This dress in my Personal Collection has a tag that reads, "Mari for I. Magnin". I have seen the identical dress with a Suzy Perette label. Arnold Constable Jacket

The line was launched in 1989 so it could be earlier than 2000's. It probably had a matching or plain long skirt, originally. https://vintagefashionguild.org/resources/labels/?_search_resources=Carmen%20Marc%20Valvo#resource_items I bought a Carmen Marc Valvo dress in 2001 at Neiman Marcus...

The fabric was definitely made for interior design use. F. Schumacher, the parent company of Waverly is still in business. (Their name is also on the label attached to the role of your fabric.) The name of the design is probably Suffolk. There's a style number on the tag (I can't read it)...

I have sold a lot of signed jewelry and have many signed pieces in my personal collection. I thought I would share a very special signed Ming's set. My uncle bought this set for my grandmother when he was stationed in Hawaii during WWII. He gave them to me a few years after she passed away...

I am an interior designer. The print on the fabric looks pretty classic to me, but the colors look like early '70s colors. However, it could be from any era. The fabric looks like a cotton print to me. Traditionally - fabric meant to be used for clothing was generally 44" wide. Fabric...

I don't have anything to add on the signature. The sketches strike me as the work of a fashion design or fashion illustration student.

I store all my vintage costume jewelry out of the air in either a dresser, or a cabinet on trays, or in a bin or in drawers in plastic carts. The pieces are either on trays or in compartmented boxes - and some are in plastic "drawers." I live near the ocean and there is a lot of salt spray...
