Well, yeah. I was more quoting the article than dating the gown--the
movie it was inspired by(? or a costume from?) is supposed to be
1920s.  Either way, it doesn't look like it's supposed to be a repro
to me--it looks "inspired by."

I do see that silhouette in films of the very late 20s, though.  This
dress could probably pass as '29 or even high fashion '28 to my eye,
which admittedly hasn't been trained through actual serious study of
the period, but rather through my fascination with silent movies. =}

PS--there are ever so many silent film clips on YouTube....
