1960s? Dior Lace Dress Set

[Laura]

I'm thinking this lace Dior dress is from the mid '60s - does that sound right?

What is this lace called? I can't remember, and I haven't been able to find it in the lace ID guides online. I've included a detail picture below so you can see better.

I've found out that Young-Quinlan was a "fashion-forward retailer" in Minneapolis. <A href="http://www.mpls.lib.mn.us/difference.asp" target=blank>"Founded by Elizabeth C. Quinlan and Fred D. Young as a women's specialty shop, the Young-Quinlan department store was only the second of its kind in the United States. When it opened in 1894, the store displayed--for the first time in Minneapolis--a ready-to-wear dress."</A>

Thanks!

I am not good with lace... but I would call it a soutached appliqued chantilly lace (don't quote me though.... someone will come along who knows better)

It looks early 60s to me, possibly even 1959ish but its too long for post 1964 so it should be YSL for Dior. Once Marc Bohan takes over Dior in 1964 I think the label goes downhill rapidly. YSL did great work at Dior though.
