:jawdrop: Amazing.

Hi Sandi, I cant help with who the designer was of your piece, but it looks to have been made to order for the original owner by a seamstress- but not to couture standards , especially the finishing of the darts . I do wonder if the pants were originally lined as well? That doesn't mean its not...

They are fantastic !, you should add these to your 'if I had a million dollars' wish list Jonathon!

Hi Phoebe, the use of brown pattern card in the fashion industry has been around for a very long time- I would suggest brown craft card is what was used in the 40s. I am sure that cross hatch/dot paper is a relatively new development.

Our pleasure! :)

My Pleasure- please let us know how you go with this!

Hi again!. Thanks for the photo. I would be tempted to just replace the entire collar and facing. If the suit is all black apart from the contrast collar as it appears in the new pic, then perhaps you could search for some similar vintage fabric with the gold embossing, and have a...

Oh I love Ferragamo shoes ! I was lucky enough to go to the Ferragamo Museum in Florence years ago, as part of a private viewing for the attendees of the Costume Colloquium conference that year, and It was just amazing, so many gorgeous shoes from decades past, swoon!:wub:

Hi Thomas, and so glad you found us here!. I think you will enjoy learning more about your collections from our trade members. :)

Hi again- well sure if its for your own use only and not for resale, you could certainly unpick the lower collar stand fabric, and apply that by hand as a edge trim to hide the damaged section of the outer collar. Is that section of fabric strong though?. Its tricky to comment further without...

Thanks for the close up photo. Sadly I am not aware of any easy way to fix this- the fraying is significant, and it looks like the sweat has damaged the fabric. All I can think of is to unpick the back collar and hand sew fabric down to replace the original. Is there anything in the hem or...

Hi, Are you able to please post a close up photo of the frayed area for us? That would help us assist you better.:) I would not use any fray stop products on the problem area specially if it is silk or acetate- as it can dry hard and also stain some fabrics.

Thanks MS! You can never have too many kittens in my opinion! :cats:hello kitty emoti:cats:

This is my all time favourite, and it was deadstock 1960's too complete with tags. another cute 60's apron- with kittens! and more kittens!

Harriet thanks for sharing- that sounds fascinating !

That is stunning, I hope we can learn more about this gown!

Hi MC, the Vintage Singer machine looks like a beauty, well done for finding it! I am glad the hat project wasn't all for nothing then, and I hope you can make another band for it. Happy sewing ! sewingmachineemoti

Loving this thread! :wub:

Amazing!:wow22:

Gosh I wish your dress could talk! I am guessing a socialite or wife of a diplomat or something like that owed the gown originally in the 50's, or could someone famous has brought it over when the Lord of the Rings films were being filmed in new Zealand and not wanted to take it back home? If...
