Its a beauty. I agree it was part of a suit, and had a matching skirt. Looks very early 1950s to me, possibly very late 40s. Nice find!

That dress looks wonderful on the dress form. Great colors and pattern!

Thank you for sharing your photographs. Based on the sepia toned photos, there really is no way of knowing for sure if they are dressed for a mourning period. They all wear dark colored clothing, but we cannot know what actual colors they actually are. Even if they are all wearing black, that...

Happy Anniversary! You look great.

Welcome Deb! Your inventory is delightful!

We do not have Florell in the Label Resource as yet. Walter Florell. Custom milliner who rose to his greatest fame in the 1940s and 1950s. Born in Germany, he moved America as a young man and landed a job designing hats at the millinery salon of Lilly Dache' in 1936. In 1939 he left to open...

I do not know a name for the color mix, but the fur looks like wolf.

Well, I still cannot tell from the photos. If it were felt, I doubt the interior would have all the interlining and foundation plus a satin lining on top of all that. So it might be fur, or could also be a faux fur. Under the netting you show in your last photo, does that light colored part...

Can you show the interior of the one you think is rabbit pelt? It could be skin with fur like rabbit or beaver as you say. I know the term "fur felt" can be a little confusing if you are not familiar with it. The hats are indeed made from felt, and the felt is made from fur. Fur felts...

I agree with Bonnie, she has given you some good information. They all appear to be from the 1960s. They are made of imported fur felt with a brushed nap which was very popular in the early to mid 1960s. As were the cloche ad jockey shapes. The only milliner's name I recognize is Amy, New...

I might call it a novelty brocade or brocatelle. It does have some aspects of a Matelasse' also.

Now WHERE on earth did I put that $10,000 I was saving for a rainy day?? Time to spend it at Kerry Taylor auctions! :hearteyes::hearteyes::hearteyes:

Oh those are SO cute!

Perhaps it was worn with, for lack of a better term, sleeves garters, maybe 2 or even 3 on each sleeve to create a Renaissance look?

I also think this is skunk. And WOW! What a fabulous coat!

I might date this 1901 ish, with those tight straight sleeves and the banded effect on the sleeves. Lets see what others think.

What a great find for a rummage sale. Wonderful that it is in such great condition too. It would be helpful to see the whole sleeve, pulled away fro the bodice so we can see the sleeve's shape. But it is Edwardian, looks like first half of the decade. While it is black and could have been...

Spoonflower is a company that can replicate patterns on a new fabric. Not sure if they still exist but I think so. I don't know about any copyrights, etc.

That is charming!

Perhaps 1970s, as that particular style of chain was popular then.

That is a lovely and interesting garment. At first it looked to be more contemporary than 1950, maybe 1970s to 1990s. But that cannot be the case as you stated. Perhaps this was lounging attire, maybe 1930s with that loose fit and flutter sleeves. I could see it worn with wide leg pants or...

I ADORE Ralph Lauren. From the SOLD archives, men's leather "croc" slippers.

While I am not well versed in military caps, I can add that brass buttons with the letter P can often be from policeman's caps or uniforms. This one appears to be a summer cap or from a country that has a warm climate. Hopefully someone here will recognize it.

I wanted to add that to me it does look to be a dropped waist as has been mentioned. I would call that a banded yoke waist. And yes, seeing it on a real model or dress form will be helpful too. Did I say it is very very cute? It is!

This one is a bit of mix of styles, but I sure do recall dresses like this style back in the 1970s, 1972 to 74 ish if my memory is working correctly. And Aqib, not all dresses were polyester in the 70s. Think it reminds me a bit of Betsy Johnson's early 70s designs, which were usually cotton...

Oh, maybe you are right. Glenover is probably what he meant.

Hello, Hard to get a good idea of what the hat looks like, but I would date it to the late 1950s to early 1960s time period. I am not familair with what you mean by a collaboration with Glenn? Who is Glenn? Pollack made the wool hat bodies which were sold to numerous hat making companies...

Welcome to you, Amy. Your shops are stunning and I will be spending some time there browsing around at the gorgeous things.

This is a very interesting journey of discovery that you are on. I have had a few Old Masters items over the years and my mom had a few also in the 1960s (at least 1960s is my memory of it). I have had fabric covered compacts, eyeglass cases, small vanity bags, a 3 compartment vanity box for...
