According to the labels, the dresses are from the 1950s.
2nd dress has a left side zipper.
3rd dress has interesting weave fabric.

Is the R&K all one piece or in two pieces? I agree with Deborah, that one might be early 60s, I also agree the crinoline looks wrong for the cut of the dress on that one.

Love that blue one with the buttons down the back!!!
The red & white is adorable with those deep pockets.

Nice finds!
 
Yes, I noticed crinnie looks weird on R&K dress but I was too lazy to take it both out, re-put back the dress on the mannequin, and then take the picture. I am that lazy! lol
R&K is one piece.

One more question, what kind fabric is the light blue one?

To me, the light blue one looks like Dupioni or possibly raw silk in the photo of the three labels together; that photo is not as enlarged. It looks more like linen in the enlarged photo. Does it have a bit of a sheen? It also could be rayon made to look like either silk or linen. You may have to do a burn test to be sure.

It doesn't have a bit of a sheen. I think it is linen. The fabric seem as someone walked through thorn bushes with that dress. lol
