Era Identification

[Aintweswank]

Hi Everyone,

I have a vintage dress that I cannot find any information on whatsoever. Looking to find the era of the piece and perhaps a date on the print? This is an unusual one with the large, netted sleeves and applique work on it. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you!

Any labels of any kind? Care tags? Or is it handmade?

The sleeves really look like traditional Philippines fashion.

No labels of any type, I’m guessing handmade…there is a metal zipper closure on the back if that helps date it.

I'm seeing what Sadie is seeing. The sheer puffy shouldered short sleeves that are shaped sort of like a bell.

What does the zipper and interior construction look like?

Hello,

the interior is all hand stitched, no lining underneath. There’s an old metal zipper on the back that has a series of letters and numbers on the pull. It’s not a Talon or YKK zipper but completely different. I’ve included a photo of it. Thank you!
