I took better pictures, and I got the book that sara was talking about and the exact same dress is in it. It's from the winter collection of 1961, so the mystery is solved, thanx to sara! Let hope a museum buys it!

hello, beautiful dress! I hope you don’t mind me asking why you haven’t listed it in vintage clothing? I definitely think this is the sort of dress you should consider listing in both vintage and woman’s clothing, because its so special. How great to find a picture of it in that book. Looks amazing.

WOW....Congratulations! I thought this might do well for you on ebay and it sure did!

 

[BagDiva]

l'm a watching!!!

 

[poppysvintageclothing]

I did not read carefully...I now see you had to relist it! Good luck with it the 2nd time around, it is absolutely stunning....sorry I did not get to see it in person when I was in Toronto back in November for the wedding, just not enough time!

I would strongly suggest putting it in vintage and putting the decade in there.

I would also suggest putting a few paragraph breaks - its hard to read

I would also suggest putting the actual measurements not just the waist. You may love this to go into a museum but there are many people who have the money to wear vintage couture as well.

Thanx for the advice folks, I made the changes to the listing

Just want to say that is totally GORGEOUS!!! You are so lucky!

Well e-bay pulled the listing because I had a link to my website, I guess that's a no no. So I will be listing it again after the holidays.
Just an FYI for you all
