dating and cleaning question on this vintage costume

[maltby]

Hi and happy superbowl sunday to those who care

Check out this neat costume! I really wish I could make out the name tag within but not having luck!

it's bright red satiny- it has a stain on the flat pleated front part but I'm nervous to soak it- what do you guys think?

super elaborate with a little bow tail and sequins but looks handmade, back metal zip

thanks as always for thoughts

How cute it that? Could the name be Nora Steiser?

Yes I came to that conclusion w the name too and when I google it plus “choir” I get an 85 year old who has been in a church choir for 40 years. Maybe?!

Now that's interesting! So it could be a "maybe". ;)

Since it is satin and has sequins, I agree with not soaking it, but hopefully more folks will weigh in with some cleaning tips.
