lilliann

My mild curiosity has reached near obsessive levels as I’ve scoured the internet and come up with nothing. I bought this beautiful Lilli Ann coat several years ago but pulled it out recently now that it fits my daughter. The label says Lilli Ann and Young Young. I have only seen one other label...

I have had this Lilli Ann sitting in my closet for almost a year. Wanting help with date. Im guessing 60s but unsure. It does have a nylon zipper and a pinked liner. The fabric feels like polyester. Im wondering if there is any chance of soaki g it in cool water as an attempt to get the...

Hello! I purchased this 1960s Lilli Ann set the other day. It has a few stains and smells of cigarettes. What’s the best way to clean this piece? I didn’t think dry cleaning would get the stains out, but I could be wrong. I do have a lot of special detergents and soaps at home that I treat my...

Trying to date this Lilli Ann Designed in Paris 2-piece suit. Not sure if it is 50’s or 60’s. Can anyone help?

Hi! I found this forum after searching for more information on a coat I just scored at Goodwill! It's beautiful and fits me like a glove! I can't find anything like it online though. It's a cream and lavender herringbone pattern, no collar or buttons, with diagonal slit pockets on the front, a...

I have a vintage Lilli Ann swing coat that belonged to my mother. She passed away in 2012 and the coat has just been hanging in my closet since. I finally decided to do some web research and came across this group. I was hoping you could tell me more about this item. Any information you...

Help... Do you think dry cleaning will be able to get out stains? They are only on the inside. Not sure if it would be better to replace the lining or leave as is since they cannot be seen on the outside. Also I have only recently discovered the Lilli Ann did suits.. or outfits with matching...

Hello! I am hoping someone will be able to help with the dating of this Lilli Ann coat. Unfortunately the coat is missing the label that usually appears at the back of the neck, but the fabric label is present. The coat is of a Lilli Ann style I recognize, but I’m not sure if it dates from the...

I purchased this coat today. Need help with date. I am thinking 40's by looking at your label resource? Also material? I know it is hard to tell in pictures, but it does not really seem like wool but it could be? You guys are so awesome all the time. I actually picked up several items and may...

I found a Lilli Ann brown leather and faux fur swing coat (from what I believe was the London Leathers line). It's amazing, in great condition and was 75 percent off at Goodwill--costing only $5. I had to have it! There's one problem, though...the sleeves look like bracelet sleeves on me, and...

Found this lilli ann knits coat in grandma's estate no unlabeled aside from designer. Does the knit mean that the fabric is knit? Very heavy like wool. No size label either. Is this common? 1960's would be my guess based on when grandma would have worn something like this. However, it is in...

hello I’m looking for some clarification on my grandmothers fur coat. She always said it was mink, now 18 years since her death I wonder if it is indeed mink. The label says Adolf Schulman for Lilli Ann made in England. I have a photo attached of all the markings I can find. By the look and...

The coat in question is in my seamstress's possession right now or I'd take a photo. It is black wool with black velvet stripes placed vertically on its "skirt." The sleeves are wide and deeply cuffed. It has nine rather ordinary 1 1/8" buttons down the front (single-breasted); they look like...

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

So the Lilli Ann coat finally arrived and I grabbed some pictures. Please tell me what you think! Mannequin would be roughly 5'7"/8" with a head. The hand stitching is beautiful, so well done. The photos of the seam show the hem with the lining up and then with the lining down. I personally...

This may seem like an odd question but here goes. I just purchased this Lilli Ann coat in the rare purple colour. I haven't received the coat yet (image is from the listing) however in the description, the length is listed at 42". Other examples of this coat are listed at 45" and some up to 50"...

I just found my first Lilli Ann suit today at a flea market and I'm wondering what decade it's from. To me it looks like a 1950s suit however in the label database, this label is from an early 1960s coat. There is also a union label inside that was used from 1933-1964 so this doesn't really...

Does anyone know if Lilli Ann clothing was ever made in Israel? I'm looking at bidding on a coat in an online auction that has a Lilli Ann tag but also has a Made in Israel tag, which seems a little fishy. Any advice would be welcome!

I almost fell over when I found this at my local salvation army (for $9.99:)) I looked through the label resource, and am feeling good about it dating to the early 60's, but would like to be certain. Also, I think the collar is sheared beaver (as it feels very much like a beaver coat I own) but...

Hello All, I am so happy to be apart of this lovely group! This is my first post. I just acquired this lovely Lilli Ann Suit. I looked in your Label resource an it is telling me it is from around 1946. Did Adoldph Schuman make Lilli Ann Suits in 1934 ? This suit seems older than 1946. Best Regards

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 I'm looking for a Lilli Ann coat (longish swing style) in blue or green, ideally a pastel. I'm fairly flexible about the style. So what do you have?! Thanks

Hello! Label question here. I've seen a lot of 40s/50s Lilli Ann jackets with labels. You know, with the larger, almost square-ish label with the zig zag border, and they say "an original from Lilli Ann of san francisco"? Well, I have only seen these placed in the upper inside neck area. I've...

I have a Lilli Ann skirt and I didn't recognize the label...can anyone help me date this item??

The label on this Lilli Ann jacket is a match to the Label Resource "Lilli Ann late 1940s." I will list as late 1940s unless there's a detail I'm missing that would suggest dating the jacket earlier or later. Thanks for taking a look and sharing your opinions. -Alice

here is the label. label resource shows same label on early 60's garment. Is dating on this suit 60s?

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...

on the website as soon as I can can get it there..... Sculpted velvet belted coat, fox fur trim with slits in sleeves and scarf collar.... Black sheath dress with velvet band at hem beneath coat.... Ang

Don\'t drool on my New Lilli Ann!! A customer brought this mint condition 2 pc Lilli Ann suit for me yesterday. Not one tiny flaw on this beauty! The Store tag is Hess Brothers, Arlington,PA. Isn't she Sweet!!

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
