Hello, Can not lock in this jacket exactly on id. I believe I have narrowed it down to a Chief Joseph American Indian Jacket but not sure. Only 1 tag id on it. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Ty! By the way, Im the new guy :-)

I bought this Armani sweater/coat at a rummage sale for next to nothing. I am trying to find help describing it so that I can then price it. I’ve had no luck with my own descriptions!

Hi Everyone, Wondering if this is 80s or 90s or later? Also, would you call this a 'career' or tunic or what? Thanks for any help Lauren

Am I looking at 30s? 40s? 50s? I have seen this referred to as Point de Beauvais and wondering if that's an appropriate term? Thanks for any help Lauren

Hey Everyone, I can't recall what the term is for these sleeves? Thanks for any help, Lauren

I was wondering if there was a term to describe the flowered clothing item in the image below? This is Carte de visite image taken by a photographer who was active from 1866 to 1887 in Manchester, New Hampshire. It was more likely taken in the 1860s or 1870s due the fad of exchanging Carte de...

Hello, I've been wondering what this style / shape of heel is called? I just love the silhouette. I bought this pair from the online 2nd-hand marketplace ThredUp about a year ago, but sadly had to return them, because they were perhaps too small, and definitely too narrow. I usually wear a...

Hi VFG Community! Hoping y'all can help me identify a few specs on this crazy great skirt I've come into possession of. The label reads "De De Haute Couture Buenos Aires" and I'm curious to know a bit more about the designer, estimated production dates, fabric, and the specific terminology for...

Hi there! I've recently received a stunning tooled leather handbag with the most unique etched peacock clasp and am hoping to get some insight on it (decade, terminology, pricing, etc.). I'd be thrilled to hear the community's thoughts on this magical piece❤️

I have had this 70s (i think?) Neiman Marcus dress for a while, but I don't really know what you would call it. Is it a dressing gown? A nightgown? An actual dress for wearing out? It is hairy and has a zipper (i think the photos have it on backwards) and it is not as heavy as it would seem...

I'm not certain what the proper names for these two pieces are, so I just grabbed a couple! I've designated the shawl as the larger and the stole as the animal. I stated mink because that is what my friend who owned them called them. Also, they look like mink from all of your other pictures...

I have a vintage red / black Pendleton Hunting jacket. - four pockets with metal snaps on the front. Pockets are square to the bottom of the jacket and not angled. - hunting pocket across the back accessible by snap flaps on either side - six button design (no Pendleton on the buttons) - Tag...

Hi folks, I am searching for information on the designer and history behind a Catalina women's bathing suit. The suit is one-piece, cotton, boned, with button straps and a sarong-style tie over one hip. It has classic boy leg styling, and elasticated shirring at the sides and center front...

Hello All, Here is a 100% silk dress in fuscia which I adore (alas way too small for me!) In describing it to another, I ran into myself not knowing what certain features are called. My thought was to describe the dress as "80s does 40s" but what does one call that asymmetrical apron piece on...

Hi All, I've searched EVERYWHERE online for information on a box of hats my great grandmother owned but to no avail. I was hoping someone on this forum could share some information with me that I could potentially use to list the hats on ebay. Most of the hats have an attached mother of pearl...

Hello! I found this lovely shawl (?) languishing in a fabric pile at an antique store, and after reading everything I could find on the forums about piano shawls, I have a couple questions. First, details: the shawl measures 54" by 54" with 16" tassels, so I think it seems a bit small for a...

I have acquired this dress and would like to sell it, but I have no idea how to price it?? ( I don't normally sell vintage clothing) I have been researching it for days, with no luck. I can't find any dresses like it, I have found undergarments/ slips, but I didn't think they made slips in bold...

Hi, I've been trying to figure out a date range for this small straw cap, and if it would be classified as a Juliet cap. Any help anyone could give would be much appreciated! It is 9" wide front to back and 8 5/8" wide from side to side. Thanks, Susan

I found this after following a link for a 3 year glovemaker's apprenticeship offered by this british company! On their website they helpfully define the different types of seams used, which I remember us discussing a little while back: https://www.chesterjefferies.co.uk/our-gloves/ General...

I received a lot of costume jewelry, mostly Avon. But when I tried to identify these two pieces I'm left completely stumped! They are both unsigned pieces, not real gold/gold plated, and did not come in their packages. The first brooch has the shape of a maltese cross but with 5 sides like the...

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...

I'm sure its a mohair blend, makes sense....label is the pre '47 one, no Paris on it. Lined in silk crepe, wool trim lapel & french cuffs. What I cant describe in a way that sounds attractive is that "shaggy" look. Any great descriptors for it, does it have a name? Thanks! Ang
