Thanks Claire.....it is not flat it has a slightly fuzzy feeling layer on top of the base weave....not sure if these photos help but i've tried to accentuate the weave.
Sorry just bumping this for a last chance confirmation.......so is it safe to say this IS NOT Hattie Carnegie? Should I remove the label? And whatever it is am I right in 1950s?
Just what I was thinking Karin, but because they seem so 'durable' hardwearing and have shammy pocket linings etc, I wondered about the fashion item question. I did find this on the wikipedia page and am wondering if these might have been 'work-out shorts'
"One attempt at modernizing lederhosen...
Hi Everyone. These are quite short and I haven't photo'd them with the cuffs turned. Any way to date such a traditional thing?
Thanks for any help.

The font of the label looks similar to one in the label resource for a 50s dress. The thing about the zipper front is that there is a little hook and eye up there (which looks old and original) which seems weird.
Hi All, this dress has had something removed, a lining? an underlayer?
1.Am I right in 50s or is this later?
2. Also, it feels like a cottony silky organza fabric with a burn out pattern....not sure what it is?
3. Also, the label looks like it may have been resewn on when the inner lining was...
Yep, and I can't remove it without taking out that whole seam and I am not SewingMachingGirl!! Far from it. I'm going to trim it as evenly as possible. It's actually a bit sharp on the edge.
Hi Everyone,
I'm assuming this is 1950s but am a bit confused about the lining. In has been roughly cut out but the remaining inch feels like plastic....were crinoline layers ever made from plastic?
Thanks,
Lauren
Thanks Denise, How did you locate the phone book entry? One great thing about the overalls is that they have side zippers so really easy to get on but have some nice fitted lines!
Hi Everyone,
Does a shirtdress necessarily have buttons all down the front? WOuld this be a day dress? This one is an 80s I think but I'm not sure if it's 70s? I should add, the sleeve's had an elasticized cuff that gave out.
Thanks for any help,
Lauren
I'm thinking 80s but that swoopy graphic seems to have been his 90s thing? But it looks closer to the 80s labels in the resource.
Not exactly sure.
Any thoughts?
Thanks very much for any help!

Hi Everyone,
The writing on the tag on the inside pocket is completely worn of it's words. Any sense of when this might be from? I'm assuming the A is for Airborne but can't seem to find this particular patch referenced anywhere.
Thanks for any help
Lauren
Hi Everyone, Hope you're Sunday is going well.
I think this is 60s but wondering if it's earlier, or what area of 60s?
Also, is this technically a cloche?
Thanks for any help

Hello Everyone,
Thought this was a 50s or 60s mens coat but the front closes the right over left way....who cares really?
Wondering if I'm in the right dating range as well.
Thanks for any help,
Lauren
