30's or 40's?

30\'s or 40\'s?

I love the ballerina print on this rayon dress. The skirt portion is bias cut, which I usually associate with 30's, but it has cotton filled shoulder pads and a side metal zipper which are more 40's elements. What do you think?

Well its a bit hard to see all the details but it looks more 40's to me.
Love the print!

With that length, shoulder pads, side zipper and the style and colorway of the print, I'd say post war , maybe 1947 - 50.

It's a little hard to see the dress's shape, but I don't think it is '30s or even early '40s. I think Hollis is probably right with post-war.
