Would anyone know of a resource for finding the prices of things in
1957? I'm not looking for a current value but what something would
have
cost in 1957. Specifically a cocktail length wedding dress??
My mother still has the silk chiffon cocktail dress she wore when she
married my father in 1956. It was a second marriage, so the dress
wasn't a standard wedding dress. Hilariously, and completely in
character, it turned out she forgot to cut the price tag off before
the wedding, and it's still there. It was from an expensive
department store in Los Angeles, she thinks it was called
Robinson's. The price was $125.
