China my ole' mate!  ;D

It is a funny one isn't it, shame it's not full length as you said, the hemline would speak volumes.   Thank you for giving up your time, cos you know I'm always very appreciative of your opinion!  :-*  I'm happy to go with early 20s as there is more evidence for that period than against...although reprint screams at me!

Cheers
Caz

Not too sure it's a reprint, but it's not a very professional job. Offcenter and a little wonky. Wonder if it might be a home development job.

The double scallopped hem of the overdress really has a 20s look, but any later than 1922 it would probably be a dropped waist.

Cheers,

Aw am I so glad you stopped by my wonderful friend!  Stunning interpretation, but we wouldn't expect anything less from one of the original masters of the board!  ;D ;D ;D ;D   8) 8)

Hope you've been behaving yourself lately!   :P :P :P
