Message:: [QUOTE="Rufus@frockstarvintage, post: 295157, member: 5939"]High Five [USER=468]@KingofThings[/USER] I'd date it late 60s to about '75. A posh frock in its day and it still has style, albeit the current wounded bird syndrome. The beading repair is tedious but not super hard. I'd bet what has happened is a thread came loose or broke near one of the ends....when this happens things can unravel super fast. Sometimes thread will rot also, so check it in a few spots. If this were repaired you would have much better luck in a sale. More worrisome are the moth bites. Many times there are more that won't show themselves until the piece is dry cleaned, so if it were me I'd have it cleaned (of course the cleaners would likely need the beading done first, natch). It's a nice little frock but $75 is a bit of a stretch in its current condition. Perhaps not if the label had more cachet, but as it stands & given the current buying atmosphere (NOT buying more like it)....of course this is only my opinion and I hope you prove me wrong... you have it ready to go so give it a whirl. Best luck <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
