Looks so good! Congrats :clapping:

Hi persephone60, I agree with 70's or very possibly even later. The lace looks nylon to me, and those plastic buttons are a give away as well. But as a reproduction, from the outside its a very good one, and very pretty!

That dress is too cute for words, lucky you!! Agree with early 60's dating also :)

Oh my, you have outdone yourself this time Karin!! :clapping:

Happy to help Rebecca! and Vintage Lingerie is my favourite thing to collect :)

Hi Rebecca, Thanks for the extra info and photos. Based on this I think you could go with late 1930s to mid 1940s with dating. The length from waist to hem is right for this period, prior to this corsets were designed to fit higher on the body towards the bust. Have you had a look at our...

HI Rebecca, thanks for the label pic- this looks more like 40s to me and the lining looks like cotton - but at the end of the day, forgive me but what decade was your mother born in ? . That will give you a guide to when she was wearing this corset. So if she was born in the 20's or 30s it would...

HI Rebecca. Can you post a photo of the label for us? that would help with the dating. At first look though, its likely to be 1950s or a little earlier.

:clapping:That was SO great!! I want the salad Bowl hat- I really do!!!

I agree with Carrie, the machine sewn hem. the length, lack of lining, all say 1940s to me.

No help Louise, but this dress is adorable!

Awesome! I will be in Hobart in late September, Op Shops here I come :clapping:

Oh my MJ- if those Pajamas would fit me I would have snapped them up :wub:

Thanks so much Trish! :)

Weird, but great weird!! :clapping:

Hi Postboxred, What a beautiful coat, an amazing score!. And you deserve kudos for A. finding this at Glastonbury, and B. for the dedication of walking for an hour to safely stow the coat in the car. Full marks to you!! :USETHUMBUP:

Welcome Priyanka, Groovy Twinkies, and BirdCageVintage , you will love it here!! :hiya:

Wow Donna, what a score!! I vote 40s also, they are beautiful :)

Hi Melanie, Great shirt- love it!. That cut of sleeve is usually just called a square armhole as far as I am aware, not a sexy description but that's what it is!

I am seeing 70s 'does' 40s . Its seems odd that the belt is in the paler shade and doesn't have the same contrast fabric as the collar? The width and shape of the collar doesn't seem right for actual 40s. Is there a label?

It's that time again- please check out this weeks freshest Vintage from our members!

Thats so weird!! It reminds me of the statue they used in the Movie 'Tommy'

Amazing zip Melanie, I would be setting that one in by hand though, that's for sure!

Hi Caryn, just to clarify re Australian Possums, they are rampant in urban housed neighbourhoods- often living in roofs.We had 2 species living in our roof until recently, ring tail at the front, brush tail at the back. I see them on a daily basis in my inner city backyard in trees and running...

Hi Dale, Nicole has given you great advice, so the only other piece I can give you, is to reiterate that you should be very afraid of shrinkage when dying. To dye anything black it is usually exposed to very high or boiling temperatures- cold water procion dyes might work- but once you get that...

Welcome Madame Vintage and Elizabeth :hiya:, I hope you both love it here :)

Now that is fantastic, perfectly done, those ads could be the real deal!. I especially liked the 'Statuettes' one :clapping:

HI Molly, Its just unusual to have the elastic panel at the front- that is usually where you actually want the support and constriction to flatten the tummy. The side lacing is often found on maternity corsets. See the links below for examples that I found on pinterest.:)...
