Looks great you guys! Iposted my first comment. I know I haven't been around lately. I have been planning my wedding. Have neglected my site, at the worst moment too. I was mentioned in Italian Glamour!!! Sandra

having a few Paulin Trigere pieces myself, I have come to the conclusion that she was one of the few designers that changed her label very infrequently. For Trigere pieces, I would never go by the designer's label. It really doesn't narrow it down. Good Luck! Sandra

Fascinating! I have an I Magnin dress with a handwritten label with the measurements printed "Moore Compnay", but nothing else. This is a great find! How exciting.

Wow~ Kick ass coat!

Hello Sara. Not mink at all. I thought it looked like sable too until I saw the silver hairs on the sable on the fur resource thread here at VFG. Sharon-you are a wealth of information! Thanks. So do I hear late 50's early 60's?

Not an ingnorant assumption at all Chris! Someone else suggested that too! If it was re-fashioned it was done by a professional. Polished BOHO, I like it!! Sandra

Hello anne and Chris! anne, yes this is a vest. Odd isn't it? Thank you for the compliment. Chris, I will take care of that!

Hello! Haven't posted much lately, so I'll just dive right in. Cannot for the life of me settle on a date for this one. I'm thinking late 50's early 60's It's got a bit of an A line to it. Has one of those covered wire hook things to close it. Longer in front to give it "stole" look...

oops, I meant Brian aka Charapa. I already know Chris!!! LOL.

Hello Chris! Welcome. Your new position sounds like a dream job!!!! I'd love to have a job like that. Sandra

I agree with Janie. Try again in a few days. It looks much better. I think your 2nd attempt will be fruitful. Sandra

Dang! i need to go to garage sales in SD. I never find stuff this good here.

The C&A board on eBay has setting prices for St. John down to a science. You might want to check them out. Sandra

This sweater is gorgeous! I would try to get the stains out. If you spot clean it with any of the above products, I'd bet they come out. Goddards is great stuff! You can use it on any non washable fabric. I used it on a silk crepe 50s dress. Nothing else worked except for Goddards. You...

I am so inspired by Acton's success at such a young age. It makes me kick myself for not pursuing a fabulous life in design when I was still young and naive. Am I too old at 30??? LOL. Great pics Maureen! Sandra

Great article! Fantastic pics too. Well done.

Take your time! Poor thing!

OH No!!!!:( I hope you didn't break it jumping up and down over your eBay sales!!! :P Feel better! Sandra Swap Meet??? come on down!!!! Love to have ya!

:mad: The bust on the sailor cutie is too big!!!! I love it! I almost BIN! Hey Kristine, i didn't know you were in So Cal! Where? I'm in Upland. Near Pomona. Sandra

Glad to help April! Sandra

Here's an exerpt from the article: "In 1953, she began designing on a freelance basis from her studio. Unusual for the time, she worked on a royalty basis, creating complete coordinated wardrobes-accesories, knits, capes and coats, dresses and separates-to be combined in layers to suit the...

Hi April. Accordng to the St. James Fashion Encyclopedia, "Bonnie Cashin Designs" were in business from 1953-77. The book shows no labels, but your label matches that name perfectly. Hope this helps. Sandra

That's what I was thinking, some sort of dancing shoe. The shape of the heel really threw me for a loop though. As well as a the buckle mechanism. Is this type of bucke normal for a ballroom shoe? Thanks April! Sandra

anyone else?

The bottoms are suede also. Isn't that weird?

I am sooo stumped on these. The vamp says 70s but the heel looks 30s and the buckle is just strange. They have a sliding mechanism that causes tension as you pull the straps into place and locks them down. They are made of the softest suede I have ever felt, very plush. But here's the...

I was getting ready to ditch the leopard because it feels like such a jump from the main page to the shop page (aka babylonmall store). Linda did a great job of laying hers out so it looks seamless. Does mine feel like a big jump? And, i can't get the same on'off link colors because the light...

Very well put Barbara. I agree on all points. I just had a similar conversation with a Babylon seller about diversification of selling venues as well. Sandra

I've been meaning to do more with selling vintage than just, well, sell vintage. So I now have a new website that includes The Deblog-my vintage blog. Critique, tell me what you think. Be honest! Keep in mind, it's stil being finalized. Sandra

Excellent advice Lizzie. I am definately in your school of thought. I was second guessing myself last night, as I am opening a website as a window to Babylon also. But my fiance snapped me back into reality. I have already made up for the cost of Babylon with very few sales. That feels good!!!!
