Hi, I’m fairly new here. A friend told me you might be able to find information on my Iceberg Disney Gilman Donald orange velvet coat/jacket. I can’t seem to find anything on it. It was made in Italy. I am not sure what year it was from. From googling it looks like it is vintage and only a...

Hi everyone. I recently went barmy at a vinatge auction over this robe. I was encouraged as the woman I was bidding against is an expert in this kind of thing and she really wanted it, so I convinced myself (maybe foolishly ) that is was worth the battle! but now I don't have a clue what I have...

Hello everyone! I just got this vintage fur hand muff yesterday and I think it's from the 40's but not 100% sure. Can someone help me confirm on the dating? I've been looking around trying to figure out what kind of fur this is and I can't seem to get it. The fur is about 3/4" to 1" in length...

Hello! I'm new at this forum, as I'm just starting my way into vintage clothing. And I'm loving it :) I'm still trying to date this Rive G Gauche navy wool jacket. According to my research, the buttons should be a bit different (they are usually studded or gold textured), but I think it's from...

Hello lovely people! I am stumped about dating this dress I rescued from a bin at the back of an antique store today. As per the photos, it is a light pink and white cotton dress, and it is quite long as I am 6' tall and it falls about four inches below the knee. I think it might be 1970s, but I...

I bought these shorts the other day, and I know they are vintage however I am having a hard time placing what era they are from as the style is unfamiliar to me. They are very short, high waisted, and have built in bloomers. Zipper is the center back and also has a clasp closure. The zipper...

just got this red velvet bag. No labels or anything. Any guesses on when it's from? http://photobucket.com/gallery/user/lgendelman/media/bWVkaWFJZDoxNDI2NDQwMzk=/?ref=1 http://photobucket.com/gallery/user/lgendelman/media/bWVkaWFJZDoxNDI2NDQwNDA=/?ref=1

Hello! I have a dress set from the 1940s that is a Jean Lang original. I can't find much on the designer. It's one of the most well made/detailed sets that I've seen. Would anyone know if this a rare set? Thank you!

Hi all, We bought a vintage coat from a little store here in Italy and we are trying hard to identify how old and where it comes from. I've included pictures of the coat itself, the hem, and the buttons which say, "Bretagne, A Ma Vie" so I assume it's french? But I don't know anything else...

Happy New Year! Can anyone help me date this mens wool chin strap work shirt? Im not familiar with these and can't figure out if its the real deal or a repro... are they the correct seams? Appreciate any help! Thank you!

I was gifted this hat by a lady, and I don’t have any information on it. I have tried finding something on it, but I can’t seem to find anything. If anyone could help me that would be great! Thanks in advance.

Hello, I am stumped on the era of this blouse. It has beautiful embroidery around the neckline. The metal zippers on the cuffs, side of blouse and at the neck make me wonder if this is 40s? Am i way off? Any help would be appreciated!

Hello! I've had this dress for a while and have always thought it an interesting piece. My guess was that it dates 60s because of the length, the center back zipper and overall style. The only label is a very faded white square that states "Lot Sz 13." The dress itself is definitely a S/M when...

Hi. I just picked up this Birger Christensen coat. After reading through the site, I think it might be broadtail but need your expertise to confirm. It is super duper soft. I've had similar furs in black before but they were always quite coarse. Also, any idea of the age. Thank you in...

hi I recently found this jacket and don’t know what year it is and can’t find pictures of it anywhere?! The brand is Big Smith. And yes it has rust stains :’(

Please help me with dating this dress. I found two dresses online with a similar label Pierany minus the street addy. One said it was 70's and another 40's ( the exact same label ). What do you think? Thank you so much, Joanne

Hi Everyone! I acquired a very early green wool cape coat with the name Enzo Nori. I was wondering if anybody could identify anything I’m an unable to find to much.

Hello! I'm new to the forum, but in reality I've been stalking it for awhile now without an account. So, I know enough about dating vintage clothing to be dangerous, but I know little to nothing about dating accessories. I just picked up this hat at a consignment antique store and am unsure...

Hi I was wondering can anyone help me with the mojud label? These nightdresses were sold to me as from the 1950s but I want to check thanks

Hello. So I've searched Etsy, eBay and google and the VFG label resources to try to figure out what era this garment is from. This is the only label in the garment. It's just your typical men's plaid wool button up made by Sportowne. The label looks really old. My guess would be 1940s or...

Hello :) Any information about this item would be much appreciated! Thank you for paying it forward!

I am hoping for more information on the date of this Marimekko maxi dress I just bought. It looks like 60s or 70s but the XS is throwing me - I thought older ones would be marked 32, 36, etc. But the rest of the tags look very vintage. Also wondering who designed the fabric if anyone knows. I...

any info you have on identifying style and period of this dress/caftan would be appreciated!!

Hello. So I've googled this and also checker the VFG label resources and I'm coming up with nothing as far as finding a match for this label and dating this skirt. I was hoping someone could help me. The tag says Jerri Allen and it feels silky and it's sewn in all the way around. There are...

Hello! Does anyone have any information on Helga Couture? The lining looks and feels like rayon. I have searched everywhere. Thank you!

Hi there! I've been researching fur coats trying to figure out what this piece is, but I've come across more questions than answers. This was one of my grandma's fur coats. My mom said it was purchased in 1989 and is "black sable mink". I told her that sable and mink are both types of fur, and...

I am getting ready to list this thinking it was 1950s at the latest and since looking up the adverts and the label resource I'm beginning to wonder if it's not earlier. Certainly a lot of the ads around 1950 have the frilled hem and sweetheart neckline but I haven't been able to find any with...
