Another vote for 1970's. Nice condition on this jacket too.

Hi, it looks lovely. Is it a full square in shape, and what are the dimensions?

Welcome to the VFG Barbara! You are amazing!

Thanks, it looks much larger in the photo with your fingers. So maybe not a coat button.

What a great idea for a gift. It reminds me of the old vintage airline carry on bags. No clue on the figure, maybe 2 people running to catch a flight?

Looks to be a coat button, maybe Victorian or Edwardian can you give the measurements across?

Welcome Susan!

Not sure either, it could be beaver (not sheared beaver).

I also see 1980s.

I agree with 1960s, probably the first half of the decade. Its cute! While we do not give values here on the VFG, you can search on Ebay for sold prices on similar hats. Prices are all over the map on these. The label is a licensed label, which tells us it is not a Christian Dior couture...

I wonder if this could possibly be French Haute Couture and the lace was made especially for the design house. Just a thought, my imagination is going crazy with this lovely garment. Is it hand sewn, etc?

I am seeing 1930s in this beautiful blouse. And the lace is so SO unusual that I wonder if it this is something more special than we know at this time.

That is so interesting! Good job, Lynne! I find it odd that her name is spelled 4 different ways.

Can we see the hat? I personally would wash the gloves using glove soap and luke warm water, put them and wash your hands with the gloves on. Use a glove form or gently stuff them as they dry, and every so often put them on to help keep down any shrinkage. I do it with my leather gloves all...

That is a beauty! I am not familiar with that name. However, I suspect that it is a made up name, a name made up by the millinery company that made the hat. It was a fairly common practice in the early 20th century. They may or may not have rented a small Paris postal box address to make it...

I think my boyfriend wore that shirt in the 1970s, no kidding!

She is cute! The net had no practical purpose and was, as you say, purely decorative. At one time netting and veiling did serve a purpose other than decorative, but no longer. I might say the last time net had a purpose was in the 1960s, for older women to help hide their age and wrinkles...

Maggie is right, it is not actually part of the hat. Your hat is a woman's stylized straw fedora, named after a man fedora. See if the front or back of the brim can "snap" down a bit to give it more style. Cannot tell for sure what kind of straw it is, looks like Panama or a Panama style weave.

I usually look to see if the guard hairs, the fine tips of each strand, are present or have been sheared off. Sheared beaver is popular, not sure about mink.

I cannot help, but wonder if that is not a printed pattern but actual lace made in the Batternburg lace style. That might help in your search. Also, the color is unique so it is possible that the set dresser dyed a white lace sheet set. China made a lot of this same style lace for clothing...

The hat style is so classic it could be from the 1960s to the 1990s or even newer. It is a good quality hat, I can say that, as it is made from imported fur-felt and not the cheaper wool felt. The only clue to dating might be the flower. If it is original to the hat, I might place this in...

It does look like organdy to me. Hard to be sure without handling it.

I don't think its snake, it look more like lizard.

What a great photo. I am not sure what you are referring to, but I see what looks like a flower stuck in her waist, and a button trim flange or button trimmed pocket.

Sadly, I have to agree with Donna, the hat has little resale value. Sort of a Juliet or a small beret shape.

Its a lovely hat. My feelings are it is home made, or made by a student of millinery or a fledgling milliner in a hat shop. Not 100% sure but it has that look to it, on the inside. Not a particular style, sort of an oversized pillbox or, again, a toque. I really like the velveteen leaf that...

Hi, I might call it a toque rather than a pillbox, I would call it bumper toque. The feathers are coque (rooster), looks like a mix of hackles and tail feathers.

While we do not authenticate here on the VFG Forums, I might say that I have not heard of fake Woolrich items.

It appears to be a type of tambour lace. And GORGEOUS color!

Locke is a very very old maker and considered one of the best. I don't think its worth it to try to see what is under the sweatband and risk damaging the hat. I actually have not ever found anything on the underside of a leather hat band. There might be a tiny inventory tag but that won;t...
