My first instinct when I picked up this dress was 60s, but... the label is very similar to the 40s one on the label resource. Obviously this dress is not 40s, but the Liberty House fabrics always throw me so I just want to make sure I'm on the right track with 60s. It has a metal Talon zipper, pinked seams and little bows attached at the top of each skirt slit. Measurements are B38 W36 H40 .
Thank you!

I See So Sixtys & So So Fabulous!!
Sixty's kinda lovin' the 20s with the drop waist! Fabulously Yummy!!
WoW! Are Those double breast darts??
 
I'm pretty sure it's '60's - probably mid-'60's. I think there may be some LH labels that we do not have in the label resource but I don't have anything from the store any more except my (now defunct) LH charge card. I might have an old shopping bag, too.

The Kailua store opened in 1946, the Waialae store in 1959 (now in the Kahala Mall) and the downtown store opened in 1849 but changed names and locations several times. The Liberty House Ala Moana Flagship Store opened in 1966, so the dress is most likely pre-1966. I did a little searching and here's some information about Liberty House:

Another vote for mid '60s: you might like to submit the label to the label resource, because it's a little different to the '40s one in that it includes another shop location - and is from a '60s dress.

Great print - and KK, you're right about the double darts!

Adorable dress! And another vote for mid 60s. I have one (not a LH) with the bows above the double slits, and the same shaping, and I was estimating that at mid 60s, so I'll go the same with yours....
