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...

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?
