<p>[QUOTE="Debora, post: 4277073, member: 1476"]These are both home made, aren't they? That makes the vintage of clothing more difficult to identity. Plastic zippers replaced metal in the late 1960s so it's either earlier than the 1970s (doesn't look it) or was made with an old zipper. The second dress doesn't appear to be old to my eye. That type of beading is usually associated with India but may be coming out of China now. And the hint of a strong shoulder reminds me of traditional Filipina dress. Where did you get them? And what were you told about them when you bought them? </p><p><br /></p><p>Debora[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
