What's strange is that there are no holes to attach this hardware in the same way the front clasp has been sewn on.

Regarding photos for online, lighting really is important. But if you don't have lights have you tried taking photos outside? If you have somewhere you can do that. An overcast day with light cloud cover is perfect, so you get soft diffused light.

I've never run a physical store, so can't advise on that, but just want to say I think your shop looks great. I live in a town with dozens of vintage shops, and yours doesn't look cluttered to me.

They're very cool!

Hmm I did a bit of research, and apparently that Coat of Arms is called the 'Golf King' coat of arms. If you look carefully you'll see it features two crossed golf clubs, two golf balls, and a man who apparently a caddie, as well as the crown and thistle/weeds. You can buy it on buttons...

No probs, I know our forums can be confusing at first. Looking forward to you finding your way around and please ask if you need help.

I think it has a dolman sleeve (no shoulder seam) - is that right? I could put it in the late 50s, or the early 60s. I don't think it's 40s. Gorgeous, very wearable.

Hi Janice! I think this is the same bag we talked about here - best to continue in that thread if you have more questions: https://forums.vintagefashionguild.org/threads/mesh-bag.79855/

Interesting coat. What information are you looking for?

don't worry about that, we love people asking questions.

I think it's much newer than 60s. 80s or 90s, someone will probably know more precisely. That off centre split at front is ringing bells, but I can't remember when that was "a thing"

I will convo you.

Purple is a fixed colour, for now. At some point we hope to change our forum template and that may change. However links are usually a different colour to regular text, as that's what makes clear they are links. If you have any trouble setting up your signature, you can start a thread in our...

Oh I don't think there's anyone here who wouldn't be happy with what you've done! We have many animal lovers here. I first heard of Coats For Cubs on this forum. Do feel free to ask about your other vintage items, we'll be glad to help I'm sure.

You are the best! Furs often don't fetch as much as people hope, these days, so I think this is wonderful solution.

Hello! I've embedded your images into the post, as you are likely to get more responses that way. For instructions on how to do this yourself, see: https://forums.vintagefashionguild.org/threads/faq-how-to-post-a-photo.52756/

I think Bianca means the more modern version that is designed to hold clothes on modern hangers, especially while displayed in the shop, usually one at each shoulder, or each side of a skirt, etc. These days they are usually made of very narrow ribbon, though I have seen ones made of the same...

My guess would be early 70s. I think that kind of care label did start appearing in the late 60s, but was far more common in the 70s.

Welcome Vanda! Where are you in the UK? I'm in Brighton.

Please read forum rules, we can't help with valuation or authentication

That makes so much sense

Cross posted with Victoria :)

We can't help with valuation (see forum rules) It's a great dress and is from the 70s. I love the sheer sleeves. I believe Ossie Clark for Radley is not quite so desirable as plain Ossie Clark, but they still do well (or they did, I haven't looked in the last couple of years). One way to...

A version of this is also shown in the Victoriana article above, which states: Motif Development The earliest design on Kashmir seventeenth and eighteenth century shawls was a single flowering plant complete with roots, inspired by English herbals (books with plant illustrations) which reached...

@amandainvermont do you mind if we change your thread title?

Have to admit I don't really know how tags relate to search :BAGUSE: Sounds good in theory as you say :USETHUMBUP:

We could at least change the thread title, so it will be more obvious in search.

Okay I think I've answered my own question. Here's a couple of images from: http://www.victoriana.com/Shawls/paisley-shawl.html It looks like folded into a square, and then one corner folded back diagonally to cover the shoulders. The article states: Square shawls were folded in triangles...

I'd love to see how they were worn. I'm still wondering how the 10-12 feet part works out, even around a massive skirt. I've seen a few that appear to be square, and then folded diagonally forming a triangle shawl, with the black centre being at the back of the neck, . That makes sense to me...
