Would love some help with this tiered dress. 1940s? Early 1950s? Crown brand metal zipper. I do not think I have ever seen a zipper right in the middle of the back of a dress. Was this possibly popular for a short time? Ok, see about zippers from the resource. Thanks in advance. No labels except a number 12. I assume vintage size 12 not a modern. Lightened to show design.
Very cute dress! I'm not an expert yet but this dress looks 50s to me. The back zipper wasent introduced until the 50s I think, maybe someone else will jump in.
I am seeing early to mid 50s with this one. Lovely dress! I have had dresses with that sort of zipper from time to time.
Yes, I've seen many centre back zippers too. Most often in late '40s dresses but I agree with early '50s for this one.
I have just recently bought a 50s summer dress with a similar zipper placement - center back, but not going through to the neckline.
Thank you all. After posting I read the tutorials here. It stated on zipper history some were done in 1940s in back. ------- http://vintagefashionguild.org/tips-tricks/quick-tips-for-dating-vintage/ Such great help with Vintage clothing from the VFG. So glad it is around to save the History of Clothing. Thanks again.
