Help, I am Looking for info on this dress. Stone Ferris for Mike Benet Formals

My daughter just purchased this from a local Goodwill, and is totally in love with it! She would like to know the approximate age, and value. It is fully beaded, and lined. I have uploaded several pictures including one of the label.

 

That is a spectacular dress! We don't give valuations here, but the heavily beaded design and shawl style shoulders are typical of 1980's cocktail and evening dresses. Using this you can search for similar styles in sold ebay listings etc.

We have some info on Mike Benet formals in our label resource here: http://vintagefashionguild.org/label-resource/benet-mike/
We don't currently have your label , so if possible, could you kindly upload a clearer/straighter photo of the label so that we can add it please?

Coal Mine’s daughter Loretta Lynn made it to the Grand Old Opry wearing one. And Cloris Leachman showcased one in the TV movie, “The Great American Beauty Pageant.”
