Is this silhouette more 50\'s or 60\'s...Sue Brett Juniors Dress

And, it's just so...bright! Bright orange linen dress, pinked seams, painted back zipper...what do you think?

Sixties, I would say.

probably right on the very early edge of 60s, when the older gal would still want to dress in the more50s styles, but want to have those great 60s colors

I definitely think this is a cusper - very late 50s to very early 60s.

Alrighty, that's just what I was thinking...cuspers always confuse me.

Thanks, gals!

1960. I think you might have found the answer on this page. There is an example of a of a Sue Brett dress and 'Fashion colors rivaled flowers for brightness—hot pinks, oranges, and golds topped the list, with strong yellow and all kinds of blue not far behind. Many of the handsomest dresses combined two brilliant colors in a way that a few years earlier only Matisse would have dared to use. Prints appeared less often than solid, strong colors.'
