Can anyone help me age this faux fur dress, please? I found a few months back in a vintage shop and can't trace its label or guess age, as nothing found on google or ebay ( by searching for label name), but hoping it's twenties of course...:)

Black Dress Faux Fur Flapper Furlike Fabric by Grevelour Pelzreinigung

Black Flapper style dress

• Peephole cleavage
• Metal zipper YKK
• Thick faux fur fabric
• Fully lined
• Tassel trim along hemline and sleeveless shoulders.
 
Hi There,

The dress is amazing, but in my opinion not 1920s.The shape and darting look more like 1960s, even early 1970s to me.
Has the tassel trim been added afterwards do you think? as I am wondering if it may have been used as a costume or for a fancy dress party.
I had a search for you-- if you search Google under Grevelour- quite a few garments with this kind of label come up. I also found a German trademark history- which has Grevelour trademarked in 1968, which expired in 2007.
We are not able to price garments here though as per the link below: http://forums.vintagefashionguild.o...ease-read-before-you-ask-your-question.43417/
Hope this helps a little!
Cheers
Gayle.

Thanks for your efforts, Gayle. Yes very helpful! :)
 
"Pelzreinigung" is German and means "fur cleaning". So this was probably just to say that you should also have it cleaned like fur, even though its not real fur.

Found a few more refernces on Grevelour. The company was based in Grefrath, Germany and owned a few more trademarks besides Grevelour. They were it seems specialised in producing velvets and other "three-dimensional fabrics" as they call it.

Thanks for your help too, Karin! Funny I hardly found anything except a coat sold off in an auction and undated. :)
