Are you referring to the fold in the mink collar? Marian

WOW, again. Marian

I knew an elegantly dressed dealer who often wore "men's" ties, with the knot about mid chest on a plain long sleeved silk blouse with either a skirt or pants. I loved the look and would like to see this done more often now. It was a wonderful way to show off the colors and patterns in a tie...

I am not sure this is 1960's. I could be a later hat from a wedding shop or wedding department of a fabric shop. Hope others will respond. Marian

I also would call it a Glen Plaid. It is a bit brighter and has more color and texture than earlier ones, but is consistent with the 60's. Marian

Excellent choice of shoes. Marian

The colors and silhouettee say 60's. I agree with no crinoline, too. Marian

It seems 1970's to me. It does have a 1940'ish shape but lacks the crisp fabric and detailing from that time period. Some of the wool 1970's suits are very nice and your suit appears to be one of them. Marian

I had a dark maroon colored shirt with this label some time ago. I believe it is from the early 1940's. Just a guestimate based on workmanship, thread, fabric and the high buttoned up collar. Marian

It looks very 1910's to me. It probably originally had a skirt. Nice find. This ribbed wool fabric can be darned satisfactorily. Marian

I wonder if the white slip might be early 1950's. The shaping, length, lavish use of lace and explanation of nylon suggest that to me. Marian

Yep, the colors and the metal zipper yell late 1960's. Marian

Weights in hems were to hold the drape in place especially in long gowns with trains. I have seen them in early custom made gowns. Marian

Corde is made of gimp sewed in decorative patterns to a cloth background. Gimp is the individual rounded cord of fabric used for decorative purposes. So a purse can be crocheted of rounded cords and thus is a crocheted purse, but the same rounded cords could have been laid in a decorative...

I love Harris Tweed. In the early 1950's I purchased a woman's light blue and gray full length coat at a San Francisco thrift store. I believe it was from the 1930's. I wore it for a number of years, then gave it to my mother who lived on a farm. She liked to wear it while doing outside chores...

Yes, 1930's. There were a number of early composition plastics - not just bakelite - that were used for buckles. Marian

Oh my! Where are you geographically? You need a mentor. But you can learn a lot from reading. Many of the the excellent books on this site have chapters on care of vintage. You have to know something about fabrics, too. Some vintage garments can only be dry cleaned, while others can be safely...
