Rue_de_la_Paix VFG Member Mar 11, 2016 #2 That is beautiful. Looks like it is made of a raw silk or similar silk, with antique lace trimmings. I would place it in the early 1970s. Just to be sure, can you show us a close up of the back closure, and tell us how it closes, is it a zipper, hooks and eyes, etc?

Linn Super Moderator Staff member VFG Past President Mar 12, 2016 #4 Thank you for showing the zipper and hooks. I think it's late '60's - early '70's and lovely!
