    SPOTLIGHT ON VINTAGE: VINTAGE COLLECTIONS – WHAT DO YOU COLLECT?

    My personal vintage passions are jewelry, handbags, and coats. My family had always collected antique and vintage furniture, depression glass, and porcelain ware. So I grew up with an appreciation of those things. My sister got me started with "wearable vintage" when she took me to a newly...

    Type of collar on this dress?

    Cute dress! I'd call it a cape collar.

    Fresh Vintage - March 26 - April 1

    Karin, that was the dress I made for my senior prom! (Actually, I made it for another event, but wore it to my prom.) I still have the pattern. I made it in a semi-sheer lavender swiss-dot with a taffeta lining through the body and the long, unlined sleeves. I trimmed the neckline in a cotton...

    who is the designer?

    I think you need a room addition for this! :)

    who is the designer?

    I'm sort of surprised I got it right, but who else did such outrageous and delicious designs? LOL. I thought of him immediately, and in searching images on google, found several "bubbly" and "petal-y" designs.

    who is the designer?

    Do we get more than one guess? I have two American designers in mind. The first is Bob Mackie (not that this looks like his work, but is outlandishly wonderful like it, and I did see a dress with "petals" all down the back). If not him, I have another, but if we're allowed just one, that's it.

    Necklines...

    I would just call it a shallow square neckline.

    Fantastic piece; congrats on the find!

    Dating a Suede (?) Jacket with Lightning Zipper

    I pretty much agree with Jonathan, but might narrow it down to mid 50s to early 60s. The style, not the maker or the material, is similar to the popular "Clipper jackets" of that time. But it's a fairly timeless style. The material looks "from here" to be nubuck, not suede. Nubuck is the sanded...

    Help Dating Scandinavian tam

    Cute! My immediate thought was 70s, but could be late 60s. These knitted tams were very popular when I was in high school, which would be during that time frame. I wore them a lot! The font on the label also looks to be from that era.

    Handbag Label Help

    I can't read the tag; can you possibly rotate the view and enlarge the tag? From what I can see of the bag, it doesn't look vintage, but that's going only by what's visible in the photo. As Ruth says, if you can show more pics of the bag and describe it, somebody will be able to give you an...

    removing febreze / smoke from non washable garments

    I've never tried kitty litter on anything except handbags that have smelled musty or of cigarette smoke, but it works beautifully. I think if you put a dress in a mesh laundry bag (to keep too much litter from getting on it), then put that in a bag of kitty litter, it might work for most odors.

    Dating Union Made Kangol Hat

    Can you attach an image of the full hat, not just the labels? Preferably on a head form if you can.

    What is this purse??

    I see 80s, too, and it looks very nicely made. The oxblood color makes me think it's early 80s, as that color was very popular in the 70s. I think you could call it a saddle-bag type of messenger bag. I can't tell, of course, without an "in-person" examination, but it might be genuine eelskin...

    What would you call this dress?

    I would call it a lounger or lounging gown, something in between a bathrobe/housecoat and a hostess gown. Most hostess gowns I've worn, had, and/or sold were dressier and often made of "slinkier" fabric. This would have been, I'm pretty sure, more for daytime casual wear at home. One could...

    cleaning chiffon dress - 20's / 30's?

    I've had good luck with rayon crepe, silk chiffon, and rayon or silk satin dresses of this age and into the 30s with using a nubby (like soft terrycloth) cloth lightly dampened with rubbing alcohol and very gently rubbing. This has worked for dust, some stains, and even mildew that hasn't...
