It almost looks like the lace doesn't match all the way through? I am asking because I wonder if the skirt is actually old, like c. 1905, but perhaps relined, and the top was made up to go with it? Usually lace is matched . As is, it strikes me as late 70s because of the Bishop sleeves, which were popular then, but its hard to tell without handling and seeing close-ups.
I see 1970s in this lovely dress. But without seeing close ups of the details and knowing the fabric, it is difficult to be sure. It is, to me, a step above the majority of 1970s wedding gowns one usually sees.
Thank you all so much for the responses! I confirmed that the material is embroidered/lace netting and matches top to bottom. The bottom layer is very shiny, soft satin, with a lace edge. The back closes with a zipper. The zipper is plastic, but the pull tab is metal with no markings. Six (6) fabric covered button closures on each sleeve. Hook closure at neck. Most seams are serged. More pictures attached!
