I thought this New York Creation dress was 30's looking at similar styles, but reading the label resource, I'm guessing 40's? Is that correct? Also, anyone know what the 15 tag by the zipper is? Thanks!

Mink, bird wing, textured fabric. Inside reads "Noble & Lincoln" with address You can imagine what comes up when you search any combination of Lincoln & hat. Am I correct in thinking Edwardian?

Reluctantly thinning out my hat collection. Of course rethinking this beauty I checked the label resource and tag is 40's. It's just so cool and modern, like a sculpture. It's art! Knit fabric is stretched on a stiff form. Matching hat pin. Thanks for any info!

Second guessing this, 50's or 60's the embroidered patches look 50's I had to cut out the bullet bra, it was leaking powder everywhere. I didn't want to but I had to.

I'm cleaning out an old storage and have no idea about these. They are very well made but have seen use and better days. Metal Talon zippers, hook & eye closeures as well as snaps. Lots of boning. They are below knee to tea length The netting feels kind of metalic but has movement Posting both...

Hi again! I've been off this forum for a long time. I need some help with this Victor Costa, I can't find anything similar online. No size or content tag, inside doesn't look mass produced. Do you think it could be couture? I'm thinking this is a special piece. It's silk (I believe) with nylon...

Hello everyone. I recently got a monkey coat that has dry damage to the upper back. The rest of the coat appears to be in good condition (skins are soft) I'd like to have this altered to either a cropped jacket or a wrap. I looked online and it seems most places that do this are in the...

Picked up this older jacket but don't recognize the symbols on all the buttons. I have seen old fraternal jackets and this one is similar. It has that striped lining in the sleeves you often find in antique pieces, as well as metal decorative threads. Close up of the buttons This pic looks...

Is there an easy way to tell if lace trim is handmade? When did they start machine making lace? I bought a bag of trims and the lace pieces sure look handmade. And it looks like it would be torture. Gotta figure out how to post a pic from my phone

Hi everybody, It's been a while since I posted here. Business has dropped for me at the flea market, therefore, my shopping has too :( One thing I still hunt for is hats. My son says I have "a hat problem" so I decided I'd go through them this year by posting a hat picture a day on twitter. I'm...

So I bought a trash bag of beaded "things" that had belonged to Gilda Gray. I was in a hurry and didn't go through it, until I got home. I also didn't research her until I got home either and regret not grabbing some of the paper stuff that had her name/signature on it. I actually left canceled...

Hi everybody, I have been on the lookout for one of these for a while. I have one that is velvet and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it, but is in fragile condition and I'm scared to wear it too much. I want one that is sturdy but does not need to be perfect as I plan to add antique trims. Velvet is preferred...

I know there are jewelry people here so I'll see if ya'll know... I got these necklaces at the flea market for a steal, intending to throw them in my jewelry box and wear them then I saw the signature and did a quick search, wow, some Miriam Haskell pieces go high, yet others don't here...

ebay\'s new \"easier\" look "We're working to make eBay easier to use." MY ASS! now to see a picture of a decent size I have to click and open a new window? They've moved everything around too. as a buyer this is very annoying. I haven't sold with the new look, but was getting ready to...

I recently won one of my holy grails on ebay, a Geoffrey coat. It was listed as having tears in the lining and inside pockets but having no bare spots of tears in the fur. I got it and as soon as I opened the box, smelled mildew. I thought, ehhhhh maybe it just needs airing out, and ran to the...

do you put music on your ebay listings? Please stop, it NEVER fails to make me jump when I view a lising and music starts, any music. maybe I'm just on edge, :BAGUSE: hehehe sorry about the rant

Hi there all, My son and I are going to a goth event in early May, while I plan on going with more a Victorian steampunk look, my son wants to wear a claok. He's 13, pretty small and ususally wears a small adult size shirt, it can't be too feminine and no velvet, he hates the feel of velvet...

Happy Valentine\'s Day Vintage Lovers! I don't get to wear this tomorrow because I have to work, so I'll share with people who can appreciate it Hope everyone has a special day! :kiss2: and back in the closet it goes :violins:

Through some dilligent digging ending in black hands, I made a nice score of all these button/fastener things, although they weren't exactily cheap, I love them. They un-hook from their chains, I suspect some are bakelite but haven't tested any, they have metal shanks (I think that's what...

Alfred Shaheen dies at 86 I just missed him at a Hawaiiana show a few years ago, came the next and his daughter was there as he was too ill. Lost my chance to meet him and have him sign some pieces. So sad

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/09/26/sacha-baron-cohens-bruno_n_129587.html this should be a great movie when it comes out, if he can get away with it, people seem to be on to him since Borat. He was denied access, although he tried, at NY fashion week.

This is amazing http://www.thefashioniste.com/ scroll down for the site map....lots to see, enjoy! As someone who believes there hasn't been much new in fashion since the 80's (except my new Chanel ankle purse, hehe) This guy's "style alikes" are AWESOME! I believe there are 3 loaded with...

these boots are some kind of canvas material with leather at the toes and on the heel. Marked inside the butter soft leather lining (I have it turned over for the picture) They zip up the sides but not all the way to the top. thanks to ebay's wonderful new search, I have found none like these...

Hi all. First I appologise for the poor photo quality my camera is OLD and my son lost my brand new one. If more photos are needed I can use my iPhone, I bet it takes better pictures than my camera. I made a great score at an Estate sale this week. I had my arms full of these costumes as...

You don\'t know Jax...or do you? Hi all I was happy to find some Jax pencil pants last weekend (too bad they are tiny) *note this is not the Jax clothing Co. in Canada There is little information on Jax that I can find. I know there was a boutique, and I know it was one of Marilyn's...
