Date on western style dress

[missproper]

I'm totally guessing, maybe 70's? Or 60's? I have no clue on these type of dresses....
Any ideas?

Charming! I haven't a clue either... what's the zipper or closures like?

This must be a square-dance dress, and I think they're very hard to date as the styling didn't change a whole lot over the years. I would say you're right on 60s or 70s--probably don't need to be more specific than that. I'd call it a 60s/70s whatever, whatever.... I have one I'm going to list as a "dolly" or sissy dress, I think, rather than a square-dance dress.

It's a center back plastic/coil zipper

Alright, thanks Anne

Yep, 70's, square dancing dress. I don't know what you have invested in it, but they're pretty common. To be authentic, it needs one of those ginormous, layered crinolines to fluff the heck out of it!

Right - it said square dance to me too - but I can see it being purchased as "sweet lolita" by a Japanese gal... particularly if it isn't too long.

Square dance to me too! For some reason I am picturing the gals in Petticoat Junction wearing this one!
