[QUOTE="mls4dc, post: 4276934, member: 20776"]Hello there! I'm back with some more gorgeous dresses. I'm going to try my best to date them and explain my reasoning and I would love some feedback to help me in the learning process. [ATTACH=full]341975[/ATTACH] This gorgeous wedding dress has a back zipper, so I'm guessing it was made after 1920 or 1930. My guess is 1970s? It reminds me of a gunne sax dress. This next one I think is earlier: [ATTACH=full]341976[/ATTACH] The style looks very Titanic to me. I read that elastic started being used pretty early on in the 19th century so I feel like the elastic detailing could still put this in the early 20th century. I've also seen a dress from the 1910s with this textile style of devore before. Am I close for either? How did I do? Thank you for your help! I'm learning so much here. :)[/QUOTE]
