what do you guys think about the date and style of this dress?

[maltby]

obv it's some sort of over dress and I don't have the underlayer. it is a rough feeling crochet looking weave. Side metal zipper is a very heavy and somewhat stiff zipper and thats all I know!

thanks for any input!

It looks late 40s or early 50s to me. It just needs a black slip underneath.

I agree with late 40s early 50s.

That is a lovely dress. To me, I see late 1930s to early 1940s. I also see a late 40s early 50s style, but the length looks a bit short for that era. The type of crochet also seems on the earlier side. Of course, I really am not sure, but that is what I am seeing.

follow up on this dress, I sold it recently to a super fancy Beverly Hills vintage dealer so maybe I'll see it one First Dibs one of these days thanks all for the help as always
