But it also says Made in China It also has another tag on a slip(?) that is attached by 2 strings under the dress that says it is 95% Polyester and 5% Spandex(!) - this tag also says at the top Made in/Hecho en China - so I'm assuming it's not a old dress with the bilingual tag? What years/years is this from? Can I call it vintage? Is it a cocktail dress? A summer dress? (it has a flap on the lower front of the dress that made me think of a summer dress (if I'm wrong sorry; I'm a guy & am out of my league here!) Any info would be appreciated; I know I can't be the only one who likes it - I bet Austin Powers would say "Groovy Baby" if he saw it! Thank you!
