Lovely and looks Edwardian to me!

Good Luck in your research!

I am certainly not knowledgeable about Japanese kimonos and have some of my own to figure out in the very near future, but I wonder if those small round circular designs are family crests. There looks like one center back which is where one is on my personal black Haori(short kimono). I see...

I am attending this week, but am very limited as to photographing.....none allowed during lectures and they are very strict! May be able to sneak a few, though.

I do love gold shoes and all of these are lovely!

Not to be rude, but I don't really chat via conversation, just reply on threads. My coat, as stated, is made from lightweight wool....possibly gabardine. I haven't done a thing with it(measured it) since I purchased it and, in fact, it's currently on my male mannequiin, Chad, waiting for me to...

I have one which I will be listing in the near future, hopefully, that is so similar. Mine is dated on the inside, August 19, 1942. It is a beautiful lightweight wool and even has a zip out lining which is lightweight wool. I am so glad you posted this great photo of James Dean....I had...

I would say late 1950s because I have a number of my Mother's hats which were Betmar with this label.

I'm in Virginia and I still say billfold and always thought of a "purse" as a small little thing to carry coins...like change or coin purse. Pocketbook is more what I grew up hearing. We would say evening bag for the little pretty beaded bags carried for more dressy affairs.

Barbara, that's what I was trying to see....the sleeves. It looked like they were not those balloon sleeves of the 1890s and so I thought may 1880s. I would love to see details, too!

Fascinating....did not know any of this about Pucci! Thanks for sharing.

Could have been for mourning and would have had a matching black skirt. Just guessing....1880s.

Fascinating Find! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you ever so much, Liza....you are a GEM!

A cheat sheet for Union labels would be great. Makes it easy? If so, send one to me, please! I always have to go searching. Would appreciate it muchly!

I agree....1930s.

Lots of info and items made by Evans. I have had many smoking and cigarette related items made by Evans.

Early to mid 1960s....I had some similar style dresses during that time. This one sort of has a faux empire waist with the buttons and tabs creating that effect.

That would certainly account for the label, but I would have thought that a professional seamstress would have stitched the label in the skirt seam as they are most often found. But, of course, I suppose if the label had been found in the waist, that's where she would have returned it! It looks...

In the waistband? That does seem unusual. And, I agree with you Alice. The tag is tacked on and that looks strange, too! But, the dress is pretty...just might not be what it seems! My first thought on age was early 1960s.

Mid to late 1950s.

Love Terriers of any kind! So charming!

Linn, you are exactly right! The thickness of this piece is very curious, indeed. Just looks "not right" for bakelite. And the color is a little off, too!

Nicole, it sure doesn't have the look of Bakelite to me.

Great buttons! 1940s??

I know absolutely nothing about this sort of thing and wish I could help you....but the estate sounds like it must have been a great deal of fun! Hope you got some wonderful treasures!
