Hi all. It's now my turn to have a mystery vintage manufacturer. I have a 'new with tag' 1960's nylon full slip with Calais lace and I can't for the life of me find anything out about the maker - an American company, MéChelle Exclusives (or Mé Chelle Exclusives). For what it's worth, it has...

Hi! I'm new to the platform, and my name is Elle. I'm studying for a Ph.D. in fashion history/historic textile conservation. I also wear vintage daily. I'm posting this to ask about the Charmode Nuback from Sears Roebuck and Co. I checked the VFG label resource and scoured the Internet but could...

Can’t figure out why this was made like this? It looks like the back is mostly open except for the button down section.

Hi! I found a small pile of vintage lingerie/slips at an estate sale that included pieces that are clearly from the 1920s to clearly from the later 1940s, with a few 1960s pieces as well. Also included was this piece. I was wondering if anyone with expertise in finishing techniques could shed...

Just trying to clarify information regarding Artemis label and confirm date of navy blue, full slip. I did not find a label for Artemis without the Gossard here on VFG. I am supplying pic of my garments label. I found that Artemis and Gossard merged companies perhaps early 60's? VFG states...

I have a question about the age of this flannel petticoat, are there clues that would narrow it down? Also, what exactly is the style of embellishment called? It is flat brains, hand stitched down, similar to the way that rouleaux is applied. And lastly, it is an 18” waist, with a very wide...

I need help in determining the age of these pj's. The style of the top seems older - like 1930s-40s but the bottoms are shorts with an elastic waist. There is no evidence that they have been altered. That indicates to me that they are no later than 1950's. The shorts also have an odd inserted...

Hello! I am an online seller and I thrift to find vintage finds and such. I am very new to it and don’t know much about vintage clothing, although I enjoy it! I was wondering if anyone could help me identify if this was a real Victoria’s Secret label, and if possible, what era is it from? Thank you!

I need help fining out more about RN 19001 Spotlight Co Inc Allentown pa. I have a gorgeous lingerie peignoir set from this company there is no care instructions or company name on the label just the rn number but i am not getting anywhere with searching it. This has been on going at one point...

I found a bra that is circle stitched, but has plastic shoulder strap adjusters. There's no label, but I'm fairly certain this is cotton. What era is this bra? I'm quite confused.

I found this nightgown at a thrift shop this morning, has a Dior Junior label with ILGWU tag. I'm having difficulty finding information regarding a Dior Junior label, so I wasn't sure if this was an actual legitimate Dior clothing line?

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 was wondering can anyone help me with the mojud label? These nightdresses were sold to me as from the 1950s but I want to check thanks

I am getting ready to list this thinking it was 1950s at the latest and since looking up the adverts and the label resource I'm beginning to wonder if it's not earlier. Certainly a lot of the ads around 1950 have the frilled hem and sweetheart neckline but I haven't been able to find any with...

edit -*FOUND IN LABEL RESOURCE* Hi everyone! I am trying to date a white cotton slip that's labeled - Hollywood Vassarette by Munsingwear. I've seen Vassarette and Munsingwear but not with Hollywood in the mix, lol. I've included pics of the label and hardware as well as a somewhat incomplete...

hello! I purchased this cotton jumpsuit recently from a small vintage store. The seller thought it was 1940s, but I was thinking it could be a pair of beach pajamas from the 20s/30s. The fabric is very thin and lightweight and it looks like it has that wide leg style of beach pajamas. There are...

It's a top, I know that, no buttons, only a neck sash. Anyone know how it is supposed to be tied? Or, how it is supposed to be worn? Any guesses on a time period? The label resource does not have this label listed. This is the only tag on the garment.
