I was able to get some better pics of this dress and wanted to post them to see if it would help. The dress has a metal zipper that says talon on it if that helps date it. I still need what style to call it and any ideas on pricing etc.. Thanks so much.

I had an earlyish 1960s dress with similar silhouette and the layered skirts. Also that low scoop back looks 60s.

That's alos the 1963 - 1974 Union tag.

Is the zipper that prominent, or has the seam been steamed so the teeth show?

The zipper is fairly prominent. I just steamed it so it doesn't look as prominent as it does in the picture.
 
I would bet its about 1965 on the nose -- that era when the 60s are in a transitional era between Jackie Kennedy princess line dresses and Twiggy Mod sleeveless shifts. If you look at US VOgue its amazing how quickly the change came about. It started in early 1964 and by early 1966 the look was completely different.
