I have no legs on my manni! I need a stocking display leg really, must buy one.. I'll take a picture later if I can. The label being transferred makes sense Liz - I had assumed they must be 70s because.. well, they're purple and glittery! I didn't think that could be the price in the 70s but...

From the VFG quick tips when I googled (always under your nose, you see)! "Garment Care labels began in 1971 in the USA. The current labels were introduced in 1983.. ... International care symbols were developed 1971"

I just wondered if someone else has written the price on? Or if they are 80s? I'll redo the right side of the label shot later. when would you expect to see sparkly purple leggings though? I think the care labels were introduced in the 70s, can't remember the date but will go check if I can...

Thanks guys! I cried when I saw it... I have a Helga dress with similar pockets (which I love) that I am very nearly wiggled into now. Must put down the chocolate that is in my hand as we speak..

Jonathan that's fabulous! And a wonderful provenance to boot :)

I have this dress, strapless gold lame - can't do an accent on the 'e'! - overlaid in black net. fantastic apron like hip pockets (term? escapes me) in perfect condition, aside from some dustiness. That's the braggy bit. Silly vintage seller who should know better sends to cleaners.. they...

hang on, i've done something crazy with my image... let me fix it!

I bought these sparkly purple leggings last week, which have the gold biba label in the resource, and an old price sticker on the reverse. It's the pricing that's confusing me.. they start off a lot more expensive than I would expect for some 70s leggings/footless tights. Here's the old...

Still no luck. Familiar to anyone else?

Hang on, somewhere I have my store room... a few more bits and pieces in temporary storage..in another room and there are more but I could go on all night, lol!

So it's no. 5 shoes that are on the pulse! Funny, I thought there was little hope of them sinking into obscurity somehow... :headbang:

Hollis, you are too good! I'll have to show my husband the pinstripes.. he has a weakness :D

Not irrelevant Anne! A metal ring through either sides (above the black swirls of enamel) and a chain and you'd have a very flash necklace!

That is quite unusual isn't it, being a little low cut? I am a sucker for leg o'mutton sleeves too!

I was waiting for you to ask Maggie - then luckily I worked out the lining bit myself - your bags are wonderful, and I am certainly no competition judging by mt last night performance (I still managed to sew the lining in backwards, handles inside the lining - and had to spend hald an hour...

:clapping: Hello!

Linda, I think I love you! LOL - thank you so much, I shall try that next. And Chris I love the ribbon idea too, will experiment.... **(sorry, edited as I had a headache last night and meant tiff with ribbon idea, chris for buttons - have utilised!)

It's ok, I think I worked out just how easy it is! But any good ideas for fastenings welcomed :)

I am going slightly mad. saturday is my son's 4th birthday party, and for the first time I have bitten the bullet and hired a hall and a magician for 20 kids. (last 3 years I have got away with bbq and no guests under the age of 25, very mean of me, but now he is at school all has changed!)...

I think my own grey background is too dark; I need to invest in a paler dove grey colour I think, then maybe I'll have cracked it (plus a new halogen strip) Thanks for letting me know Hollis - they look super, of course! :)

Ooh more wedding dresses! Very nice - love the strapless/ bolero one too... :)

I see what you mean -interior looks a bit later, exterior looks all angular and 40s deco! I think your safe to leave well alone, and that goes for the price too... Think how much it would be new? :)

I'm sure they'll be more desperate than ever to win it now Linda! The whole ebay thing is really nasty when it comes to reporting auctions (especially with their 'act first, ask questions later' approach to pulling them), and I think I'd rather think it was an adminsistrator doing that. You'll...

Everything you ever wanted to know about rayon (you never know, someone may find it useful!) http://ohioline.osu.edu/hyg-fact/5000/5538.html

Anne I forgot, sorry - bumping up to remind myself and anyone else that may have one!

great link Senti, gave me a giggle :) - and good to see you!:hiya:

Just checking out Linda's Shaheen on the blog. Oh, how I love that dress....

I've got a Lanvin shirtdress, slightly earlier, and I admit I have been shoving it to the back of the rail as I'm not sure what to price it at! I think in a case like this you just have to decide how much you would be hapy to accept and start fairly near there, or just do a buy it now (if...

Ditto everyone! Do you use different shades of grey background Hollis? or is it just your magical lighting (that I still can't master!) making them look diferent.

Can't find anything on google, but there are a few on ebay. Here's one with a label picture- is it the same? http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-Virginie-Paris-Skirt-Top-W-Matching-Scarf_W0QQitemZ9328325003QQihZ006QQcategoryZ63862QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItem Will keep looking!
