60's (?) beauty - wool dress

[essbyess]

Hi guys! Could you please help me with this dress? There’s no fabric tag, but I’m confident it’s wool. It seems to be from the 1960s, the brand is ‘Oppi Modell,’ and the zipper is nylon, so I think it’s not older. What do you think about it?

Does anyone have any idea which decade it could be from? I’m strongly leaning towards the 60s

Yes, you are correct - it's earlyish 60s but very conservative. For some reason I think of Joan Crawford wearing something like this in the early 60s...

It is als probably from Germany (or maybe Austria/Switzerland). German brands loved to call their items "XXXX (insert brand name) Modell". I guess it just sounded a little fancier.

Thank you for your help! That’s very interesting, I need to search the internet for Joan Crawford’s outfits, it will be a great inspiration for me!

Thank you for that observation, I also believe it originates from Germany
