She's darling, Amanda! And seems very vivacious, which comes across in the photos! (Can you send her on loan to PA for a couple days? LOL!)

Susan, I love L'Aiglon dresses, and have tried over the years to acquire some. But since the only place I ever see them is on eBay, I usually get outbid, or the flaws are too much for me to deal with. I'd love to see some of your estate buy! Post some pics for us!!!!

Oh, and another surprising one.. Early Jonathan Logan stuff can be dynamite... Honest to God, and I'm not kidding. Their 50's pieces were trendy and nice quality. Some of the later things were nice as well.

Such a lovely dress, Lei! Stunning color! I have a 50's lace over taffeta party dress that fit me when I bought it about 6 years ago. Never had the occasion to wear it, and now it's too small. But I can't bear to part with it. I keep promising myself I'm going to lose those 20 or so pounds...

70s.... I have a few pieces of 70's loungewear, and the print on yours would fit right into a collection like them! And the mandarin collar is very 70s as well.

Oh, man, Julie, that Shannon Rodgers is hot! Love it! I can see why it made you a fan (some of the later work from the 70s can be almost dowdy; these earlier pieces are mahvelous, dahling). The piece I had from him was a 50's sundress that had those body-skimming lines. Sophisticated and...

So nice to see things for real women!!!! Keep 'em coming!

Thanks, everyone, for your help! Well, OK, since he wants something portable and doesn't want the DS, it looks like it's down to a Playstation PSP, or a used Game Boy Advance SP (Game Spot has them), which is really the one I think he'd like. He mentioned it this morning. He also said not...

Jenn, Jared's fine with something used, as long as it works! We have a local shop here that has some refurb units. I may look into that. He's just told us he doesn't want a DS, but he wants something portable... Now, what the hell would that be????

Who\'s Your Fave \"Non-Name\" Designer? There are a lot of what I call "second- or third-tier" designers. By that I mean the slew of great American designers (they don't have to be American, but I find that my favorites are) who don't have the big names but who did high-quality, stylish work...

Sharon's post inspired me to ask you all about a gift for my 12-yr-old. We feel it's time to succumb to his desparate pleas for a video-game system. He uses my PC for playing, but I need to get him off it because it's a constant struggle to get him to understand that I use my computer to make a...

Sharon, does he have the Battleship game? Not the electronic one (most kids these days need more electronics like they need a hole in the head!), but the old-fashioned one? It's cheap, so could be an "added" gift, not a main one. My oldest son (12) has ADHD and it can be very hard to find things...

Oh, yes, 70s on the first--we all wore 'em back then! On the second, I'm thinking more modern. They don't seem to be "big" enough for the 80s.... (though not everyone wore huge "fearless fly" glasses!) The cat's-eye shape of lens & frame together, in a wire frame, was popular in the 90s into...

:adore: Y'all are killing me. Red is my very favorite color in clothes and everything else... (I have several pieces in it, but none shot and/or listed--maybe I can't bear to let it go!)

That's a very nice dress; interesting lines on the waistline. And I agree to go with 50s on it....

I think it is 60s. I've had R & K dresses from the 70s with that label; I don't think it changed a whole lot over the years. I love that color! Very cute dress!

80\'s on this Victor Costa? And KW help, please.... I picked this up only cuz of the label, but thought it was kinda "meh" till I put it on the manni. Now I really like it. Velvet shell, dynamite pink satin lining, and a skirt that reminds one of a flamenco look. It is 80s, right, not 90s? Am...

Love the shoes, and the dress, and them all together! And your darling daughter! I'd either go with the red nails & lips, or go neutral on the makeup and find a red bracelet and earrings. (Personally I'd go with the jewelry 'cuz I'm not much for makeup these days.)

Agree with 60s on the tops and 70s on the vest. Very cute, all of them! The first is very "go-go" looking, which at one point was popular on eBay; I sold several pairs of go-go boots at nice prices.

OMG!!! I hear ca-ching, ca-ching.... Yes, they are 70's platform spectator shoes, and if they are real leather, which I think they probably are, you would definitely say "patent leather 70s platform red & white spectator shoes...." If not leather, then still use "patent" as a keyword. I would...

Lovely, Candy! What awesome dresses, and your presentation is top notch! I'm always envious of people who know what to do with these antique pieces of apparel.... I'd be all thumbs with 'em and would likely ruin a few.
