    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.

    Joan Robert's beaded beauty!-designer/clothing line?

    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...

    Vintage Black Feather Hat

    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.

    Vintage Black Feather Hat

    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...

    Vintage Black Feather Hat

    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

    McGregor Mystery Label

    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.

    Please help no brand or label just a small swatch in pocket with 7286

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

    Everything you need to know about caring for your vintage collection

    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...

    Help dating Blush Pink Silk Rayon (?) Nightgown (?) Dressing Gown (?)

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

    Help with name of western clothing brand "Lilia..."

    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...

    VFG's Fresh Vintage on YouTube: 2024

    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".

    The VFG News for August 2024 is hot off the press!

    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.
