Is This Dress 50s or 60s?

[lusciousvintage]

Hello all!

I preparing to list this dress and am starting to second guess my dating. I initially decided that is must be early 60s based on the colorway, print and style, but now I am wondering if it isn't just a tad earlier, like maybe late 50s.

It has a back metal zipper, pinked seams and a cotton lining. The sheer outer fabric is synthetic...not 100% sure of the fiber, as I am hopeless at burn testing. The label is Jonathan Logan and looks like the 1950s example in the label resource.

Thanks for taking the time to look.

Wow - that is such a pretty dress, and your photo is great.

I see late 50's with this. I've found that often similar dresses from the early 60s are a little shorter and have that huge hem.

Jonathan Logan dresses are the best!

Thank You Northstar. I'm gonna go with 50s!

I also am going with very late 50's. And I concur that Jonathan Logan dresses are the best!! They weren't high end, but are always the cutest styles and nicely made. They are one of my faves.
