A google lens search reveals several like yours, including THIS one with original box and showing the label.
Unfortunately, no one states the date it was produced, if that's what you were hoping to find out.
Miss V was a lower-priced ready-to-wear line for Valentino, available in department stores.
Your label matches an early 1990s example in our Label Resource.

Just popping in to say I think it's KII... K eye-eye, not K ell-ell. (I don't know which you searched.)
When I google the words vintage "KII" maxi dress, with KII in quotes, there are quite a few results. :)
I read the double capital i as the roman numeral two. It's possible the manufacturer...

Beautiful gown!
I'm in the 90s camp. The labeling, the nylon zipper, appear much newer than 50s to me.
I think a 50s gown would have had a metal zip or actual functioning buttons.
I know nothing about Vivian Westwood accessories or their authenticity, but googling produced the following:
THIS Reddit thread says it was a 2013-14 Autumn/Winter item.
According to LYST, "we last saw this product for $185 at FARFETCH".
THIS one apparently sold on Grailed for $242.
THIS one...

Army trench coats were traditionally made from gabardine, not heavy wool, and were khaki in color. They were worn as a windbreaker or rain jacket and not intended for use in colder weather. Style-wise, they have epaulettes, a full waist belt, and wrist/cuff straps.
Navy bridge coats were...
Those are bridge coats, not trench coats.
Luckily, I don't have to worry about wool-eating moths in my home so I simply store mine in my vestibule closet along with my other wool coats.
If it was reasonably priced, it's possible the thrift store knew it was likely fake. My local thrift used to re-sell donated fake purses but they stopped.
Cool cardie! I think late 50s/early 60s but let's see what others say.
Per forum rules, we are unable to help with pricing or value.
Many people use eBay, Etsy, Poshmark, Mercari, etc to sell their clothing, vintage or otherwise.
No, the other examples all state acrylique/acrylic. Besides, argyle is a pattern type, not a fabric content, and the skirt is not an argyle pattern.
Most likely that agrylique/agrylic is simply misspelled. :)
Can we see any other printing on the label(s)?
Offhand, the labeling looks no earlier than 1980s/90s to me.
@NylonNostalgia will likely know better than me! :)
Google seems to indicate acrylic is sometimes spelled "agrylique" in French. And, of course, there are French-speaking areas of Canada. I think it's possible that when agrylique was translated to English, it was simply misspelled as agrylic. It's also possible that agrylique was also a...
I agree, any value would be much the same whether 70s/80s/90s. It's generally the pre-1971 Stetsons that collectors prefer... before the Stevens buy-out. And the older, the better.
