    This is a Balmain couture dress. It's a lovely silk muslin. Can you help with a date. Many thanks.

    I see this dress here, being called late 1960s:

    Late 60s is my first thought, but I do not know.

    Could we see a close up or get a description of the sleeve, particularly the cuff area? Does it have an Edwardian style to it?

    Balmain was into ruffles in 1968.

    Barbara, the sleeve cuff is interesting. it has a zipper with buttons-no holes. The rhinestones appear to be glued on at the center.
    Here is the cuff and CB closure. CB has buttons and faux buttonholes with a zipper hidden underneath.

    I can add the number if we started adding the numbers it would sometimes help with dating.
