Hi, I found a gorgeous dress, which is probably from 1940s (I’m not sure tho, if you could confirm I would be grateful!). The label says “Carl Petersen” and I couldn’t find any information about this designer/company other than the fact that it’s probably from Denmark. Could you please assist...

I found this dress at the thrift store the other day. Bergdorf Goodman Couture Givenchy label with an attached under label with info on it. I am new to high-end designers and cannot figure out when this dress may have been made, how much it cost, vintage or no, ect. Can anyone help me decipher...

Hi! I have a gorgeous black, lace bottom Joseph Ribkoff dress & I’m trying to figure out when it was made. I tried to find something online that explained how to read the lot code / tag, but had no luck. Can anyone decipher the info here? Model # 40412 Lot code # 019371 CA# 00710 Thanks!

As well as some help with its origins, I am almost curious as to whether it is authentic/legitimate? Just wondering so as the label is printed on, rather than a part of the fabric, which is evident in all other brand labels I have seen from Teena Paige. Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Hello all, I found this Sarmi New York velvet dress. Also with the Bonwit Teller tag. I have been searching the internet trying to figure out what this dress is and what it might be worth. I can’t find anything on it or even a similar dress. Can anyone help me out?

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...

Hi all, I have a vintage escada mini dress with a fully beaded halter bodice. It’s in excellent condition, though it’s clearly been shortened by its previous owner and has one pinpoint stain (circled in red). I’m looking to sell it but have no idea what to list it for. thank you so much! Daniela

I found this photo on the VFG instagram page, but it doesn't say who posted it or who owns the photo. This is a Balmain dress I examined in the V&A Collection. The midriff section of the dark flowers is made by cutting out the dark pink flowers on the fabric and applique' them together. As I...

If there is an upside to staying in, for me it is the opportunity to crush some restoration projects I thought I might never finish. What originally appeared to be a slam-dunk restoration, this 1928 flapper dress fought me every step of the way. Though it was missing about 500 jet beads to...

Got this green ribbed houndstooth pattern 60s mod dress recently. I think this is so fun yet casual.

I acquired this piece recently, although it doesn't actually fit me very well. It's just so gorgeous! I had to share. I'll probably end up passing it on but, for now .... :wow22:

i recently acquired a 1920s beaded gown from french couture house Philippe et Gaston (it has the original label). It’s a beautiful work of art ( in my eyes) and am having a heck of a time finding out much about the dress or designers on line other then what’s on Wikipedia. I did find a picture...

Hey all! Wanted to share my vintage Paraphernalia mini dress before it finds a new home (deleted by Admin). This was my mother's, purchased in Provincetown in the late 60s. Mott was an early designer at the boutique, along with Betsey Johnson.

This is really a follow up to a post from a few weeks ago, seeking advice about restoring the wicker work panniers on a 1920s dress. I am feeling pleased with myself for working out how to do this. The panniers on this wedding dress are some kind of wicker work and were crumpled. I discovered...

Rochester NY had a great store "back in the day" named Edwards & Sons. It closed in 1972. Sad because it was a favorite in our family. I still have mom's "metal charge plate" somewhere in a box!! This dress was sold from that store in the late 1960s. When I found it in an estate, the...

I have this dress that I purchased in October of last year at a DAV thrift store. It was in their Halloween section and looked like a sad shell of something that was once grand. I had to rescue it. I have no way of finding out what it used to look like so I was hoping these forums may be a...

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...

I bought this lovely dress from the original owner this weekend. After bringing it home and discovering tags in the side as I unzipped it to put it on my mannequin, I went back to the sale to find out how she came to have it. She bought it new at Neiman Marcus in Dallas. Her aunt worked there...

Hi! I'm having a hard time figuring out the designer of this piece, found in a vintage shop in Brooklyn, the shop's cashier said she thought it was vintage Emilio Pucci...but I've been doing some searching and I'm not so sure! Any help would be appreciated! Thank you! Details - Cut tag, no...

Hi Everyone, I hope you are enjoying the holiday season so far. I found 2 interesting pieces recently with which I need your gracious assistance. Is this 1940s or 1950s? The belt is missing, do you think it would have been grey satin to match the collar or black? What would you call that...

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

I thought I would share this nearly flawless 1940s Emma Domb formal...my NEW fave!
