    Good morning/afternoon/night,

    I know the title is a little vague, but anyway: I bought some vintage pieces with 50% off (Black Friday sale) and this was one the dresses I found. It has pockets, the hem was shortened and the zipper says “Corrente”.

    I’m guessing 1970s. What do you think?

    Cute. I don’t see 70s on this one. Looks like a very sweet 40s house dress. Could be 30s and the hem taken up in the 40s..

    I find house dresses hard to date because they didn't always follow current fashion trends. If I am seeing correctly that the zipper is mid-back, I think it may be 1950's. The colors in the print and the fabric also remind me of 1950's.

    Do you mean all three Black Friday finds or just this dress? Here you go:

    I thought that was a side zip. I agree with Marian, that it’s probably 50s. It is hard to date because the style looks earlier. However, upon a closer look at the print and colors, I do see more 50s in the fabric. Sorry!
