Date and material??

[Pinkie]

Hi all, I bought this dress and several others in bulk at an estate sale, they are all the same large size but different materials and shapes. Does this look 60s to you? The material is textured and I dont know what it is, can you tell from the pictures? It has no zipper but buttons all the way down the front, the seems are pinked and it came with a matching belt, and it has medium thick shoulder pads sewn in it. There is part of a label on the neck but I can't tell what it is, do you know? Thank you for any help!

Hi Pinkie. It looks like late '40s-early '50s nylon plisse to me. Do you have a pic of the shoulder pads? That will help narrow it down. Fabric is hand wash.

Oh wow I was way off. Still learning though. I took a picture of the belt too, it says 18 1/2 washable. Thank you very much for your reply!

I agree with Nicole on the dating and fabric. I have had dresses made of this nylon fabric. Such a pretty color...they used to have slips in a matching color.

Thanks Pinkie, the shoulder pads look more late '40s.
