Hi, Snatched up this superb tie today and although it's marked Liberty of London, I've never seen that particular label. Anyone recognise it to help with dating (it's not on the VFG label guide for Liberty). I'm assuming 1960s. I know Trimingham's was a department store in Bermuda that was...

Is this Emma Domb dress 70's? Also, c an you tell me what you think the fabric might be; when I hear it I will probably recognize it. Thanks!

My mother in law found a beautiful pendleton 49er jacket, but when she brought it home it was too large. Now, she is looking in to selling it, but needs more information about the specific year it was made, whether or not its even worth anything, and if it is worth something, what is the going...

I'm looking at a deep cloche hat in pale pink straw with the most extravagant lining and label I've ever seen, it matches the one in the resource with pink ribbon loops either side with diamantes on, currently dated as 70's, but this one also has a minature red chiffon bow sewn on at the bottom...

Hi Everyone, I found this great coat by Norman Hartnell and don't see a Label Resource Listing for that particular label and would like to submit it with a specific date. Also interested in any opinions regarding what to do with the two rips in the otherwise lovely lining prior to listing this...

According to the LR this is 20's? What do you call arms like that? What kind of style is it? Is it Victorian-ish? Thanks so much for your help!!!

I am trying to make sure that I have accurate eras when I list something so that maybe next time I apply to be a member of the VFG, I'll be accepted. I googled and although I was able to find examples of Country Set by Margit, I wasn't able to find any compnay information. Who was Margit? One...

Thank you for your help in narrowing down the date for this Traina-Norell jacket. VFG has a similar label for 1950s, but I read that Norell teamed up with Traina as early as the 1940s. I don't think this jacket would be considered a bolero style, but not sure. The small collar and full cut...

Hello, I am new here and looking to see how to research an item I bought at an estate sale today! It is an Emporio Armani cream-colored cape-coat in great condition. I believe it is from the 80s, only because of the tag. I did find one site that let me look at Armani tags to date it. How does...

This does not look very "Halston" to me and I cannot find a label exactly like this. Some are similar but the font is a little different. If you have any insight please let me know. Just FYI - zipper is on the side and I JUST found a "lot size 10" on it. Literally just found it.

The label on this Lilli Ann jacket is a match to the Label Resource "Lilli Ann late 1940s." I will list as late 1940s unless there's a detail I'm missing that would suggest dating the jacket earlier or later. Thanks for taking a look and sharing your opinions. -Alice

Hello, and thank you for looking at my post. I am definitely a new kid when it comes to shopping for vintage, but I found some interesting pieces and was hoping that maybe someone here with a bit more expertise might be able to help! First I found this great blue and black hounds tooth skirted...

Hi, I found these shoes in a box of old clothes my mom wanted to throw out. The same label (but from a coat) is in the label resource and is late 80s or 90s. I was wondering if anyone knows if the style is 80s or 90s more specifically, since they look quite unique. How would you describe these...

Hi, Any ideas on the date of this pink floral linen Alfred Shaheen skirt? It has the name Shaheen on the front and along the inside seam (last photo). It says "Alfred Shaheen - Hand Printed In Hawaii." Thank you!

Hello, I have had my eyes on one Greer dress for a very long time, and need help dating the frock... Based on this label, does anyone know if it´s 50s or 60s? I have one Greer from the 40s and it´s very typical (if Greer can ever be described as "typical"); this one is slightly odd for me. I...

Hi everyone, I've been a long time reader on this forum and decided to make an account to ask a question about a recent thrift store find: It is a wool Missoni sweater: Hope those images came up. Labels say: Missoni Mare linea crociera M I find very little info on this line...

Hi - I'm new to this site. I'm hoping someone can help me with this label. It looks like D & G 1982. I purchased about 4 pieces with this same label. They're all suede/leather. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you few more pictures (they're awful - I'm sorry). The skirt has a...

Hello! Can anyone help me date this Halston? It's black velvet with no closure. I've seen this label on 70's pieces but I personally have little knowledge about Halston. Thanks! Nicola

here is the label. label resource shows same label on early 60's garment. Is dating on this suit 60s?

Teena Paige (60\'s or 70\'s?) Label Trying to figure out the decade this dress was made in. I'm guessing 60's. any clues via the tag?

Hi, I want to sell a coat I have had for long time. I think it's from around 1980. I have done lots of searching for info about the "designer" Diana Leslie and the name Animal Rainbow, which is on the label in the coat but the only thing I could find is 3 items up for auction It seems like...

I recently found these earrings at a thrift store. They are signed Schiaparelli on the back. I wondered if you could give me an approximate date. I read that she designed mostly in the 30s - 50s but some pieces were designed in her name in the 70s as well. Thanks for your help! See below for...

Hi everyone ! Hope someone can date this Lilli Ann. Its thick black wool fabric, super soft, with a tiny bit of shine. Could it be cashmere ? What kind of pleats are at the upper shoulder ? I looked at the label resource and the label corresponds to early 60s. I was thinking 50s, but could...

Hi, I was sure that my Parnes Feinstein eyelet dress was from the 1950s until I saw a 1940s label on VFG that looked just like mine. When I posted previously, I didn't know that I wasn't supposed to post photos of items that I was going to list (oops)! I guess I can only post a photo of the...

Hi Everyone, Me again with a new question. I have this Halston dress. It's been hanging in my closet for a while. It is eggplant colored and is a tank style with a chiffon overlay. Is this from the 1980s? Does this style of dress have a name. Any keywords would be appreciated. Sorry it is...

Not real special, but i think its really cute.. i love checks. this little check mini skirt has a metal side zipper, and no waist band.. is it 70's or a 70/80's cusper?? They just did a feature recently on Tommy on a Sunday morning show.. he seemed so charming.. i was quite impressed at...

Late 60s, early 70s... I can't decide. Second one, with her signature butterflies, is HM Ban-Lon by Vivid. (The first dress does up at the back and the placket is unusual as it goes from right to left). Thanks! PS - Different labels for resource coming.

Posted this in a different topic. Hopefully this will help me get a response Just wanted to know if anyone can refer me to specific info about an Alley Cat piece I just picked up. I know about the label but I am trying to determine specifically what year and season it came out. My camera is...

A) This is a real REAL wiggle!! Past the knee, no slit or kick pleat. Saucy! B) The shoulder has two knotted pieces atop each separate piece creating the opening (which is the same in back). So. The question (and I will add labels tomorrow at the shop, there is the Estevez and a...

not sure of the year of this tommy bahama shirt thank you
