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

This looks to me like an 80's purse - but I cannot find any real "vintage" JPG purses as a comparison!! This one is all leather and has a long flap that covers the whole purse, with a magnetic closure. Also - being vintage and given how much JPG purses sell for NOW.....what on earth can I ask...

I really dig this trapezeeee wrapish dress with leg-o-mutton sleeves. I'm thinking this is early 80s. Yes? No? Maybe so? THANKS!!!

I have a very large lot of western wear that I will be posting for a client in the days to come. She literally gave me 19 bags to sort. Some with orginal price tags. It is all H Bar C, Slim P, and Karman. Tons of polyester. Would 60s or 70s, sound right? I will try to post a large...

hello all... recently bought a mary quant blouse on ebay that was described as being from the 60s... but now that i have it i'm not so sure. the specific MQ label on the shirt is not in the label resource. it looks new. any thoughts on the date of this piece? thanks so much in advance.

This is my most treasured vintage find; I got it in a finnish thrift shop for 1,4 euros! Crazy cheap for such a beauty. I'd love to find out what year/decade it's from and also how much it could possibly sell for. It's made from polyester, but a very good one. It's in excellent condition and...

Hello there everyone. I am attempting to determine the date of manufacture of this women's Pendleton 49er jacket. I am hoping that you all can shed some light on the subject. There are four photos that I would like to share. http://img171.imageshack.us/my.php?image=1111175bdz6.jpg...
