    I have loved this textured textile ever since first encountering it on some of my favorite 1950s dresses, but I had no idea that it had a name! Thanks, Maggie!

    What to do about pale-backed clothes moths (Monopis crocicapitella)?

    I use pheromone traps from this company to monitor my storage for clothing pests. I don't see your moth in their list, but it might be worth contacting them, to see if they have any advice? https://www.insectslimited.com/museum

    Thierry Mugler suit with sloppy details

    Could the hardware have been removed for dry cleaning, and then sewn back on poorly, by the cleaner? Just a thought…

    Questions about this textile - antique Victorian 'kirking" Paisley shawl

    Double checking 40's on this Sally Victor hat

    I have seen that many times on the inner band of vintage hats. I always assumed that it was used to mark the front of the hat, in case one wasn't sure which way to wear it. :)

    Clearing our Grandmother's vintage/antique hoard!

    Looks like a dress clip, circa 1930s. Some of the necklaces look “older” to me, maybe 1950s-60s? The multi strand black beads: what does the other side of the clasp look like? Glass beads, or plastic? If they are glass, that’s a nice one!

    To wash or not to wash

    If that is papery interfacing in the lining then I would definitely dry-clean, not launder.

    My purse? Why thank you! It is made from mushrooms...

    Speaking of plant-based "leather", I've also been eyeing these cactus-leather bags, from maker Everlane (which makes some fairly well-made stuff, at least as modern manufacturers go, IMO). Pretty cool, although still a bit out of my price range...

    Help identifying seal skin/fur

    Yes. The main parts of the jacket and boots looks like seal, but with another, fluffier fur as trim. I love the pictorial trim! Is that made of fur, too? If so, maybe the design was dyed onto it?

    With Scissors, one size fits all

    I have had several of these slips, over the years. The idea was that you can trim along any of the rows of sheer trim on the skirt to shorten it to your preferred length, and it would not need to be hemmed. This does not change the size/fit, of course, just the length. Out of curiosity I tried...
