Hi, I am new to VFG but I am hoping some one can help! I snapped up what I am hoping is a great Nina Ricci find. I have tried to research online but can't find a similar one. Could some please help me! Looking for some product info on this jacket. It's in pristine condition (looks like it's...

I have a silk scarf Liberty of London which features the Liberty store. Does anyone have any suggestions on a date for it please?

I would like to know more about this Jean Patou Numbered Couture dress, especially the period or year of make and if it could be a sought after piece, thanks!!

Hi Everyone! I nearly passed on this dress at an estate sale because of a multitude of stains. All but one faint stain came out in a cold water Woolite soak/wash. It's obviously a knit but no content tag. Can anyone tell the fabric from the photos? Also, it has a union tag with the letters...

Hi, All. This Pendleton label does not have the woolmark (pre-1964?). It is very cute. I am dating it at around the early 60s. Does that sound right? Thanks! Adam

Hi, I'm wondering if you can help me date this shaheen dress. I know the label resource says 70's, but a few things are making me think late 60's. The length is mid calf. In the pics it looks white, but it's actually a very light gray. Also, whats the best term for these sleeves? Trumpet...

Hello Everyone! Had an amazing weekend thrifting. Have searched for a directory of Schiaparelli headwear and am defeated trying to find this hat. The label appears to be 1950's? How can this style be described? There is also a small worn spot where the felt has been pulled but not a through and...

Hi! Was wondering if you could help out with dating a lovely Schiaparelli knit beaded dress and coat? Many Thanks! Tina

Hi, All. I have this nice Pendleton unlined, plaid, wool men's coat that was purchased at an estate sale in eastern Oregon. It does have a lined yoke, but the label does not include any sizing info (and obviously no wool mark). My research says that this dates this jacket to around the 30s or...

I am interesting in learning about these three hats - anything about the label, and dating them. thank you for help!

Hi all! I came across this wool cape today(forgive the wrinkles) and I was wondering about the Pendleton "Hand Tailored" labels. I understand that Pendleton was handing out labels in the 50's and 60's with a purchase of fabric to sew in the garments, does anyone have a date on when they started...

I was surprised to not find Albert Nipon label in the resource. Does anyone know the Albert Nipon with suits on the label? Most likely 1980s? Thanks. Sandy

Hi! So I've gotten pretty good with dating Pendleton's, but I did recently come across one that is giving me some trouble. I was wondering if you would mind giving it a look? It has an unusual label. Instead of the square label it has one of those folded over rectangular labels (vtg Woolrich...

Hello all! I wanted to get your opinion on this Hanae Mori dress that I just acquired. I didn't see this exact label in the label resource and this one feels on the cusp to me, could be 60s or 70s. Any thoughts? The dress is all silk with a metal back zipper.

Any information on this dress?

Hey! I found this dress and wasn't sure the era. Does anyone know anything about the pattern? The number or designer would be awesome! What would you call the style of the collar?

Hello I purchased a beautiful dress by Marimekko and began researching it, I found the article about it on this site but none of the tags looked quit like it. I wanted to see if anyone had any specifics on it, thank you.

I have a feeling it's not too old, although I'm a novice in vintage clothing, so I need your help!? Thanks :)

This is a Norell I bought last year. The label is similar to one in the Resource list for early 60s. Do you think that's the right year?

I have a Lilli Ann skirt and I didn't recognize the label...can anyone help me date this item??

Hi all and Happy International Women's Day! I acquired what I think is a late 60s or early 70s Vera dress but was looking for a second opinion from the pros. The label resource has very similar labels with the ladybug on the label but mine is the one that also says "all cotton, dripdry". Made...

Hi. I've collected a few vintage Pendleton shirts and am familiar with them, but this one stumps me. It has a loop collar (50s or 60s) and FOUR front pockets (70s lounge?) and a small collar (60s?). I can't place the decade. Anyone have a guess?

I found this bag (I hope I attached the photo correctly) in my mother-in-law's closet & am curious about it. It appears to made of leather and has no interior labels, only the "Nina Ricci" writing on the handles. The bag more of a tote, than a purse, as it is only one large interior pocket...

I accidentally found this scarf at the Alameda Antique Fair. I do not normally look for scarves but the guy was pressuring me to look at them. In a huge pile I noticed a silk Liberty of London. Any idea of its age? 70s?

Hello All, Would you put this late 40s or 50s? I've seen a few similar ones tagged 40s but also wondering if it was meant to be worn with a crinoline. Reminds me of Judy Garland's Dorothy. Would this be considered a day dress? Thanks again in advance. Lauren

I have two items that have been sitting around for years and I've finally registered here to see if I can find out more about them! The first is a dress from Nipon Boutique; I got it at a thrift shop a decade ago. I've looked around online and have seen another item with similar coloring (black...

Hello: I purchased this dress and would like to know if it is a true Halston and the age. The fabric looks like gauze. It has two pieces: one dress in a dark blue or black color with electric blue inside and a dress like a short caftan with the opposite color combination, electric blue outside...

My mens line has grown huge and I am trying to get a better feel for time periods on my mens stuff, but I just do not yet feel I can confidently date everything since I am rather ignorant of subtle changes in suit and jacket styles through the years. What might you think? 60s or 70s? Are...

Hey all! I stumbled upon this site looking for answers to questions about a skirt I found on a thrifting spree. The skirt is a deep green color with scarlet stitching, brass buttons and a matching green/brass belt. I took some pictures - the tag on the back is pictured. It's beautiful in person...
