Lord + Taylor dress - 50's?

[blubirdboutique]

This dress reads 50's to me, but the embroidery for some reason throws me off. It only has button closures with the typical 50's snap on the front that closes the fabric at the waist. The embroidery is very boho/ethnic to me though, or even reminds me of some 30's garments with that similar look. I guess I'm still leaning 50's, but it's an unusual design I think? The tag seems to fit with the 50's men's robe tag on the label resource. Thoughts? Thanks!

It looks 60s to me, a shirtwaist styled dress. Very pretty dress.

1960s to me too.

Thanks! I guess I always think 70s for this type of boho looking floral detail but it seemed too short - and think of 60's as more mod. I think you're right, seems more 60's than 50's.

I see more c. 1970ish on the nose - maybe into 71.

My mind always goes to maxi dresses with the 70's, but it does look 70's to me too, minus the longer length.

Early 70 for me, I had one very similar

My first thought was 70s, too. Embroidered peasant look.
