    Is this Van Raalte garment a robe? A nightgown? 60s? Confused!

    Yes I agree with Melanie- Nightgown for sure, and probably late 60's even 70's.

    Sweater Guards?

    Oh my- these are just adorable! I don't know much about these, I don't think they were as popular in Australia as the USA- but I know when I have seen these in the movies they are on cardigans with buttons as well .

    Trying to date this short Vanity Fair nightie... Early 60s?

    I get it- :) but safer to go with 'Nightgown' or 'Negligee' I reckon, as its still too long for for a babydoll in my book pillowfightemoti

    Trying to date this short Vanity Fair nightie... Early 60s?

    HI Jen, with only a few buttons- yep I would go with a 'nightgown' or Negligee then, and 60's would be fine, or say late 60's -early 70's to cover yourself even.

    Trying to date this short Vanity Fair nightie... Early 60s?

    Sorry to disagree Melanie- but I think its later myself- more late 60's, and if it buttons all the way through, would actually be a peignoir or a brunch coat. Babydoll usually means much shorter, usually worn with matching bloomers,shorts or panties. Its very pretty- love the colour!

    Dating mens pin stripe wool trousers with Police Suspenders

    :) Hi Samoon, those pics help a lot. The lining and construction does look possibly 40's, so I am now in the camp with the rest of the team- that they could be 40's and altered later on

    Dating mens pin stripe wool trousers with Police Suspenders

    Of course that could be it Hollis- I was thinking they had been made as a costume though- not for street wear, you know 70's does 40's etc etc........

    Dating mens pin stripe wool trousers with Police Suspenders

    I am still in the 70's camp personally, they just don't look right to me for 30's-40's. The serging/overlocking look very wrong for the period as do the fly buttons. It is possible they have been altered for sure as Nicole has suggested. And they did have heavy wool in the 70's of course, I have...

    I agree Maureen that the waistband seems a little wide, and that the backing seems more recent :USETHUMBUP:

    Dating mens pin stripe wool trousers with Police Suspenders

    HI Samoon, The braces are wonderful and definitely vintage. Something about your trousers though is making me wonder. The belt loops are not right at all, they shouldn't be there. I suspect your trousers are from a professional stage costume made in the 70's ( 70's does 40's for instance) . I...

    Help Making Midnight Cowboy Joe Buck Costume

    Ben I agree with Joan- about 3 inches for the horseshoe patches. And I would take a deep breath and just ( carefully) cut the fringing- it will hang better if it's not taped that's all- and look more like the real deal as well.:)

    HI Ben- I love the Jacket, Hat and Boots- bravo!. The hat is worth the bucks- truly. But I wouldn't be hot glue gunning those stars on- you are going to have to wash that shirt at some stage. If you cant sew at all sewingmachineemoti- I would consider maybe safety pinning them on from the...
