    I know Levis has put out some repros and that's what these look like to me with the big E tag. But even the right repros do well. Good luck with them!

    Help dating firework print dress

    And how does it close? Metal zipper? Nylon zipper? Where is the zipper located? I'm seeing 40s but I'm also seeing 70s. Either way the print is wonderful.

    Insights on early 50s (?) dress?

    Gosh that is so perfect on you! With that fitted waist and full skirt, I'm seeing early to mid-50s. And yes, there was probably a rhinestone button on each hip. And yes, the curse of iron shine!

    1940s menswear suit re-worked as a womens’ suit?

    Hi! I've had a couple of these before, so I think it was somewhat common. I love the look of your suit and how it retains the elements of a men's suit - especially those lapels!

    removing febreze / smoke from non washable garments

    Oof - sorry about that residual odor! I've never noticed it or had any complaints about it. Maybe because I spray it when the item is in sunlight? In any case, good luck! Please post if you find something that works.
