Hello,
What is it you are asking? Are you looking to find this dress on the internet so you can purchase it? Or do you already own the dress and want more information about it, and what info are you looking for?
I have had several garments with the label, and have one now, same label but it is not that dress.

I inherited the dress from my grandmother back in 1980. I have only worn the dress once.. As for my grandmother, I don’t believe she put it on.. it was to small for her...
I would be exstatic, captivated sitting on cloud nine for Any information you or anyone might possess.
Curious it’s worth.. Considering selling it and the majority of my vintage clothing collection..

You can find information about the maker in our label resource under Mirsa:
https://vintagefashionguild.org/label-resource/mirsa/
As per our forum rules, we do not do valuations here. Researching online selling sites is your best bet to see ask prices
for dresses that are similar in style and condition. Ask prices however are no indication of what something ends up selling for.
You may also check eBay for sold prices. Finding your exact dress is unlikely though.

I clicked on that link. I saw all the information but it’s not giving me the information that I am looking for. I cannot find the dress I have anywhere.I did read on Wikipedia in reference to her, telling designers life. They did mention that they made those dresses in red and in black. And sold them exclusively to a magnum. That’s all I know. I mean I just haven’t started looking. I started a year ago. And I just really got into the research over the past couple of days , And I know you can’t answer this question but bottom line I just want to know what it is worth. Just like any other person that loves vintage clothes and collect things like I do. They won’t know what they’re worth.. I just couldn’t find it with the information that you gave me. I appreciate your help. thank you so much my dear
Sometimes it is hard to come by information about a certain vinate item, and even we cannot know everything, though we have, through our many members, assembled a hug amount of knowledge here at the VFG. There are thousands of desginers and companies out there of which there is simply not a lot of information left over, and one must consider too that most of them were around before the internet happened, so there may be little to know information online.
Like Deborah said, it will be hard to find another such dress out there. There may be other ones out there, but they must also be online in order to be found. Clothes were and are made to be worn, and when they're worn out or damaged by wear, they may be thrown away - at least when it comes to everyday clothes. It may be different with couture evening gowns and such, that people would keep, but in general, clothes were not bought to be collected... so many dresses like yours will have gone that way over the years.
We cannot give any values here because the value can vary greatly depending on all kinds factors. It's not just wether an item is by an important designer or mass-produced. It depends on where it's sold and by whom as well - e.g. is it a small-town thriftshop or a well-known vintage boutique in a big city, or is it online (and is on Ebay, Etsy or wherever....) and many more.
Many vintage collectors collect not just for the value of an item, but for the joy of actually wearing it and having something unique that almost certainly nobody else will have. I am one of those. I know I have a few higher value items, but I own them so I can wear them and I greatly enjoy doing that...
