1940\'s dress info

I feel a little odd posting this as I not been here in ages.
I bought this dress and jacket have no info on it,

I am told it's 1940's the label is Young Viewpoint of New York I think it a sort of Rayon. Any info on it would be appreciated many thanks Paul.

Hi Paul, lovely colour.. feels late 40's/early 50's to me but I'm no expert. Don't know anything about the label but I did find this on ebay..

so it seems like a good quality label!

Beautiful suit, and it looks very nice on you too - I'm going to go for early fifties, although I'm unfamiliar with the label. Great colour too.

 

[BagDiva]

yeah, colour really suits you! l'm with the early 50;s also ahs it been shortened a tad..

nice to see you on the boards again!

Oh thank so much, I was thinking to myself late 40's what's a couple of years
Early 50's is cool by me.

Don't know this label, but it looks 50s to me. Great color for you!

In agreement with everyone else, and that color is positively smashing! It's one of my favorite colors (if you ever want to sell that suit, I'm all over it!)

Looks great on, too! Thanks for sharing....

Is it cerise?

I hate to be the voice of discord but I am leaning more towards the late 50s. The jacket isn't cut close enough to the body with a multiple button closure - it's too open and unstructured - more late 50s in style, especially with the 3/4 sleeves and hip-line length jacket, I would expect it to be fitted a little longer over the hips for the early 50s.

 

[Coutureallure]

I agree with Jonathan. The 3/4 sleeves and the hot pink color say late 50's to me as well. It looks really nice on you!

I see 50s too! Very nice color!
