Oh Maggie - your "Vintage in Process" Pinterest board is WONDERFUL

This pin was given to me as a child, so it's about 60 - 65 years old ... and I have never worn it ... time to move it along. Is the 208 referring to the silver content? Does the "signature" ring any bells?

It is "Haute Couture Week" in Paris. The NY Times has posted a 'scrapbook' of designers of couture at work and play HERE. This is Jacques Fath, 1951, in his studio.

My Mom had a robe just like this CHENILLE ROBE in the 1950s

VFG members, please show us your "new" vintage listings.

Yes, I'd like to see a close-up of whatever is going on with the embroidery on the red material. Does it have shoulder pads? Is it lined? With?

I wish one of the true "experts" would pipe up. My gut reaction is early 30's...

And why three large and four smaller?

It's time to have a peek at new listings by members. Please share (limit 5). Photo courtesy Debbie Sessions (Vintage Dancer.com)

Yes - I am anxious to see Caryn's dream coat as well. Here's something fun I had pulled off Pinterest and I had been meaning to show it to Caryn.

I am mesmerized by THIS VIDEO - the quality is so sharp. It's Berlin and Munich, Germany. And then think about what the future will bring to this country.

Sorry if this is a repeat share. (This thread is SO long!) I came across it while researching hats. 1940's.

Hi Vic. I looked up this label in 'Newspaper Archives' and all the ads are from the 1950s. Many of their ads say the dresses are "inspired" by either current movie stars or movies of that time. For example, from one ad with drawings of the garments - Bravo to Natlynn Jrs, for these inspired...

Yes MJ, I had the same reaction. Muted Peter Max.

Flocked? Could you call it that?

Please share your recent listings here VFG members ... This photo from my town's historical society. We know the identification of each young lady.

It's probably really obvious, but I'm only coming up with boucle ... insets ... decorations.... ?? The dress is a satin brocade and the design is poppies, which is pretty neat.

Does this help? The horse is bucking - practically doing a hand stand (hoof stand?) with its tail in the air near the rim of the hat's silhouette. The hat is more of the classic 1920's style with the high crown. The boy has something around his neck which is in the photo as well.

Hi. Does it say 'Paris'? Is it made in France? Or is there a 'made in USA/dry clean only' tag? Is it numbered? I googled "How to spot a fake Dior" and got lots of sites to authenticate bags and sunglasses, but not clothing. Hard to tell what that is - a long sleeveless fleecy vest ?

Welcome. There are some good threads HERE that offer all kinds of information. And questions are always welcomed. Members are very generous with sharing their knowledge.

It's a new year. Can we see some new vintage?

I'm not sure about the switch from Hong Kong to China on labels in 1997, but I'm quite sure most VFG member wouldn't call something from 1997 or later 'vintage'. What I keep an eye out for is the older label - "Made in British Crown Colony of Hong Kong" which was used a lot on quality...

A new year! Members, please share your new listings with us.

And here's someone from the International Costume Jewelry Collectors group on Facebook who made a skirt out of 550 Christmas pins.

Seasons Greetings to Everyone. If any VFG members are listing over the holidays, please share with us.

Here's something unexpected...

At The London Coliseum where The Nutcracker is showing.
