Betsey Johnson dress dating

[kittenteethvintage]

I picked up a cute purple crushed velvet dress by Betsey Johnson, but cannot pin down the date. To me, I could see this dress being from anywhere between 90s-today, style-wise. Anyone familiar with this item, or maybe when this pink tag was used?

Note- this dress is strapless, but since the size is so small, it did not fit my mannequin so I had to improvise to 'show' it on a form, that's why you see the pink hanger straps and clothespins on the last/front pic.

Isn't the pink label within the last 10 years?

Yeah, I have no idea. The dress style seems like it could span a range of years, but it very well could be more recent. I just don't personally know. Hoping someone here has definite knowledge of it and can pin it down.

Ok. Definite knowledge says 2000s, latter. ; )

Perfect, thanks! I thought it may be more recent, it's in pretty good condition. Wish I fit it, lol.

Yes definitely post 2010. The crushed velvet is reminiscent of the early 80s punk label pieces that were brought back in the 90s.

Also the size is an indicator - size zero is a relatively new thing.
