Can you please help me date this unlabeled tuxedo dress?

There aren’t any labels, the original owner had many of her clothes custom made and most are from the 50s-70s.

The fabric itself has stripes and it is unlined. The neck and bow are satin. There aren’t any zippers or buttons, snaps, or anything. It’s a true pull-on style. There isn’t a slit in the skirt so it’s more of a wiggle dress.





There is a fake left breast pocket.

Thank you so much for any help!

It’s crazy, there’s no fastener of any kind and the fabric is not stretchy! The front doesn’t open, there are no side zippers or anything. I’m totally stumped.

 

It is not pinned at all to fit the mannequin. It measured: 38-32-37. The original owner was smaller than that, her waist was usually closer to 25”.

 

I don’t know what the fabric is, but I suspect there is wool in it. There are really thin shoulder pads.

 

Just fabric, satiny, maybe an extra layer of fabric inside of them.

 

I, too, immediately thought 90s.
Very nice!

 

My vote is 90s too.

 

Marilyn Monroe, it is said, was sewn into a dress?! I'm puzzling over no openings. I see 1990's, too.
