Has a small tooth metal back zipper.

Early 60s?

That's a 70s/80s cusper, heading into neo-romanticism, ala early Princess Diana. Metal zippers are nothing to go by when it comes to French designers, I think they still prefer metal zippers, at least they certainly did well into the 80s. I have lots of 80s French clothes with metal zippers.

Hi Jonathan!

Thanks a bunch. When I first studied this I thought it may be early 80s, but the zipper was throwing me. I have never seen such tiny teeth on a metal zip before.

Good to know about the common usage of this type of zip in later French
clothing.
