It does look to be 1950s or a 1950s revival style. However, the label is not a 1950s Dior label. Dior clothing in the 1950s was not made in the USA. Exceptions are that the Dior-New York label was used for Dior's licensed (and Paris designed) clothing to be made in the USA at selected upscale stores, Holt Renfrew in Canada also had an agreement with Dior, and London too, (Christian Dior-London) in the late 1950s.
Just thinking the label is not original to the dress. It does not appear to be couture construction either, judging by the photos. The "Woven in Italy" also seems odd for that dress's fabrics, it is a term seem often on knit fabrics like sweaters, fine knit suits, etc.

Etsy is also helpful if you are trying to find a price
That label really does not appear to be original to this dress. Can you show a photo of the interior construction? Label stating woven cannot be correct...and just the look of the label is very modern.
