Thanks for the additional pics and info! Super-cute set!

How interesting! Odd that the existing labels in our Label Resource all have a consistent font. Yours is quite a bit different. I'd love to see the type and placement of the closures for both pieces.

@Avantbo Thanks for posting the larger Woollands image - perfecto! What I meant by linear was a "just the facts, ma'am" approach, without editorializing. We certainly love all manner of personal comments on the forums, but that approach doesn't quite fit the format of the Label Resource. I'm...

@Avantbo This is wonderful research. Thank you so much! I'll do my best to pull it together into linear bios for the Label Resource, unless you'd rather I leave that to you. I think the LeRose label is fine, but we will need a larger close-up image of the Woolands label (scroll up to view the...

Hello, @hayley marks! What a cool and incredible surprise to hear this! Would love to hear more about your great grandfather and his designs. And yes, I do still have this coat in my personal collection.

We have a good many Gunne Sax labels in our Label Resource, but not yours. A trademark search indicates that the Gunne Sax name was in use by Jessica McClintock Inc. until at least 2014. Based on the font style, my guess is your dress is a newer garment.

Wow. Thank you, Claire. Fascinating to see the politics behind the curtain!

That was sooo interesting, Claire!

Oh, Tove! This jacket is magnificent! What is the fabric? Can we see a full length shot and close-ups of the fabric, lining and embroidery? All would help with dating. (By the way, your shop is beautiful, too!)

Other useful info for dating a garment is the placement and type of closure, and how the seams and hem are finished.

What a charming dress! It would be nice to see the full dress for sweep and length, but I'm feeling a late 1950s-early '60s transitional style. I'd call the fabric jacquard. This Canadian Adrian label is unfamiliar to me.

No worries, @Ciara Schmalfeld - take your time, and thank you! Your grandma sounds like a woman of great taste! BTW, I sent you a private message.

Hi @Ciara Schmalfeld, Thanks for submitting these wonderful labels and showing the garments they're from. Is that you in the Bob Mackie? Fabulous! Unfortunately, these will be too small when cropped down to close-up size to meet the Label Resource formatting requirement. Here is an example of...

@Bella84 So lovely! We'd love to add this label to our Label Resource. How to submit is here.
