I have this beautiful Gene Shelly. Wondering what it might be worth or how much it would cost to restore it. Or just any info about the dress or when it is from.

Can't help with the value of this late 60s dress. Is it a dress or a top? It looks terribly short - I was wondering if it was a shell top that someone added fringe to? It looks like the sequins are missing or discoloured under her arms and where a man's hand would be if they were dancing. The only solution would be to replace the missing sequins, which is possible, but laborious and not worth the investment if you plan to resell.

Hi thanks for the reply. It is a mini dress. I have worn it and it fits really nicely it is definitely short, and yes it seems like a dancing dress. I have seen a couple Gene Shelly full gowns with similar flowers, but havent seen any with fringe. So youre thinking this one looks modified possibly. I am 5foot 8, and the dress was like mini skirt length on me so i dont think its a top?
