29" wide fabric is probably 1950's to early 1960's (or maybe earlier). Some flour sacks and the such were also 29"/30" width, other's were 35"/36". That should give you some idea of the age of your vintage fabric. It reminds me of a dress my grandmother wore (which would have been early to mid 1950's).
