I never even considered the print being 40s, there were some pretty but rare ones in that era. The oriental influence was in the 20s as well thanks to Paul Poiret, but also the zipper looks older than any 40s dress, it's one of those really short ones, that has a triangular tab. I thought maybe it was for a larger woman than I, but then with such a short zipper, it would be impossible to get on, it just fits over my shoulders. <br /><br />I wish you could see it up close so you could examine it too! I really want to know for sure when its from.Solanahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17543713717427918730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089197969206589217.post-79863120434216002572009-05-31T23:18:01.649-07:002009-05-31T23:18:01.649-07:00Your dress is lovely, and i think you can still to...Your dress is lovely, and i think you can still totally pull off a 1920s look with your wavy hair.<br /><br />I think I have to disagree with your date on the dress though. It looks very 1940s to me. Especially because of the Japanese print. The drop waist of a 1920s dress is usually very squared, and the waist of your dress seems more fitted and V waistlines were common in the '40s. <br /><br />I love the dress.Sandra @ Debutanteclothing.comhttp://www.debutanteclothing.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089197969206589217.post-28026874280790281372009-05-31T22:28:55.193-07:002009-05-31T22:28:55.193-07:00What a lovely dress!
