    Hi there,

    Could you please provide me with any information about this dress? The label reads "Lim's Made in Shanghai ".

    I have done searches and found a few dresses on Etsy and eBay, from this brand. Most of the dresses are listed as 40s to 70s.

    I have also found a few of the same dress listed online. The price ranges from $275 USD to $2428 USD.

    Could you please tell me if this dress is true vintage, the era and what price is it worth?

    Thank you so much in advance.

    Hello, I've seen that dress before and it's beautiful. Lim's dresses are not vintage however Lim's says some of their garments are made using vintage fabric.

    The best we can do regarding value is to suggest you find similar items and the price they sold for. Sometimes you can do so through eBay.
