Thanks so much, I really had no idea with this one!

Thanks for your prompt reply. I think you're right about the princess seams... it's just that the front neckline seems so high when it's on that way round. Yes, there are shoulder pads. Here's a photo of one.

I've been on a hiatus for a year or two but have decided that it's time to do something with some of my stock. (Please excuse me if I've asked about this dress before, my memory is like a sieve these days!) This dress is a bit of a mystery to me... which way is front and which way is back? The...

Styles for equestrian jackets seem to have changed little over the years. Anyone willing to take a guess at the age of this hacking jacket? A search of the label brings up nothing helpful. The fabric is a lightweight cotton plaid, it is partially lined in an olive satin. Machine and...

Sorry, I can't be of any real help since I know so little about Chanel (I only ever had two pieces pass through my hands) but, strangely, a search on the RN number database comes back as Diane von Furstenberg. And the CA number comes back as Janet Lee de Montreal, a company in Quebec, Canada...

What a coincidence! I passed up a 60s gown with this label today. Condition was poor.

Thanks for the suggestion, Marie. There has to be a connection... it is just TOO similar.

I came across what appears to be a 50s black wiggle dress, very simply styled. But I cannot find anything about this label. Has anyone here ever heard of it? Thanks, I so appreciate the availability of such a great resource as this website and its inhabitants!

Thanks, Melanie, I've edited the post to add a photo of it belted. Of course, belting it also shortens it somewhat. The length is now above the ankles.

Thank you for your replies, as always I'm so glad that I consulted with you here, I believe you've all hit the nail on the head. Here are a couple more photos: one of the zipper/button/buttonhole, and one of a shoulder pad. AND I've now noticed that there are thread belt loops. It looks so much...

This dress seems to be a sister dress to the one that Villa posted about earlier. It has an unusual faux bustle look on the back. The label is similar to one that the Label Resource states is 50s but this dress definitely seems earlier. It buttons down the back to the waistline. At the waistline...

Thank you very much, Nicole! Yes, there is quite a bit of damage to the silk, it's like it just wasn't strong enough to last through the years. Thes tearing is located mostly over the shoulders and there is also some tears on the side of the skirt where the zipper is. With the folds in both...

Hello! I posted here a few times some while ago and found such helpful people and info. I'm hoping for opinions on this garment. Unfortunately, no tags of any kind can be found on this beautiful dress. And also unfortunately, the see-through silk (any idea what the fabric is called?) is torn in...
