Thank you, Ruth! I am still getting used to the new nomenclature, and didn't realize I could customize the organization that works best for me.

Welcome to the VFG forums! I see that one of our members, Susan of Northstar Vintage currently has a 70s Diana Dean by Julius Lonschein jumpsuit listed on Etsy. Do you have any idea what decade the label shifted from Diana Dean to the later Lonschein version? We don't currently have your Diana...

I went searching from the other direction for info on Joan Roberts actress, and I agree with Lynne that I don't think there is a direct connection. I found two Joan Roberts - the older was born in 1918 and was the original Laurie in Oklahoma on Broadway. The younger was born in 1952, grew up...

This Saturday Evening Post article from 2016 re-publishes a 1931 article about the near extinction of egrets and other birds used to decorate women's hats. According to the original article, it became widely fashionable in the 1890s.

Please don’t take my partially informed impulse as worth hanging your hat on. :BAGUSE: Hopefully Barbara @Rue_de_la_Paix will be along soon to render an actual expert opinion. I will say that I was at the Met on Labor Day for the last day of Sleeping Beauties (wonderful!) and there was one...

Wow! Lord knows I am no feather (or hat) expert, but those look like egret, and it makes me think Edwardian, which I am not well versed in either. On an internet search, the closest I could come to the vision in my head was this period photograph, labeled as 1910s Belle Epoque

The suggestion by Jen S re: searching similar sold items on eBay is a good one. As laid out in our forum FAQs, we cannot authenticate or price items.

80s might be right. The Japanese reproduction company this reminded me of is Sun Surf, and they started in the 80s. Sun Surf shirts typically retail for more than $200.

There were Japanese companies doing very nice 50s style reproduction shirts awhile back. I hadn't specifically seen any with the McGregor label, but searching "mcgregor Japanese reproduction" did show me a vintage style t-shirt on Grailed with a McGregor label that is somewhat different than...

That’s an old dry cleaner tag. It would match the number on the receipt given to the owner for a chain of evidence.

Interesting. I haven't noticed that, but will think about it going forward. Most of my stock is stored in cardboard banker-style boxes, which breathe a bit. The moisture level in the room is ;pretty even and that seems to work OK.

I have a 40s jacket in my personal wardrobe with a Juilliard label, and was inspired by @ShabbyKathy 's post about hers to see what I could find out. My best recollection from seeing vintage magazine ads over the years was that Juilliard was the maker of the fabric, not the garment, similar to...

More likely a nightgown than a dressing gown since it goes on over your head, mussing up hairdo and makeup.

I think I found the buttons for sale

Thanks Ruth! Yes, I have had other Lilia Smith dresses as well. I think that comes from some folks winging it, and then others find them in searches, and accept the original guess as fact. We see the same problem with dating sometimes. The trademark info is pretty conclusive - someone had to...

I am reminded of Groucho Marx in A Day At The Races playing up to Esther Muir. "Thank you." "No. Thank Yo!" So... back at you. Thank YO!!

Fresh Vintage is back with a new video reel on our YouTube channel. I am very fond of the image used for the cover - it came from sheet music circa 1916. The song is titled "When Helen Cast Her Ballot".

I so enjoyed reading it. Thank you, Maggie! ETA: I was fascinated by Leigh Wishner's take on 1980s and 1990s as peak avante garde in terms of textiles. It would be wonderful to have a workshop on this here. I would love to have a new frame for 90s fashion.
