Late 50s..Early 60s? Dress. Take A Look, Please.

Need to pin down the date. It is a beautiful cotton dress. The fabric is great. Didn't even have to steam it. Back metal zipper, kickpleat. Had a belt but not now.<p>Keyword help appreciated. Colors are black, teal, and mustard gold. Don't know why it reminds me of stained glass.<br><br><center><img src=http://image.inkfrog.com/pix/magnolia3/50sstainglass.jpg><br><br><img src=http://image.inkfrog.com/pix/magnolia3/50sstainglass2.jpg><br><br><img src=http://image.inkfrog.com/pix/magnolia3/50sstainglass3.jpg><br><br><img src=http://image.inkfrog.com/pix/magnolia3/50sstainglass4.jpg><br><br><img src=http://image.inkfrog.com/pix/magnolia3/50sstainglass5.jpg><br><br><img src=http://image.inkfrog.com/pix/magnolia3/50sstainglass6.jpg><br><br></center>TIA

 

Oh, and I forgot to say it is a nice large size . Bust 45", Waist 34 1/2 " and Hips 48". Really had to pin this one in back.

 

first thought was 'stained glass'

second thought was early 60s

 

Thanks, Sue. Early 60s it is. Those late 50s, early 60s are so hard to differentiate. I think this would be so cool in the hot summer weather. The skirt is lined so you don't have to wear a hot slip underneath.

 

Linda, it may be a cusper - the length could go either way. I think the fabric is more early 60s though (I may be wrong!)

The larger size is a real plus (hee, no pun intended), on this.
