Hello folks, here again because I have a very big doubt. I'm wondering if this dress (pictures in attachment) is from the 80's or from the 40's - fabric is satin. It does look 40's to me aside form the rear zipper which don't really belong to that era. Any help would be super appreciated, thank you
Nothing about this says 40s to me - the fabric and construction, zipper - they all look quite modern. The little buttons at the cuffs was also a 30s, 40s thing. But, the overall body-con shape looks like a total night owl clubbing circa 1985 look. You'll see similar shapes in well known body con designers of the era - have a look at Tadashi and Victor Costa. They borrowed really flattering ideas from the 40s and totally disco-sexed them up for the 80s aesthetic! (Which, by the way is, is having a lovely resurgence.)
