John Bates dress listed

Thanks for letting me know - it's GORGEOUS!!

Thank goodness for the sunshine, I've been vinegar-ing some underarm stains (on printed silk - have to be SO careful - eek!) in the sun. Slow progress, but there's been some progress....

Liz, just thought I would add this bit of info. An ebayer sent me an email with the following info about this label, although I cant say this is accurate or not:

" This label was used for Jean Varon when Bates opened his showroom on 7th Avenue in New York."

No Liz, sorry, no date. I may try to email him and ask.

Anne, I do love the 70's too, so much fun and so many outrageous outfits. Most people dress so boring today!
 
update from ebayer-

he says,

"I believe the New York showroom was opened in late 1977, though he had been showing in the States for sometime before that."
 
thank you harriet. Im thinking you mean the dark jade green one? I couldnt remember the term for that style of print? I kept thinking "guinevere"? king arthur? wasnt sure.
