Hi friends. I found this dress at an estate sale for a few dollars last weekend, and i am hoping for any tips on cleaning and care. I am not sure of the fiber content, as there aren't any labels. It feels like taffeta, very crispy and kind of shiny. I think it is synthetic, i have not done a...

I have just bought this elegant jet black dress designed by jacques heim. I am tempted to keep this or if it is worth selling on to a collector. I would like to know the era and the name of the fabric used (the entire dress is overlaid with a fabric that resembles metallic mesh and its...

Hi everyone. I recently went to my local Value Village and struck gold. I'm left with many questions regarding dates. I'm not entirely sure how old this dress is. I can't seem to find any information regarding the label itself and the union tag was used from 1964 ~ 1980s. I think it's from...

Hi Friends, I have a cotton kimono with a Snoopy print. The edge is stamped (c) 1958 United Feature Syndicate. Does this date the kimono to 1958? I was thinking 1970s, can you help date by the satin tag? Thanks in advance for your expertise! Trish

I am trying to determine the year or a general time frame on this dress. It was given to me by a friend years ago and I didn't think much of it. Now as I am researching it, I think it may be older than I originally thought. At first I thought it was a 1970's prairie style dress, but now due to...

Found this button down shirt with a discontinuous "spool" like pattern woven in. The inside shows the cut ends of the thread. Thanks!

Hello to everyone! I can't remember/never knew? the name for this type of weave? Thanks for any help Lauren

I was needing help identifying this dress. I spent hours searching and tried google image, but haven't had any luck. It is an extremely heavy and thick material. The back has an open cut out or laser cut out. The tags have been cut out so there is not even a tag telling me for sure what kind of...

I'd would like to get informations about this dress, mainly about when it could have been done, fabric type, about the zips, lace/embroidery name ... Thank you for reading ! PS : There is a big hole in the lining in the back. Black part: It's made of crepe, wich looks shinny on the inside...

Uhhh... this IS burlap right? I mean, it feels like burlap. But might you call it something different?

me again, with yet another piece that I can't identify. There are no tags or labels, so it must be handmade. It has an old dry cleaning (or something similar) tag attached with a local name and # which i have tried contacting to no avail. It feels like wool, i guess it could be polyester...

I have rescued about 15 yards of fabric and 3 sets of cotton drapes from the trash but don't know if they were worth saving. Would love any help in identifying this fabric. The first shot is of the pleated and lined cotton drapery panels. The second and third shots are 6yds each both medium...

Hello, After some assistance on a Shaheen dress I have the selvedge is printed as follows "A Shaheen of Honolulu Screen print by Oriana" Who/ What was Oriana? I've searched and searched the internet to no avail As an aside, pic of the dress and selvedge alongside this post : ) Liz

London Fog jacket I'm also curious about. The pockets have no additional tags. It's a really nice coat. Very warm, though it is obviously for men. :) If anyone has any thoughts, If or knows what year this might be and the fabrics I would be very grateful.

I own this wonderful Lilli Ann jacket, and I was wondering: - How old is this jacket? - What kind of fabric is used? It is a nice peplum jacket Fully lined It has the ILGWU tag It closes with fabric buttons, and a hook and eye at the waist

Hi Everyone! I nearly passed on this dress at an estate sale because of a multitude of stains. All but one faint stain came out in a cold water Woolite soak/wash. It's obviously a knit but no content tag. Can anyone tell the fabric from the photos? Also, it has a union tag with the letters...

Can anyone please tell me more about a dress made of this Liberty fabric? The label say Fashion Flair pure silk-dry clean only hand woven in India. The name of the fabric is printed in the seems. Thank you.

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!

Can anyone tell me what the name of this type of fabric?

I've searched everywhere and can't find anything on this label :( This dress looks 80s to me, was made in Italy, is 100% silk and carries a label with what I think reads Cynthia Baxter (written in script, see photos below). There's also a name within the abstract print that you'll see in...

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...

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
