So I found this gorgeous dress on a page for damaged dresses. It was so beautiful I decided to purchase it to try to restore it back to its former Beauty but I'd love to know if anybody had any idea of the designer! It's 1950s, and the interior bodice is silk with boning. It's constructed so...

What are your thoughts on this one? I usually find pussy bow blouses and dresses from the late 1970s - early 1980s era. But isn’t the silhouette on this one is more of a 1960s style? Could it be early 1970s then? It is knee length and probably homemade, no tags. Also 99% chance it is a European...

Hi I’m really puzzled about this one. Feels homemade, no tags, no surged seams. It is ankle or mid calf length depending on persons height. Really interesting lightweight fabric - it is silk according to a burn test. Double breasted front with pleats, elegant puffed shoulder, matching belt. No...

When I got this gown I immediately thought it’s a 70s does edwardian, prairie dress. However I could be wrong, what are your thoughts? It’s definitely homemade, white and yellow mesh (or lace?), the lining was orange at first but washed out into a peachy pink color. (lots of color bleeding from...

Hi everyone, I recently purchased a 1950s-style pink gingham dress whose label reads "Styled by Miss Smith -- The American Look." When I research the brand online, I cannot find any information about it. The RN number led me to Gladstone Arcuni Inc., who owned Hattie Leeds, so maybe "Miss...

Hi again, I have a second dress I'm trying to get some more info on. I think maybe it's mid 1970s based on the label. I couldn't find an exact match on your label resource, but comparing what's there with what I found on this website...

Hi everyone! I'm new here and am curious about this dress I picked up from the thrift store. It's quite long and petite, metallic with flowers. Does anyone recognize it or have an idea of when it was made? Or maybe someone can point me in the right direction for "identifying" it. Any help is...

Hi! I’m looking at a listing for this dress and was hoping someone could help me date this before I buy it? I’m thinking it’s mid 2000’s but would love to figure out the exact year/collection this was from if anyone has any insight!

Hi all!! I just got this insanely good Norman Hartnell day dress, and I’m not sure how old it is? The style tells me 40s but the back zipper makes me think it’s newer? Any help would be much appreciated! Also it may need a clean; would it survive a drycleaning? Or is it best to leave it be?

Unsure of the age of this dress. After what year were Betsey Dresses made in China? Photo below, thank you all very much and I hope that you had a splendid weekend.

I really need help finding more information about this fabric. I have reached out to other people who own similar looking vintage pieces and they will not tell me anything but proceeded to try to buy it off me without telling me what I truly have. I believe what I have here could be a Marc...

Hello everyone! It's my first time posting, so I hope I'm going about this the right way. I recently found a holy grail of a Traina-Norell gown at a secondhand shop that I've been researching since I purchased it. It is all silk that is completely structurally sound with a faint dark spot on...

I've been using Google and Google lens to learn more about this brand but I can't find anything about this label. I suspect the dress is from the '80s but I'm not sure.

Have a cute 1970s DVF wrap dress in floral rayon/cotton. But it is sleeveless. Anyone know if she designed sleeveless wrap dresses back then? Or was this maybe altered? I did find a photo of her wearing a a dress with the same print, but different style. So at least I have the decade right...

I found this Joseph Ribkoff evening dress in a thrift shop. I reached put to Joseph Rinkoff via their website for help with daring, but all they could tell me that it was made when all their records were paper based and they cannot narrow that down for me. My impression is that it is 1980's...

Hello guilders! First time poster, long time follower. I recently came into possession of this Thea Porter Dress and I haven't had any luck in dating it, or finding out any information about the green bunny pattern. The best I could do was determine that it dates sometime between 1969-71...
