I have this navy blue silk dress (burn test, plus it feels like silk) lined in rayon, the label has been cut, back metal zipper. (Sorry it’s not pressed.) I’m thinking late 50s or early 60s, but I’m not sure. Also, is the fabric correctly described as Shantung or Thai silk? I feel like Shantung is maybe heavier in texture, wheras this is quite thin. Or maybe it’s just raw silk? But I somehow don’t think that raw silk was a thing until the 70s...? Thanks for any input.
