I agree, 30's, raglan sleeve era and those nip tucks under the boobage. But
eally now, velvet? Sigh. This would hang so much better with bias cut bridal
ilk.
Well, there are velvets and velvets--some are pretty slinky. I have a dress
that belonged to my husband's grandmother, very similar to this one, in maroon
velvet, but the dress itself has the sleeves (raglan, I think, but not this
exaggerated), and there is a gold flower at the neckline.

Think: end of WWII, Big Bands, Hollywood glamour.

You are looking at probably mid to late 1930s. Possibly a transition
dress.
May or may not have shoulder pads.
Kind of the style

This gives styles of the early `30s to give an idea of what I mean by
it
possibly being transitional.

Think Faye Wray movies. :)
Then again, the style somewhat repeated in the `80s so maybe it is
1980. :)

Hi,
This is slightly off-topic but I'm curious and I figured this list
would
probably be best to answer. The latest fall Buttericks are out and
there
is one Making History
pattern. Usually I can guess where they have drawn their inspiration
from
and what period that they are imitating
but this is one is puzzling me. If you had to assign a time period
what
date would you give for this:
