50's or 60's do you think?

Thanks!

Definatley mid 60s. I say that only because I had a stole and purse in that fake furry stuff that came with the original evening gown and it was c. 1965-66.

It's part of the Jolly Green Giant's winter loin cloth!!

Carolyn, is this feathers or fur?

Agree with the 60s date.

It's <i>maribou</i> (feathers)!

Soft and fluffy as a swansdown powderpuff Dyed, yes - but not 'fake'. Still think 60's?

I was thinking maribous but thought it was too "dense" and les flouty to be maribou if that makes any sense?

I still think 60s

Maribou....Mar<b>A</b>bou, how do you know if they are real or not? I am curious as I have a dress listed that is trimmed in pink marabou feathers...
