Hello! I’m having a bit of trouble dating this patriotic dress (costume?). It was labeled as a parade costume when I bought it, but who knows? The fabric feels older to me, and the back closes with snaps. The snaps are fabriccovered/sewn into the fabric. The bodice is lined, but the skirt is not. The bodice seems to be polished cotton. Thanks in advance for any help! Sorry I accidentally posted this in the other q&a forum earlier.
That is a darling dress. I see it as a costume, especially with the snap tape (versus individually sewn snaps) and the use of polished cotton for the fabric. I cannot say the decade, but maybe 40s or 50s?
Agree with Cin and Linn: very early '60s with that wide, bias roll collar. It's a darling dress, agree probably a costume.
