Our first stop on this week-long train ride is the VFG Fabric Resource!

Got a mystery fabric? The Fabric Resource can assist you in identifying fabrics with three starting points: Fabric Looks Like, Fabric by Fiber (and its helpful companion, Determining Fiber), and Fabric by Use.

This is a brief introduction:

the Vintage Fashion Guild board is standing by with a $250 matching donation

Yes we are. The VFG is an all-volunteer organization, meaning no board member gets any sort of payment or salary - our donation to the VFG is personal. The money we raise through donations goes to pay some of the expenses involved in keeping the lights on.

Once basic expenses are covered, we look at ways to improve what we offer to the public and to our members (we have a modest wish list).
 
Today we are visiting the VFG's Fashion Timeline! A labor of love for many VFG members over the years, the fashion timeline explores characteristic fashion silhouettes and styles from 1800 to 2000. Many have improved their dating of vintage and antique clothing and accessories by comparing their items to those pictured.

Here you will find a collection of wedding attire dating from 1620 to 2000. Explore gowns, veils, and accessories—from the grandest of the grand to simple and sophisticated designs. Learn about historical trends and maybe even find inspiration for your own wedding look!

Just an FYI that link goes to Canva, not a donation site.
 
Today, the VFG Fundraiser Express takes a most delightful detour to the Vintage Fashion Guild's Lingerie Resource!!

If you have ever wondered what makes a peignoir a peignoir, or struggled to date an antique corset, you will find the help you need in the Lingerie Resource.

Do you appreciate and use the VFG's resources? Then please support our mission with a donation to keep our work on track. Visit bit.ly/vintagefashionguild to donate. Thank you!!
