Yes, the coat also has a Vogue label. I have searched through patterns for hours and hours but couldn't find it. It looks like Jody is much better at it then me :) but I am continuing to look.

Wow! Thank you so much Jody. This is definitely it. How did you go about finding it? I did find some similar Mme Gres patterns but not this one. It also seems like the way the band was tied is not how it was intended. Should I try to fix it? Also how do you typically describe in a listing such...

Thank you Ruth. I had actually spent hours and hours looking through photos using Google. Just can't find the pattern. I tried searching with key words like cape jacket, bolero, fitted dress, dress with bow sash, three piece and everything in between. The cape is not really a true cape as it has...

Thank you! That's Lilly. 7.5 lbs diva

Thank you Midge. I am having trouble finding it among so many patterns but I guess I'll just go one by one. The searches don't seem to work very well as I keep trying to find three piece patterns but it returns all Vogue Paris original patterns regardless.

I just got a 3-piece Vogue Paris Original dress, bolero and cape in a black ribbed fabric almost like faille, that otherwise has brocade type flowers. I found the label in the label resource and it's the one with the Eiffel Tower from the early 1960s. The resource also states that with a little...

Thank you, Jonathan! I always learn so much from you Victoria

Can someone help me date this picture based on the clothing of the woman. I thought it was 30s https://www.facebook.com/old.photographs.restored.m.lucas/posts/906486186068114:0 Thank you Victoria

Very interesting! Thank you

Hi Nicole, Thank you for your response. Yes, unfortunately no labels left. It looks like there was a small tag (maybe size) at the neck which was cut off. It feels like polyester. I thought it may be a peignoir but it looked too fancy with the marabou. Maybe it was a 70s thing. Victoria

Hi all, I need help with this coat/ robe/ dress garment. I am pretty sure it's from the 70s but I am not sure how it was worn or what to call it. Was it something worn on top of a dress or as a robe? It has a single hook and eye closure at bust level but is otherwise open in the front. Thank...

Thank you Joules and Ruth. Any thoughts on the fabric? Victoria

Hi all, Looking for help dating this dress. There are no labels with the exception of the paper tag. Metal zipper stamped Murlen. I thought 80s but the internal construction and the fabric of the lining are making me think it may be older. Are sheer accordion pleated butterfly sleeves specific...

Thank you Nicole. I really don't think the dress is modern (even the smell is of something that has been put away for many decades ) but of course I may be wrong. Here are some pictures of the inside.

Hi all, Looking for help dating this dress and also with the fabric. I know this is moire but is it rayon, cotton or something else? There are no tags and it looks home made to me. The lace collar is really throwing me off but I thought it may be late 60s. I don't think the belt is original to...

Thank you both. I thought that such an element would definitely have its own name :) Reminded me of something Greek. Victoria

Hi all, What do you call the white sash/ veil looking fabric that lines the back of this dress. It runs from the front on the shoulders and lines the back. Thank you Victoria

Thank you, Melanie. Very helpful! What signs should I look for of it being altered?

Hi all, I believe this dress is from the 80s (please correct me if I am wrong). I am wondering how you wear it? Do you put a shirt underneath? Or a blouse? It appears way too open to be worn on its own. I was told it is called apron style. Is this true? Thank you Victoria

Thank you all.

Thank you, Nicole. Here are a couple photos of the label and I also noticed a small number printed into the fabric on the collar which I think says 715 (pic#3). No other labels of any kind. I have inspected every inch of the inside. How would you describe the splashes around the flowers?

Hi, I was hoping to get some help dating this floral men's shirt. The label is completely faded so no clues there except that it (the label) is made of a cottony fabric. This print is so familiar but I can't place it. Any help with dating or the print is greatly appreciated. Thank you. Victoria

Thank you, Nicole!

Hi, Is there a name for the fabric attached at the waist of this dress? Thank you, Victoria

That's so neat. Thank you so much.

Hi, I have a Trimingham's Bermuda bag that I think is from the 60s but would like a second opinion. Also, there are many Trimingham's bags out there but what do you make of the second label? I could not find a single thing about Margery Jean Friberg. Could this be the name of the person who it...

Mary, I am sure you are correct. I found both longer robes and shorter nightgowns of the exact same kind on etsy. One is NWT and has one of those punch card store tags with the holes that are computer readable. Does anyone know when these tags were introduced commercially? Victoria

Thank you Nicole. I will check for alterations but I am not very good at detecting them. What kind of alterations do you think were done to the armholes and do you think it was shortened? No sign of other labels. I checked all the seams.

I think this Mr. Mort dress is from the 60s, the label also seems to point to a 60s dress but I am still not exactly sure. This baby-doll style doesn't strike me as something from the era. Also, does this type of tiny bow lace have a special name? Thank you, Victoria

Here are some pics.
