Making a completely data-free guess, I wonder if they could be shooting competition targets/souvenirs?

Regarding the itchy cashmere scarf, my understanding from several sources over the years is that hand washing, followed by use of a high quality hair conditioner, will help a lot. I've also seen recommendations for a white vinegar soak prior to the washing. I don't have personal experience with...

I love the collar on that one, MS! This Emmanuelle Khanh on my website has no collar at all.

I just listed these faboo 40s platforms on Etsy Listed earlier this week, cute 60s two tone suede and leather pumps with unusual detailing And a 90s retro 50s "bowling shirt", extra large

The short answer is: It depends.:BAGUSE: As a new member, you may not have done much browsing of the VFG website - there are treasure troves of information about all sorts of topics, from labels, to fabric types, to book and reference recommendations, and so on. One of the public forums is...

I love a good novelty print: 40s/50s cap sleeve blouse

Velvet, beading, and silver lame? bow down wave I bet your grandmother looked gorgeous! Keep in mind as you look around online at 20s wedding dress prices that condition is crucial - the dress has to be wearable, and most modern brides are fairly intolerant of flaws we might consider minor in a...

I was in Palm Springs last year for a warm weather break during part of Modernism week. We did the Show and Sale at the convention center - the vendors had some amazing things, mostly furniture and home décor, and most too rich for our blood. There was quite a bit of jewelry (including some...

Technically speaking, I don't think I would call those sequins. Sequins are sewn on in some fashion or other, and those are bonded to the fabric. I have seen that kind of fabric referred to as "dot confetti". I think of it as a fairly modern invention although I might be wrong about that - maybe...

70s/80s rose-print sundress 70s jersey dress with ruched bodice and rhinestone accents by Young Edwardian for Arpeja - I love this color, often called ashes of roses And a 70s swing jacket in red Ultrasuede

On Etsy, a 60s Mexican Boho patchwork embroidered caftan/robe And an 80s purple suede jacket with faux reptile embellishments

Pink celluloid

Pretty. I can't see a lot of construction details, but it looks like the seams are serged. . If this were 30s or early 40s, I would expect flat felled or French seams. I would also expect a bit more shape to the body and detailing at the shoulders. Shoulder pads are pretty subtle for full-on...

Looks like it could be earlier. Can we see the label and interior of the hat?

There's something theatrical about the black trim, as if it's intended to add visual impact/drama to a dress that is complete without it. I agree with you Barbara about the heaviness being off kilter for the ethereal quality of the dress.

Oh dear, another disappearing post from Linda123! She had commented that she had "stacks" of barkcloth with a rough weave in comparison to this fabric's smooth looking weave.

Linda, you are correct that purely speaking, "barkcloth" has a textured weave - see the VFG fabric resource for a closeup. Cedarandpine's fabric is probably canvas/duck, which was also commonly used at the time for these kinds of prints - the canvas can be a little stiffer in my experience. Over...

The 1970s was a great era for romantic medieval/Renaissance inspired Boho looks. These should all be clickable links.

IIRC, Oxiclean can eat through silk

I love the cool summery colors of this cropped jacket in my Etsy store At magsrags.net, a new old stock top and skirt from Teena Paige - the two pieces are masterfully cut and offer a lot of mix and match options And what's not to love about this cozy beacon style robe with its art deco...

I'd love to go see this if it came to my part of the world, even though I was never deep into Barbie http://tomandlorenzo.com/2016/03/barbie-doll-exhibition-at-the-musee-des-arts-decoratifs/

It's been awhile since I played.... On Etsy, an 80s biker style leather jacket At magsrags.net, size 9 red stilettos Fitted Jantzen cardigan sweater 60s "carwash" midriff top

Barbara, I just wandered through your incredible stock for about 20". Wow. So many gorgeous pieces!! :drooling22: I am seriously contemplating that strong US dollar as rationale for treating myself. I did want to ask - I didn't see a search function - is there a way to look for a particular...

I have a women's jacket made from Palm Beach cloth listed on the website It was originally sold at Bullocks, so high end for sure. The fabric has a very nice dry hand.
