I agree with Sadie about the ribbons being a design element - I see two on the skirt front, and there may be more around the sides and back.

It looks very high style 80s to me. Odd that the faded tag says West Germany and the Star tag says Italy. Per forum rules, we are unable to authenticate or advise on value/pricing. Browsing eBay’s Sold category a give you an idea of what similar garments are actually selling for, which can be...

Enjoy this week's edition of Fresh Vintage, crrated by Suzanne @Vintage Runway and hosted on the VFG YouTube channel.

You are welcome. I think it's a great topic for comment and discussion. I am so fortunate in that I don't have a chronic illness to deal with. But I can still relate to much of what you wrote. My biggest barrier to wearing as much vintage at this point in my life is that favorite pieces in my...

Wikipedia has a pretty good article on reading care tags, and Sarah is exactly right about F in a circle.

Those washing/care symbols were not around in the 40s.

I am definitely not a lace expert, so bumping this for more input. The second one looks like crochet, and I think the fourth is dotted swiss fabric with lace connecting and edging.

Bumping this for you.

Cool looking jacket! I don't have an answer, but I am bumping your question. Good luck!

From a 2018 post by our resident fur expert, VFG member Caryn @furwise "The fur label authority label and the number on it would not help in determining who the maker was. It was used to ascertain that fur garments were made under fair labor standards and complied with the fur products labeling...

FC is a multi-seller platform specializing in vintage, and is indeed a VFG member. It is my impression that FC's label archive uses labels from their various sellers, and also uses the seller's dating. Similarly to other venues like Etsy, eBay, Poshmark, etc, a seller's dating may - or may not...

Welcome to the VFG forum, @CincyDave ! We love when our forums turn up family connections. Tagging @Ranch Queen Vintage who may want to collect this information for the Label Resource. Do you have any of Aunt Esther's garments, or photographs?

Welcome to the VFG forums! Nice trench coat! I see we have another Made in Canada Aquascutum coat in our Label Resource from an 80s coat, but the label is slightly different. Trench coats are so classic they can be difficult to date, for me at least. I did find another "Aqua 5" coat online with...

a 20s drop waist handkerchief hem skirt Stretchy machine lace I am lace impaired. I browsed through the lace section of my copy of Pickens' Dictionary of Costume and Fashion - my best guess based on their illustrations would be shadow lace. But I bet not. Any lace experts like to weigh in?

According to the VFG Label Resource entry on United Hatters & Millinery Workers Union, they were folded into the ACTWU in 1983, so your Stetson should predate that. Donna's info about the use of the pictorial liner narrows it to no earlier than 1970s. So 70s to early 80s.

Bumping this for you. We do have a member who is a fur expert, Caryn @furwise . She should be able to help with fur type. You are probably aware that we are unable to do appraisals or authentications. One of the biggest factors for fur value is condition - most owners don't have access to ideal...
