I've found that a bar of old-fashioned Ivory Soap works great to lubricate a recalcitrant zipper.

What a fun collection! I know that the super-long ones are late Victorian/Edwardian, as Melanie describes. The one I wear with my giant (original) Edwardian hat and big hairdo beneath is 9" long. Quite the weapon, if needed! I also wear it with my Civil-War era bonnets (and admit I'm not sure if...

Hi - I'm looking to buy a reasonably authentic repro 18th century (Colonial/Georgian) corset. If you have one for sale, or make (or know someone who makes) these stays, please contact me privately (no links on thread, please, per VFG rules). Not looking to spend a fortune, so less expensive...

Hold up! That's not a North American care label, it's a European (Ginitex) label. See that it says "Baumwolle?" (German for cotton). They've been around much longer. Where's the thread about European labels? You know I'm hopeless on this forum. FYI, I think it's early 80s, a la the whole Gunne...

Looks very 80s to me, although not in the "huge, over-the-top, shoulder padded" sort of way.

All about being an extra for the past year ... http://betterdressesvintage.com/blogs/from-my-closet/34317700-making-movies-my-first-year-as-an-extra I love comments. Thanks in advance for leaving them on the blog : ).

How funny Carrie, I had the same bizarre thought! ; )

Incredible. Thanks, Lynne and to your DIL, too! Will share : ).

Love it. And I have photography envy, bigtime! : ) xo

Love. Can I borrow the image??? Laura? Amanda?

Good for you, Barbara, for stopping those crooks!

I know, Carrie, right? And equally incredible that it FITS them all!! It's really quite remarkable.

Definitely going to watch this, Amanda, thank you. Have you seen this one? I saw it Aug. 31, 2014, and it inspired me to avoid buying a single piece of mass-produced modern clothing for a year. So far, I've kept my promise. Of course, I've bought and worn plenty of yummy vintage ; )...

The beautiful and elegant Delaney found what she was looking for : ). We're honored to add her to our Customer Photos page!

Laura, I bought the travel bags from a woman on eBay. She had them on special, so I bought two (one for Kat, one for me, as yet unused). She also sells the pattern to make it yourself. I will email you a link to her shop. : )

Interesting! Thank you.

OMG, I love this stuff. Lacy bum frills! Wish I were 25. Sigh...

The Stately Vintage Dancers had our spring social this Saturday. Come see the slide show (there are a few very brief video links, as well). http://bit.ly/SpringSocial2015_SVD

Gorgeous!

That bow-on-the-shoulder treatment says 60s to me.

Liberty Trouser Co. of Birmingham, Alabama. Label first used in commerce in 1946, and still in business. These little coveralls are a classic style, but they're modern. You can tell from the tag.

That is what I call an understatement!

My friends Kat, Sarah, and I have been at it again, folks. Dressing up in our finery even if we have to invent a reason, and losing costume contests to 20somethings in 80s clothing wherever we roam. Sarah and I hit "Spring Fling on Ponce Vintage Pop-Up Market" last Saturday. Failing to measure...

Friend's heading to Seoul in near future. Just informed her of the museum. Thanks.

that's "Elia's wardrobe" for you non Italian speakers. Right, Ilaria? http://betterdressesvintage.com/blogs/from-my-closet/19175428-a-vintage-tribute-larmadio-di-elia p.s. If you have a moment to spare, please leave a comment on the blog : )!!
