Those do go missing! Are you in an area where there are tailors or seamstresses/seamsters? They may have a covert cloth remnant or have a way to get hands on one and then recreating the piece would not be hard for a professional. Another thought is to contact Fox Brothers to see if they have a...

Statement Collars What exactly makes a statement collar … well, a statement collar? Is it the exaggerated size? The intricacy of the design? The costly materials that are used – lace or jewels or fur? Does it even have to be attached to a garment? Or worn by a human being? Here at the VFG, we...

Well the theme is definitely American. Were you looking for info about the maker, or the date, or?

Gorgeous! It looks a bit like this one from our Wedding Resource, dated 1943: https://vintagefashionguild.org/app/uploads/2023/11/1943-magsrags-wysock-scaled.jpg Do you know what year it was first worn? That's a lot of satin and it looks to me like duchesse satin. Probably rayon or acetate...
