Looks very 60s to me . Are there any other tags. That copyright symbol didnt appear until around 63 or 64 i believe . Some one correct me if im wrong
But id put this in the mid 60s category

The symbol doesn't look like copyright symbol - © to me. It looks like the Registration Trademark ® to me. The fabric and colors looks C 1960s to me, but the dress looks very, very short - like it might be a top rather than a dress - but that may just be the angle from which the photo was taken.

Yes thats what i meant! The r mark i always think it means copy right whoops.
Yes maybe its a top. I can see that
Here are more pics of dress, inside and out!iv
I’ve added more pics to show it’s true length.
Hopefully not chopped into a mini.
Love the colors, and the bit of appliqued embellishment on the left shoulder area.

It looks like an asterisk.

The font seams somehow odd to me. Maybe it’s just the angle of the photo. Could you please take a close up of the label lying flat.
I am finding a lot of examples of this label but they are all on ties and scarves. Here is one:

and it's not stitched on very well, imo (the stitches are uneven, the label is not placed along the neckline at a consistent angle); it could be someone took a scarf label and stitched it on to a dress to try to increase it's value...

I thought the same. An added label.

THAT makes sense, and now that I see how it is sewn so badly into the dress, someone has repurposed the label from a tie into the dress. I once sold a large lot of stained designer ties (silk ties just don't dry clean well...) on eBay and they sold for a LOT of money, which made no sense to me at the time ( I thought someone would buy them for crafting), but afterwards I realized it was the labels that people wanted for just this kind of shenanigans.
How annoying.
Are you able to tell if the dress is actually silk - either by feel or by a burn test. If it's not, then we know for sure it's had that label added fraudulently.
Either way, it looks like label switching to me too.
