Another BIBA question ... how to prove something is BIBA when the labels have been removed...

[Impey]

Hi all

I’ve had the good fortune to be given a number of BIBA 1970s dresses to sell on behalf of the original owner. Unfortunately she has removed the label in two, and I wondered whether I can ‘prove’ they are BIBA.

I've no reason to doubt her, and the other dress and coat she has given me both have the woven BIBA labels. Is there anywhere I might be able to find proof of the dresses provenance?

happy to post pictures of that would help - they are very beautiful!

with thanks

Can you find them illustrated in any of the catalogues? https://ca.search.yahoo.com/yhs/sea...8B0G1DwWDyPkHyg-d8zl90P5WAi1AReJ2-XZh1rkDsMV3

Photos below - I be managed to identify one (a brown regency dress) online - but any help with this lovely velvet beauty would be much appreciated!

Oh it worked for me, maybe because i'm in the uk, or maybe Jonathon fixed it. Fab looking through the links...
