Hi Everyone! Long time lurker, occasional poster ;) I've finally decided to part with a vintage (new with tags!) DVF wrap dress that I've had for several years. It's time to admit I'm never going to grow a foot and fit into it lol. I know certain prints are more popular than others, but I...

Hi, I'm back with my latest question! I have this dress that I picked up because it was only a few dollars and I thought the fabric was so lovely but it's torn in several places. Okay, to start, it's a handmade shirtwaist dress, made from a very lightweight cotton (voile?). It hits just below...

I have this 50's/60's Cay Artley dress that has no materials tag inside. It is pretty light, with a slight vertically crinkly texture- maybe some kid of crepe? It has some light staining and I really need to hand wash it, but I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this material and...

I have a couple questions regarding this dress I found. First, what decade is it from? Second, is Nipon Night a branch from Albert Nipon? Any other helpful details would be very much appreciated! The beading on the sleeves is just beautiful. Heavy, too!

Guilty! My and/or the dry cleaner's failure or inability to thoroughly remove perspiration from a silk Halston shirt dress from the mid-70s has left me with a dress too precious to toss but not usable in its present state. The underarm stains on the mint green silk seem to have expanded...

Hello all! I've discovered this wonderful dress in the collections I work in and my search for any information has gotten me no where. The label is slightly shattered, but it reads: Nina Caron 11, Rue d'Alger, Paris Below is the label. In case the style or something looks familiar to anyone...

Hello all! I’m fairly new here and hoping someone may be able to help me. I recently came across a Mike Benet dress at a yard sale and purchased it. I’m wondering what year it may be from, and as it sadly doesn’t fit me, if anyone would know what the value may be. I’ve only found one other...
