I still have all sorts of things that I bought new so don't feel bad. A few years ago I posted a couple of skirts that I bought (new) in the early '80s. I think that this dress is the "oldest" piece of clothing that I bought new that I still have. I bought it in 1979. (If only it fit....)...

Sorry, I don't know, off-hand but it's a great purse. I did a quick search for Kane M and there are some other pieces for sale online. I don't have time now to follow up but you might see if you find something. Or maybe do a search for Kane M as a closure! Hopefully someone else will be...

Welcome, Elen - I love Art Deco jewelry - and purses of all type. Please ask about anything you find!

I think someone has colored the "S" in with a pen. Here are all the Burberrys labels in the VFG Label Resource: https://vintagefashionguild.org/label-resource/burberrys/

Aloha from Hawaii (really!) That's a fun mu'u mu'u, Emma! I remember Waltah Clarke stores - although I never shopped there. Here's a bit more information from the VFG Label Resource: https://vintagefashionguild.org/label-resource/clarke-waltah/

At the top of the page you can click on: "Sign the Guestbook" and ask your question. I am not sure how frequently she checks, and don't think you can post a photo. Back in the day when we were both very active on the JC (Jewelcollect) forum, etc. she did answer questions. If you click...

Very possibly Haskell (as you know. ) I checked Cathy Gordon's unsigned Haskell Imageevent: https://imageevent.com/bluboi/haskellunsignedpieces # 157 is similar to your piece. You could ask Cathy. (She is the co-author of the Haskell book.)

Thank you so much for this information and the lovely illustration!

I wasn't able to find out anything about the mark 274. I just edited this because I remembered what GES stands for : The term Ges. Gesch is an abbreviation for "Gesetzlich Geschutzt" and is the German equivalent of a trademark, copyright or patent, as seen in the United States. The...

Excellent. Thank you Karin.

I'm not an expert on dating men's clothing or anything that old. either, but my take on it is that it is late 18C. (1780's or so) and that the photo is meant to be set in Germany or part of the German Empire at the time - or in a German speaking country (because the writing on the board in the...

That is so "cool!" :)

I do not believe they are shoe clips. I think Maggie is correct - that they are meant to be sewn onto (and then removed for cleaning) heavy weight fabric clothing as decoration. My memory has just been jogged - Eisenberg used to sew these on to their garments but often they were cut off by...

This isn't it but it's the closest I could find doing a search. Obviously it's not the same pattern. This is a Kravet fabric available from Decorator's Best. Sorry, I don't recognize the one on the chair.

Welcome, Katie - Thank you for posting! We have a little bit about Thea Porter in the LR - but not the label on your dress. If you haven't read about her, here's what we have: https://vintagefashionguild.org/label-resource/porter-thea/ If you would like to submit the label to the Label...

It's fabulous. I have never seen anything like it before, either - not that I have that much experience with W&D bags. What does it say? The purse may have been been "custom" or the seal added. The seal looks something like the Seal of the United States - to me. Can you take a closer...

Thank you for sharing this. I am very impressed and would love to see it finished - and you modeling it!

Great article, Barbara. I had the pleasure of meeting Ruth Kampke at the 2009 Convention in Providence. I own this brooch, which is one of her designs.

It's lovely!

That is lovely. The sheer fabric looks like voile to me, and I the think the brocade parts are brocade ribbons that have been sew or woven woven into the voile. I could be completely wrong - but that is what it looks like to me. Let's hear what others think. Please show the whole dress...

I could not find the ingredients on the container of OxiClean however from the Internet: The OxiClean™ formulation is a combination of ingredients, the key ingredient being sodium percarbonate, sodium carbonate, surfactants and polymer. Combined, these ingredients work together to remove the...

I believe that some late 1940s and even early '50s items from Germany were labelled with existing labels - and just say Germany. I have some costume jewelry marked Germany that is post-WWII.

Gorgeous. WOW!!!! I agree with 1920s.
