    Yummy Aqua Chiffon 50s Party Dress

    Holy cow! I'm going to have to fix my pictures if this dress is looking periwinkle. It's actually a true aqua or seafoam color. I don't want to mislead people if the color doesn't look like whats in my descripton. My camera never takes blue and green tones accurately for some reason...

    The next comeback trend will be....

    I remember Danskins used to make bodysuits like that and sell matching wrap skirts to go with them. It was always a challenge to resnap them before leaving the ladies room. Theresa

    Need a date and keyword help for these shoes

    Hi Paula I'm voting for 60's on both pairs. The silver glittery ones are too fab. What size are they? I don't sell many shoes, but I think a lot of people use "kitten heels" for a search term. Theresa Blue Velvet Vintage

    Another 2pc knit outfit-40s or 50s?

    This one was a nightmare to photograph! Just not having any luck with pictures today. I'm wondering if anyone can tell me if this is 40s or 50s? Feels similar to those St John santana knits, but with metallic threads. Haven't a clue what kind of yarn this is. Definitely not wool...

    How to describe fabric on this 2pc set

    Jonathan, that's a good point. I never thought about the possibility of it being Mexican made. I guess because of it being wool and I've only ever seen the tourist stuff from there. The size tag says 44. I'm guessing it's around a 6 or 8. It's got all this tiny pearl beading on it too...

    I need some help with this....

    Hi Gail That's a very pretty dress. Love those bright colors against the black background. Kind of exotic, almost Asian look to it. Are the flowers mums? Also, is that sort of a border print down the front or a separate section of fabric? Either way, it's a great print. Theresa Blue...

    Advice on Rive Gauche Skirt

    First of all I'm guessing this is a 70s skirt. Was wondering what opinions are on whether this is worth putting up for sale right now. Does it fit with the hippie look they're showing for spring/summer? Thanks Theresa Blue Velvet Vintage

    Expert fabric ID help needed on dress

    Great tips Anne! Burned a couple more pieces and the smell reminded me of grilled burgers. But I've been sick for over two weeks and my sense of smell could be off! The black ash definitely crushes up easily. So I'm going with silk. Thanks Theresa Blue Velvet Vintage
