Weird label I cannot identify for the life of me

    I have this gorgeous dress with no labels except this little thing right here: https://imgur.com/a/cyj1jHX

    (doesn't seem like it wants to load the picture so I added the link just in case.)

    The label reads: Claudio & Deanna Baisi - Community Church.
    Nothing comes up when searching. Literally nothing :)
    Here's the dress:

    Can ANYONE help me identify this somehow? Any info on this is appreciated.

    Oh how gorgeous! I love a mystery, I wonder if it was a community church which made clothing for it's members or to sell to raise funds in a church shop or at community events etc? What area are you in? It might help find the specific church/store.


    Edit: Just found this...
    Community Church movement - Wikipedia


    I'm kinda in love with this dress, i bet the colour was much deeper. I want to hazard a guess at 1930s based on the collar and shape/style of the dress. However the label (to me) looks more modern. I really want it to be 1930s though so I might be biased somehow.

    Anyhoo, the experts will be along soon to give you firmer advice. :)

    How unusual—at least to me!

    Where did you find it (the location sometimes helps)?

    God, I don't know how the reply thing works, I hope this is correct.-
    - I live in Denmark, I got it from BULK wholesale vintage when I ordered a big order of dresses. They say that most dresses are between 1960's-1990's, but there have been a few pieces that have been older than that.

    But it was my thought exactly! That it might be a dress made for specific members of a chruch. - I'll take a look at the link you added!

    - I live in Denmark, I got it from BULK wholesale vintage when I ordered a big order of dresses, which doesn't give much more information lol. They say that their dresses come from USA, Germany, Netherlands, France and Italy. Which I can confirm. I think the dress is from the States, though.

    Pretty dress. I don't see 30s. The relaxed dropwaist style and particularly the lace used for the collar remind me of 80s Laura Ashley type dresses.

    Moonchild,

    Instead of clicking on the "Reply" - write your response in the space below the last posting. When you click on Reply, it copies/quotes what the person who posted wrote.

    It looks '80s to me, too.
