<p>[QUOTE="bluumz, post: 8383399, member: 649"]I agree with late 40s/early 50s. It was in the 1950s that zippers moved from the side to the center back. And that paper-y stiffener was generally replaced by pellon sometime in the 1950s, too. I doubt that it's Chinese-made, thought the brocade fabric evokes Chinese designs. Chinoiserie was still quite popular in the 1940s.</p><p>Very pretty![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
