Texasgirl, from what I can see of those pics it doesn't look 80s. The label looks older and also the seaming. Do you have a picture of the whole dress?

I think it's been too long now to deal with trying to return it. But I guess it would be good to know in case I want to sell it.

(Just whisper it in my ear: what size is it?)

I have this Don Loper jacket, and while I imagine it's early-mid 50s, I'd like a better idea if possible.
I need to sell it, and I would like to have a better idea of what to ask for it. It's in near perfect condition with one tiny very mendable flaw in the backseam, even the lining is perfect. It just needs a steam.
oh ps- if anyone knows of a better way to sell online in the US than eBay, please let me know. I used to sell on eBay, but their seller fees have gotten ridiculous.

I'll bow to you on the print, and heartily concur with every other point. That is a GREAT buy, Shrinking Violet!Miss Sis said:Lovely dress and a great print, Shrinking Violet. The print could be from the 20s/ early 30s by it's style, but perhaps made up later?
From the large sleeves, I'd put this at about 1936 - 37. Skirts were starting to get shorter and wider and the 'pouffy' sleeves were very popular in both day and evening wear. Possibly slightly earlier, although then I might be inclined to think it had been shortened.
Miss Sis said:Shrinking Violet, the pouffy sleeves of 36-37 are larger than 38-39. They tended to stick out more and come further down the arm towards the elbow.
