Hello All - This Vera Wang wedding dress was displayed in the Vera Wang window at the Carlyle Hotel in August 1990, for the opening of her flagship store. While technically Vera designed it as a wedding dress, because of its length, my mother actually wore it for my wedding as a...

hello! So happy to have found fascination in vintage buddies! I have this gorgeous wedding dress- any idea what to do with it! Won't wear it again- sell ( where?) repurpose- something else? thanks so much! Carmen

Hello everyone. I’m trying to date my wedding dress found in a sweet vintage shop in Vancouver BC. Love to hear your thoughts.

Hi everyone! I'm so grateful this community exists and I'm hoping you can help me date a Priscilla of Boston dress. This is a dress that's part of the Teeny line. I've seen two different Teeny labels and generally those dresses are dated 60s or 70s. I want to confirm the era for this dress and...

Hi everyone, I am new to this forum (completely clueless about fashion) and I was wondering if anyone could help me identify in what decade (maybe year ?) this wedding dress designed by Lorrie Deb has been made please? From the label I can see that it has been made between 1974 and 1995, but I...

Recently got this dress. I tried to get one picture of the entire thing but it was simply too long. The train is easily 5/6 feet long. Button closures all down the back with a zipper at the bottom. There are also two metal clasps at the top of the neck. Veil is very long and attached to pearl...

Can anyone help me figure out the era of this wedding dress? 1950s? It has no label, it's hand-sewn (with store-bought dress liners.) I think it's real satin. It has a very long train that I couldn't fully capture. I would like to sell it and put some funds towards my own wedding but it has...

How do you go about pricing, shipping and selling a vintage William Cahill wedding dress to vintage fashion stores? I bought this lovely dress and it unfortunately does not fit me. I would like to see it go to a good home, but do not want to just sell one item on ebay, etc. I have never sold a...

Hi, I'm wondering if this wedding dress is a Domb. I've seen this label before, but it usually has "by Domb" on the label. Any ideas ? Thanks !!

I came across this wedding dress in a thrift store recently. The fabric is a very thick and heavy satin (?) and appears to have been made by hand (or perhaps homemade is the better word for it). It is nearly flawless, despite its assumed age and I am hoping that someone may be able to shed some...

I'm having a difficult time dating this due to some of the dress details. The older women in my life think it's before 1950s, but it's Lorrie Deb, which began in 1950s I believe. Thoughts, anyone?

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...

I just came across this gorgeous handmade wedding dress and would love to know the approximate date. I received it for a very kind lady at a flee market how just want to go to a good home. so I don't have any details about its past. I tries to take as many pictures that I could think of, but if...

Thrifting today and I stumbled across this amazing wedding dress that I fell in love with. I'm not getting married but it's so much my style, looked pretty vintage AND my size... I had to try it on. Trying on led to purchasing because THIS beauty was 80% off (thank you thrift Gods) So I started...

Hi, I was hoping that maybe I could get help with my antique lace piece. At first I thought this was just a very long table runner, but now I'm thinking it may be a shawl. Would this have been worn by a bride? I was also wondering what type of lace and time period. Thank you so much for all of...

I was hoping someone on here could help me learn more about my grandmother Haydee Gonzalez. My mother passed away a couple of years ago and I remember all the amazing stories she would tell me about my grandmother and the beautiful dresses she designed, my mother wore nothing but in the 50's...
