    Good morning/afternoon/night,

    Found this cute mini dress at my regular charity shop today and would really like to get more info about it.
    The dress has two snap closures at the back (their back reads "Eberle"), a plastic (?) zipper and elasticized cuffs. The sleeves match the sash (I suppose can be used as a belt or scarf) and are sewn to look like a shirt underneath, as you can see. I'm thinking late '60s/early '70s, but I suppose it would have a drop waist instead. Any thoughts?

    I apologize for the quality of the photos, I was in a hurry as it was raining xD

    So, here's some better pictures of the dress and its seams. The sleeves' fabric is synthetic, but I can't really tell about the dress'. The zipper might be plastic or made of nylon? I'm not quite sure.

    Home made perhaps? I would think early 70s.

    I'm thinking homemade as well, otherwise (I believe) there would be some serging in the seams.

    Screams Brady Bunch. I would say 1970s and I also agree looks handmade.
