60\'s Paper Dress

I have this 60's paper dress by DuPont Reemay, still in the package. Red with White polka dots! I have not taken it put of the package. Can someone pinpoint a date on this? Also is it best to leave in the package as is, or to take it out of the package to photograph on a manni or live model? Many thanks in advance for your help.

Jonathan is our paper dress go to guy. I am sure he will be along.

My guess is that if the package is sealed, best leave it that way.

Leave it in the package and sell it as a 'paper dress' even though it isn't paper, but rather Reemay, so its technically a disposable dress (There is a difference but only collectors will really care)
Yours is c. 1967

Thanks everybody, and thanks Jonathan for the 1967 info. Although I would love to see it ouf of the package I will let it remain!
