@Dilly Day - I'm sorry that this is confusing. Our Vintage Fashion Parades and the Fresh Vintage threads are for our VFG trade members to show their best items or new items for sale - see https://forums.vintagefashionguild....-vintage-the-best-from-the-vfg-members.46788/.

Of course we love our registered guests to share their items too - for this we have this forum: https://forums.vintagefashionguild.org/forums/public-show-and-tell-share-your-treasures.40/

 

@Dilly Day Yes I realise it is confusing, and please don't be put off.

We have a strict rule about only trade members can promote their shops, and those parades are all about promoting your shops. I'm going to revise the forum description to make it clearer.

I'm really sorry it wasn't clear, and this is our failing and not yours.

Plus your gloves were lovely! And you didn't link to a shop which is the main thing we try to prevent. I'm going to reinstate your post, but put it in the Show and tell forum.

 

@Dilly Day
Your post is now here, https://forums.vintagefashionguild.org/threads/crochet-gloves.73922/

I'm so sorry we handled this badly, and I hope you will keep posting here as your contributions are very very welcome. And I love seeing crochet items!

This is a learning experience for me, as the last thing we want is for someone like you to be put off from joining in here. And thank you for making us aware that our information isn't clear.

 

Yes it's understandable you didn't realise. We just are realising ourselves, that's it's not completely clear. Your post was fine, just not in that thread! It's a fine line sometimes, and we do have to revisit and revise our policies on occasion as things come up.

One of the issues is that many many people join these forums purely to post links and promote themselves (you'd be amazed how much work goes into controlling that), and so we have to have quite strict rules because of this. Obviously that isn't what you were doing though.

 

Hi @Kerry Cordero - you can ask for help with dating in our Q&A Forum: https://forums.vintagefashionguild.org/forums/public-vintage-fashion-ask-questions-get-answers.39/ - please post images of the whole jacket, front and back, as well as of any labels it has.
If you need help with posting photos, please see here: https://forums.vintagefashionguild.org/threads/faq-how-to-post-a-photo.52756/
Labels to be added to our label resource can be posted here: https://forums.vintagefashionguild.org/threads/post-labels-for-the-label-resource-here-2021.73117/ - but if we can answer the dating question in the Q&A forum and you mention that we may use the labels, we can also tag someone from the label team to pick the images up .
