MJ, I have put in a request for a Josephine Baker lookalike for my hats and jewelry! I LOVED that mannequin.....just so fabulous! And, Laura, I enjoyed the vintage photos of the displays so much. Glad you enjoyed this article as much as I did!

This article may be a bit long for some, especially those who don't have much interest in mannequins. But, if you have been fascinated with them, as I have been since the days I sat patiently waiting for my Mother to try on clothes in local dress shops....you will enjoy this article. I remember...

I've seen this material on '60's clothing and wondered if the material for the lacy looking material is not a synthetic material. The ones I've seen were not cotton. The color makes me think of the 1960's, too.....that bright sunshine yellow unlerlayer......like Mellow Yellow!

I was thinking from the photos and what you said about being "stored in a closet for a long time"(improperly, perhaps), that the silk of this lovely dress may have been compromised. When the silk is so fragile that it deteriorates with normal handling, it is, as Ruth suggested, a lovely display...

It's a lovely style bag and the handle makes me think 1960's.

Without something in writing(authentic documentation) about the provenance, it surely would be difficult for anyone to say what paths this coat has traveled. One can only surmise! Ideally, it would be nice if you could go back to the dealer you purchased the coat from and ask for him to provide...

I did it and now I just have to wait until I win....right!!!!

The catch on the cuff makes me wonder if maybe it is from the 1940's....at first glance I was thinking '50's as Linn said. The Mexican bracelet seems to be 1950's to me, also.

On the choker....I have had some pieces similar that were marked Germany and they look so much like sterling, but were actually heavily silver plated brass! I have one pendant that bears the Coro stamp, but also, is stamped Germany and it is definitely plated......I have louped it and could...

I am wondering if this piece came off of a 1950's charm bracelet???? They used to use a lot of charms with this type of ancient motif and I wouldn't term the pearl to be a "seed" pearl.....those would be a bit smaller and usually set differently(not in prongs). The metal could be brass, but...

So pretty....I love the robes from the 1950's and the color is lovely! Nice buttons, too!

Would love for you to come!

1940's Summer Wedding

I think MJ is right....I've seen lounging gowns made from this type of material, too! And, as she said, buttons on the side. It's very attractive!

Barbara, I do live in Virginia near the Historic Triangle, as it is referred to....Yorktown, Jamestown and Williamsburg. I actually work in Williamsburg at the Williamsburg Antique Mall on Fridays and it's about a 35 minute drive from where I live. I met Janea Whitacre, Mistress Milliner...

Colonial Williamsburg is sponsoring a fabulous event for anyone who is interested in Millinery or just plain loves HATS! This event in being held in conjunction with the 60th Birthday of the Margaret Hunter Millinery Shop and will run from March 16th through March 19, 2014 and if you have the...

I believe this is a brooch from the 1928 line of jewelry. This company is inspired by vintage designs and makes some pretty pieces. Definitely not what I would call a true vintage piece of jewelry.....not for a few years yet!

MJ, you took the words right out of my mouth.....Frank Gorshin in that wild plaid suit and the "matching" tie, too! Oh my gosh!

Wow! What a fabulous dress....and, I love Emma, too!

I remember this style from the 1960's.
