Help dating a velvet gown with embellishment

[briez]

Hi!
I was given this vintage (antique?) dress and told it was "early 20th century."
I'm having some trouble figuring when exactly it is from.
It does have a side zipper, but I wonder if it was added later?
Inside it has a hand-stitched tag that says MARIELI.
I included some pictures of the interior... lots of the work was done by hand...
Any guidance or guesses would be greatly appreciated Thank you so much!!!

Agree with Mary Jane.

Thank you Mary Jane, and also thank you Barbara!
I so appreciate your input... I'm just curious what made you say 1950s/pre 55?

(Just curious as I'm trying to learn more! Thank you so much !

I agree with 1950s, and think it might have had a supporting net crini or tiered petticoat for some skirt fullness and lift. Also, I think I see that the zipper is on the right side, which with the hand embroidered label leads to to think it's a dress maker gown.

Lovely gown. I agree with the dating. I wonder if it may have been a custom made gown for a woman whose name was Mariell.

The reason I say that is mainly due to the way the bodice is constructed.

Yes, the bodice is a good clue for dating. Also, velveteen was a very popular fabric for evening gowns at that time.

I'm afraid I do not know the dating, but just wanted to say I love the grapes & vines design, so cute! Beautiful dress.
