanted a vintage look and saw them worn with straw hats and flat shoes

Nice piece! I see a robe too as it would require a sash to close it. If it was a coat I would expect a buckled belt or a button at the hip to close it.

What she really did was buy an old dress for the fabric. Every dress can't be saved -- if it had stained underarms it would be easier to appreciate her transformation but it was a great condition, albeit just an average nylon taffeta cocktail dress from the 1950s... What is worse is when someone...

It looks early 80s to me with the full sleeve and skirt, especially if its made from corduroy - I dont' recall corduroy being used much past 1982...

The heavy guipure lace midriff, the bishop sleeves, nylon zipper, and that bright coral colour add up to c. 1967 - 1971

It looks early 50s to me.

That's a great candidate for restoration as its beaded onto net. The entire dress can be appliqued onto a new net dress. It will take a lot of time but you would end up with a fantastic dress. The ones beaded onto silk chiffon are hopeless - nothing you can do but save the beads - this one can...

It looks like a 1930s summer evening jacket - probably went over a simple slip type dress that you could wear while dancing and then you put this on at dinner or to arrive/leave. They were popular middly-late 30s 34-38ish

It's definitely inspired by Kente cloth but its printed, not woven, so its not real. It would look great on a black woman with a HUGE afro!
