2 Hand-Painted Vintage Dresses - 50\'s or 60\'s ?

i have these two adorable vintage hand-painted shirt dresses. they are full button down, fold up cuff sleeves, set-in waist and pleated skirt.

Just wondering if these are from the 1950's or maybe 1960's ?

and any help in description would be appreciated.

thanks !
Connie

Cute dresses!

I think they are early 60s & the second flowers look like Indian Blanket flowers.

thanks - if only i was a size small !!

the painter was quite talented

The painting was probably after market, or something commissioned by a boutique. I've had day dresses like those before, and they've done well. The painting adds a bit of a western touch to it.
Blanket flowers are great!

wish me luck then - I've got a neat vintage portrait collar dress of whipcream fabric which I can't even sell.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong....

Agree with early '60s and the red flowers do look like poppies. Good thing you have lots of hem, they're quite short!

Those are darling! They should do well for you, esp. at this time of year!

Some good keywords would be Floral Key lime, fresh crisp Spring dress. The tan one cafe latte spring orange floral twist.

Very pretty!!!

Uh, how pretty - I could get a bit envious here ;). Looove them - this is just the kinda dress I would wear right away!
I didn't know about hand-painted dresses however - how wonderful! The flowers on the green dress definitely are poppies.

Love them - where will you be selling them? Gorgeous - very jealous.

I love handpainted items. I agree 60s and poppies. Fabulous.

Thanks for everyone's comments.

If they fit me, I would be keeping them...

Can anyone give me an idea of what their actual value should be ? I really don't want to "give them away".

thanks again !
