Thanks everyone! Wish it fit me :(

Happy Canada to my fellow Canuckians! Gonna try and catch an outdoor concert at the Jazz Fest tonight. Busy time here in Montreal, festivals galore and our traditional July 1st moving day - moving trucks EVERYWHERE!

Gotta love the hanging ornaments with little chickies... Is this late 40s or 50s? It has a metal side zipper and cap sleeves and most likely would have had a self-covered belt. Thanks!

Size 9 - 40s shoes :dreaming:

:hysterical: :clapping: That made my morning!

That's a great idea - and check your u2u top right hand corner!

Just wondering if the belt buckle would go in the front?

:wow22: Love the print and the style! Lucky you! I think it was Linda that had similar a similar print.

Yes, great hat! And such a pretty dress! Your website looks fabulous, Anne! You've been busy. I didn't realize it was you this last while - people change avatars and I get confused - lol.

Mary Jane you looked stunning in that Edwardian gown! Edwardian guimpe at SA:

:wow22: Here's a 60s ski suit. Early? All metal zips, reversible jacket, knitted cuffs, stirrup pants do up at the side. Both sides of the jacket have a pocket zippered arm, do you know what that was used for? And the collar has a zippered compartment with a nylon hood - is that a good...

Fascinating!!! You have put so much thought work into this and I am so grateful - learning tons! Thank you!!! Here's a picture of 2/3rds of a golf suit. Much different than the 1964 ad for clothes, but I think this one is from the early 60s too. The matching top is sleeveless with buttons...

My comment is - VERY cool dress! I think you're in the right period - perhaps late 60s early 70s, but I'd wait for confirmation. Usually with "boutique" on the label it is ready to wear (rtw).

Thanks so much Lizzie - this workshop is great! I hated those one piece bloomers for gym (and every other girl did too!). Unflattering. A few of us wore shorts one day and we were all suspended. We were being used as examples to try and stop the trend. My father thought the punishment did...

Thanks, Lizzie!

Fabulous, Lizzie! This is so interesting. I'm wondering when and why a play suit was developed - they often look like swim suits; so why not have a swim suit you could also play in?

Loved him! Baby Maybe and the one on Shit were two of my favs. I remember the show, Marge - takes me waaaay back.

:hiya: Paul you look terrific in that suit - very becoming!

Lookin' mighty fine, Linda! I heart the B&W too!

All of it jaw dropping!

Great detective work, Ookoo - thank you!!!

I guess I needed company in going mad :D Thanks for trying ladies! A few years back after weeks of buying and low on $ I passed on an Adrian jacket for $9.99 because I couldn't read the name and didn't recognize the label :BAGUSE: Even though this may not be any big name, it's a...

It's Jean Philippe something or other. Can you make out the last name? Thanks!

Watching Marie - it's such a great bag!

Speaking of butter, Quebec is the only place in the world where it is illegal (yes, illegal) to sell coloured margarine to look like butter. I have to go to the dentist and will read more carefully and weigh in again later, but I think eBay was warned of sellers selling fakes in this instance...

Fabulous interview, Lizzie and how generous of Mr. Coleman to share the history and pictures too!!!

English dandy label, sold in the US with a very French print in the fleur de lis pattern - it's so appropriate for the global market! Satin brocade and the trim is done if faille, I think.

:hiya: Not much info with a quick google, except one of his 50s girls dresses was (or is) featured in a museum: www.powerhousemuseum.com Yes, please do post pictures!
