cute outfit! Not 60s, pretty sure it is 50s. sue

saw a couple of items that I know Keara would love, but unfortunately the size is wrong :(

Bishop sleeve, 70s and very pretty! Sue

I'm with Melody.. lame matelasse weave. Sue

Congrats Mary Jane! Claire, have a wonderful time in Vienna...and looking forward to your next stumper :)

Unfortunately, for those of us in Canada, several channels (HULU, etc) can not be seen online. It is annoying :( Sue

Only because I have an 80s Gianfranco Ferre dress in very similar fabric and silhouette, that is my guess :).

What a wonderful looking exhibit Jonathan! I would love to come see it, and given I'm not that far away, there should be no excuse - other than I won't drive the 401 and Paul travels so much. Hopefully I will be able to get in and see it.

I did better than I thought I would. The 80s ones, I had the right decade, but more than a 5 year gap on my guesses and the actual dates. Fun!

That is awesome Nicole! :clapping::USETHUMBUP::clapping:

Definitely 60s - I'm going with mid - and that metallic matelasse fabric was very popular then. Ann's Vogue Shop must have been relatively popular because I have found several over the years up here in Ontario. All have been 60s/70s era.

Definitely early 70s due to the style and that trim was one of the most popular trims used during the late 60s and 70s.

Lauren, I would also say late 60s on this (may be a cusper, but I'm leaning strongly to 67 - 69)

The news articles are a fascinating read and the comments fun - the University article is even more interesting. Thanks for the share!

These shoes are amazing! Not my size but a treat to view.

Many people (myself included) will also purchase older items in total disrepair for salvage purposes of the trim and fabric. Also people purchase for pattern and study. Items from the 1800s to 1940s seem to be the most desirable I'm with Ruth on her comments on your other questions :)

Thanks for the tip Maggie!

Fabulous window display! VERY eye catching!

RIP Mr. Miller

Those are great! The Ossie Clark one is my fave :)

Have to agree with the others on this lace. The flower motifs are giving me a 60s vibe.

I'm also going to say early 70s. I went to a wedding in 73 and had almost the identical dress in navy with white dots.

Good catch on the clasp replacement Laura. So you feel it is earlier rather than later? I remember seeing quite a few necklaces similar style at art/craft fairs in the 90s. I think it is the butterfly that I am questioning mainly as to ascertaining the age.

Jewelry is not my strong point, however the clasp, butterfly and style looks to me like one of the Victorian styles that were so popular in the 90s. Very pretty though!

I believe these are still being made, or at least were in the late 90s. My SIL purchased one for my MIL when she was in Spain during the late 1990s. It was brand new, not vintage. The style has not changed a lot over the years although I believe the composition of the ribbon has. Hopefully...

It looks like an underdress to a two piece set from the 80s. It would have had a long deep v-necked top to wear with it.

I love unique oddities like this! These are great!

:clapping::drinkingtoast::clapping: Jody, that is SO cool!

Excellent information. I just checked and I'm clean. Thanks Maggie!

Great info Jonathan! And "obscure" is an excellent word to apply to some of these labels which are little known. Cute suit and I think your best selling venue would be Etsy. As to price, that I'm not sure of.
