Oh I hope Karin gets to go!! :)

That's a fabulous story Melanie- thanks for sharing it!

Stunning! Personally I love those sheep too.

I loved that video back in the 80s! Its so great seeing it again.

Hi Joanne, your coat is saying early 1970s to me - but lets see what the rest of the team have to say. The label seems to have been added on as the stitching is not original by the look of it, or perhaps it fell off and the original owner tried to sew it back on?. The crushed velvet was...

The collection is fabulous Karin, and that 1940s one is a real treasure!

I wore them a lot at my primary school swimming club, I remember some of them being amazing and textured like coral, but I am sure back then I would have hated wearing them!

I must get a copy of this Karin!

Its very pretty- but to me a little creepy too It somehow reminds me of that guys house in the movie Silence of the lambs!

HI Linda, That costume is awesome! I would place my bet on late 60's - early 70's.

VINTAGE 1940s Dress Pattern In 2 Styles Advance size 34 Bust 37 Hip

Hi Maureen, I am talking about the leg openings, at the side hem not the waist. I fear I may have totally caused confusion! hello kitty emoti

I hate to disagree Maureen, but in my experience, period men's breeches do have side closures at the hem, as costume and also the historical breeches that I have studied.

As a costume person-They sure look like men's breeches to me, especially the fishtail cut of the back waist which usually have darts. The waist size seems to be 30 on that label- so a small mens size in my opinion. They have a pseudo military look to me, like Melanie suggested .

You nailed it Jonathan- the swimsuit is SO like the costumes from Logans Run !.

Hi Jennifer,this dress is intriguing that's for sure. Lots of thoughts, but no answers I am afraid! It interesting that the stitching of the hook section of the clasp is not as well sewn as the 'eye' part. I wonder if it was moved and re-sewn at some point? I am also wondering if this could have...

Hi Jennifer, thanks for the extra pics. That zip is interesting as the stitching of it seems fine- now I am wondering if its just the way it was pressed at some stage of its history, that makes it seem 'wobbly' from the right side of the garment. As for the lining that we can see in the inside...

Hi Jennifer, that's a fantastic dress, I love the cut and the placement of the spots . The fastening is unusual for a dress, and the hand sewing of the loop section of the metal closure looks very neat. I would vote 1960's as well. Can you show us some inside photos and a close up of how the...

Hi Jennifer, great dress and it looks very 1960's to me- love that collar. The zipper may have been replaced at some stage as well, it is not sewn very well, I agree totally with Karin's suggestion of alterations at some stage of this garments life. I hope you can find out if it is original.

I agree with the Japanese WW2 theory, and the colour of the uniform looks right for that too, BUT it could also be British from WW1 for the same reasons!
