Looks early 1960s to me... could the zipper just be a replacement?

It might be late 50s due to the length, looks rather long.

True, could be late 50s... what're the measurements?

Metal zippers were sometimes used in the 1960's.

It also looks a bit long to me to be early 60's. The zipper could be original. Although not super common, these were used in the later 50's. What is the length of the dress?

Late 1950s because of the length! I've had one similar that was from the late 50s and shorter, but it had been shortened so it could be more fashionable for the 60s!

The length it's right at the knees, the zipper being plastic with the metal zipper pull is what's throwing me is there something else I should look for to try and date this thanks so much for your replies...!
