If you are looking to date your garments, we will need to see photos of the pieces.

Yes.

The word rare is thrown around a lot. Gunne Sax produced copious amounts of these dresses; so unless it was a one off (and can be proven) or it was worn by a well known person, I would not pay much attention to the word. We do not do assessments here. Researching ask prices (and that does not...

Does it say baby alligator? I’m no expert but I was under the impression the small dots are remnants of a crocodile’s hair follicle. This characteristic distinguishes a crocodile from an alligator. Hopefully someone will be along to help with date. I’m leaning towards 50s, but not certain.

I’m not sure about the clasp, but I do think the skin with those dots is crocodile. What is the lining? Any markings or labels?

The label is from the Canadian branch of the ILGWU. It was in use from 1956 to 1968. Your cute sheath dress is early 60s. I look forward to what others think.

Hello and welcome. I’m sure someone will be along to offer their thoughts. I deleted the other thread for you.

We do not authentic here.

Looks like an Indian made gauze dress with metallic thread.

Perhaps someone here can direct you to a sight for collectibles. We’re happy to help if you have questions about Vintage fashion and textiles though.

If you can take a photo of the side as well as a photo of the bottom soles that will be helpful.

A 1968 girls Simplicity pattern #8072 shows a similar double breasted cape and also a dress that appears would be slightly shorter than the cape. As a young girl - circa 64 to 66 (so long ago now!) - I had a coat with a matching dress and cap in plaid but in blues and greens.

Cute. I see mid 60s. Looking forward to what others think.

I think it may be nutria. I’m sure our fur expert will drop in to offer help.

So charming. We do not give valuations here. Researching ask and sold prices on Etsy, Ruby Lane, eBay etc. will give you a general idea.

I think earlier 50s, Lauren. Do you know if it was taken up? Look forward to what others say. I’ve never seen that Eaton’s label before.

Great find. The symbol looks more like the one for Italian lira. 5000 lira was about $8.00 USD back in the day. If it was, as suggested, 50.00 British pounds that would have been the equivalent of $140.00 USD back then - unlikely for a change purse, I think.

Pleasure :) I’d wait for the fur expert to confirm, however ;-) Not unusual to have two different furs.

Looks like mink for the body and a fox fur collar.

I don’t think it’s the Gucci we know and I also think your tie may be older. The CA # registry was revamped in 1997 and anything that predates 1997 shows as 1997. I’ve seen that label on my rounds and I think I may even have a few but I am really doubtful they are the high end Gucci. You...

Awful what they endured.

Trust you’re able to keep the water away!

Cute mid to late 60s mini dress. Look forward to what others think.

Great set. I think you are correct with 5os. Looks like beach or casual wear. Women were not allowed to wear pants to work in those days. Look forward to what others think.

Beautiful piece. I look forward to hearing from the experts. The second line of the label looks like Robes et Manteaux which is French for dresses and coats. The name might be Hopson. The address looks English: 17 East 16th Street

I’m seeing 70s on this Lauren. With no apostrophe on Simpsons it wouldn’t be earlier.

If you are able to post a photo of the garment we’ll be able to help date.

I’ve had that label in the past. I see 70s.
