30s? 40s? Help!

Side metal snaps, all cotton. No labels. Cannot decide if I think late late 30s or getting into 40s.

Thanks!

The length makes me think late 30's, but like you I'm not sure. It's very pretty!

Sash belts were popular late 1930s - 1938-39

Can you show the bust darts/shaping interior construction and/or a close up of the print? The metal snaps/press studs too. It's very 70's - 80's looking to me.

The metal snaps are old, I don't have shots of the interior but just handling it one can tell its older, not remotely 70s or 80s.

Ang, I absolutely trust you to judge the difference between 70s-80s and 30s-40s but like vertugarde, I can see how this could be more modern; I think the fabric reminds me of an early '70s and so do some elements of the style.

But the construction is clearly earlier. I guess we've seen too many retro copies of vintage originals!

That piece is GORGEOUS! I love that style. That is the exact style I look for to wear! Can you email me/pm me if/when you ever part with it? Thanks!
