Recently went to a local rummage sale for costume ideas and props for my sons school play. It was six dollars for whatever you could stuff in a bag..so I started stuffing. I was going to just hand it over until my husband said that I should check into the label on this dress before I give it over to the school to cut alter or do what they want. So I started to research but I just couldn't get information. My question is what year is this dress, and should I give it to the school to cut, alter or whatever. Any information about this is greatly appreciated. Label reads ADOH 29

Nice rummage sale find! I used to get amazing items back in the 70s and 80s at rummage sales!
It's difficult to say for certain but the sizing label looks older to me, it actually looks more like a 1960s label, so I am a bit confused in this case as the union label is newer.[/QUOTE
There is a third label I thought I uploaded dry clean only, would that help narrow the year down?

Don't have a dress foam but did hang it on a hanger. Front picture and back and close up of the embellishment. It's a beautiful dress.

So here's the big question do I give it to the school or look into selling it therefore it goes to someone who appreciates vintage clothing. Like I said earlier I just went to get clothing and props for a play. I guess I will have to post some of the other pieces of clothing to see if they to are vintage and worth saving.
 
I agree with 1980s. However I have not had much luck reselling 1980s wedding gowns or formal gowns for any worthwhile prices unless they had a really good label or some special designs features/trims. And even then. But that could be my bad luck!
 
I don't have much in it, I just counted all the clothing I shoved in that brown paper bag for $6, and it seems like I only purchased it for .45 cents, so whatever I get from it will be profit which is always a good thing. I will have to let you know how I did.
