Dating Oscar de la Renta

[MarytheRed]

I was hoping someone could help me date this Oscar de la Renta dress. It's velvet with a tulle underskirt. Thanks!

I believe that's early 1990s. Did you see the similar label in the Label Resource?

I did, but searching listings on etsy and eBay I saw the same label on dresses listed anywhere from 1960 to 1990. Thanks for the input!

I would tend to go with the label resource. Those team-members try really hard to keep it most accurate.

Yes, there is a lot of misdated vintage online, and many sellers just go by style because they lack knowledge about fabric, construction and labels. That's why things like the label resource are so important.
