    Looking to date a Mexican embroidered dress (at least I think it is). Picked it up for only $3 but think it's lovely! So colorful!

    Thanks :)

    Would you be able to get in real close and snap a nice clear pic of the embroidery and then one of the lace? Thanks!

    From that close up photo I'd say 1970s. The floss is more 'cottony' and the quality of the work not as detailed as the older pieces but yet not as 'dashed and quick' as what you started seeing in the 1980s.

    My feeling.

    You are very welcome. I love these pieces. My mom wore them her whole life. She used to pick 'em up in Mexico in the 1960s. I used to pick 'em up for her till July when she passed away. They were her housecoat. lol

    The thrift store that I got this from had it labeled as a house dress :)
