Hi,

Hello,
I've never had a dress like that and I do not usually find anything before the 70s. So I have no idea if this dress is real, or will it be a disguise?
It has no labels of any kind. The fabric is quite rigid ... I had not seen any like this, nor of this style in my hands.
The belt is plastic, thin and flexible... It was quite wrinkled.
It has a zip through the back until the waist or maybe a bit more down (I need to check this).

Thanks

Hi girls,
I am sorry I don't have any closer pictures, but I can take more this evening or tomorrow and will upload them.
There are darts, yes.
Sorry for the delay, and thanks for your answer.
 
Here a couple of pictures closer for the fabric and darts. They have been taken from a smartphone, the quality is so so. I hope they help.

I cannot say for sure but this dress is making me think that it is a reproduction dress or perhaps an 80s does 50s look. The reason I feel this is I find the belt loops to be more modern in size and the belt also seems to be larger than what one would be accustomed to.

It is a really cute dress!

Hopefully some more opinions will be on the way for you.
 
I thought right away it looks "80s does 50s". But the underskirt/slip made me think it might not be 80s. The fact that the fabric is rigid......not a 1980s feature. So I really cannot tell from the photos. But the plastic belt leads me to think 80s. Guess I am not much help!

It is very cute.

One of those dresses you need to have in your hand to be more definitive. The "rigid" material, the big polka dots, the wide plastic belt, the seam finish all seem to me to be later than 1960's.
