[Monika Crouse]

I bought this fab cape, but there is no label anything i can guess what era is it from, if even vintage...

Thank you Mary, i did actually read all of those

Hi, all three pieces look 70s to me!

 

[Monika Crouse]

That is what i thought, the first dress, is it wedding dress? i never saw one like this

Snap, I have that cape! Mine has slightly more colour I think and glittery threads running through it. I shall have to go and get pictures now...
perhaps you'd like to check out some of the links on page Mary suggested, in particular the timeline and union label links would help you date your garments.

Dress 1 is just a party dress, they liked those sheer capes in the 70s. Could possibly be a prom type dress, but my feeling is not wedding dress.

 

[Monika Crouse]

Pinkcoke I really read all the links, im still kinda confused by the Union labels, i feel every label looks different. Im usually right, but im never sure.

Tabbyannabel thank you so much

Dress 1 , late 70s, say 1978. That sheer poncho like layer was popular then.

I have heard the sheer over layer called a float. Sometimes they are separate, sometimes attached. Definitely 1970's.
