Hi Everyone, I hope you are enjoying the holiday season so far. I found 2 interesting pieces recently with which I need your gracious assistance. Is this 1940s or 1950s? The belt is missing, do you think it would have been grey satin to match the collar or black? What would you call that...

Hi, I was hoping that maybe I could get help with my antique lace piece. At first I thought this was just a very long table runner, but now I'm thinking it may be a shawl. Would this have been worn by a bride? I was also wondering what type of lace and time period. Thank you so much for all of...

Hello! I am currently having a lot of trouble dating a dress I found at a thrift store. Everything about it is pointing to perhaps the late 40s - the 50s; the seams are saw-edged, it has a center back metal zipper (YKK), the sihlouette corresponds, ect. Based off of the inside, it looks home...

Hi! This one is not in the label resource and I'm trying to date it properly. I've seen some other examples in a different knit/denim variation with the same 'hand' label dated as early 90s... Fitted denim jacket with sewn in knit sweater sleeves. Maybe you care label symbol geniuses would...

I just found my first Lilli Ann suit today at a flea market and I'm wondering what decade it's from. To me it looks like a 1950s suit however in the label database, this label is from an early 1960s coat. There is also a union label inside that was used from 1933-1964 so this doesn't really...

I almost fell over when I found this at my local salvation army (for $9.99:)) I looked through the label resource, and am feeling good about it dating to the early 60's, but would like to be certain. Also, I think the collar is sheared beaver (as it feels very much like a beaver coat I own) but...

Hello All, I am so happy to be apart of this lovely group! This is my first post. I just acquired this lovely Lilli Ann Suit. I looked in your Label resource an it is telling me it is from around 1946. Did Adoldph Schuman make Lilli Ann Suits in 1934 ? This suit seems older than 1946. Best Regards

I have just acquired this Persian/curly lamb capelet, with a Jean Patou label inside. The label is black, with "Jean Patou" and "Rue St. Florentin", "Paris". All of the labels I have found have been on a white background with a different font. The shape of this piece is slightly cocoon-ish, a...

Hi All, I have a couple of men's short sleeve Pendleton wool plaid shirts that I am having trouble assigning a decade to. The combination of this particular style of Pendleton label (with no wool mark) alongside the washing instruction tag is perplexing me. Does anyone know when these labels...

Not taking labels into consideration I would have thought this dates from the 80s or 90s, which way to go I'm not sure. The strip diamante trim is not a cheap one - metal and glass I think and a good weight. The plastic buttons in particular look like copies of 50's rhinestone buttons to me...

Hi Everyone, I seem to be inundated with puzzlers (to me anyway)..... This flannel shirt says "single needle tailoring Canada" which would make me think it was on the 'earlier' side but I really don't know....the only other label is that soft type inside on one of the seams and all the...

Hello, I've found this beautiful lightweight blazer in a second hand store and have hard times with dating it. It has an op-art pattern in white and tones of blue.
