dating dressing gown/house coat

[cooltriker]

please let my apologies in advance as i know i am going to be a pain in the butt over the next few weeks with dating items....to cut a very long story short.....i had ( bought)about 27 black bags of vintage clothes.....and mostly big sizes yipppeeeeee

i have just bought this house coat home....from the unit ...so do you recognise the label ? and what date do you think ?

i have had to pin the label as it was all crinkled lol.... on the end of the label it says british made.....

looks perhaps to be late 40's..............

 

[vintageclothesline]

I agree with the date. Very pretty...

thanks peeps.....when did they start ..stopping using the utility label ...?

Twenty-seven bags of vintage - wow. I was going to say early 50's... so close enough. I'm not sure what you mean by the "utility label." Fabric care instructions began to appear in the 1960s I believe.

hi.... amandainvermont............

yep all vintage..... i have old clothes all over the flor of my unit at the mo...lol.....

will have to inverst in more rails....... and really.... and i mean REALLY get my butt into gear an start listing more items on ebay.....

i just wish there was a bigger market where i live... for vintage clothing.... as i could have 'open' days in my unit.....i am way this weekend and the following weekend at bike rallies ..so will be slightly drunk watching live bands in a field somewhere.... but after that...it will be head down and away to go... on the old ebay listings.....

It looks 1940s to me too, perhaps more the mid 40s though.

 

[hatfeathers]

Wow, that's gonna look smashing all steamed out.
The name almost looks French or Italian to me, nothing that I've ever heard of, though.

Congrats on the haul!

thanks......hopefully there will be a lot more coming my way.....

why i was asking about the utility label was.....i automatically presumed all clothing made between 1941/2 to the late 40's had to have a utility label....and stick to the certain government guide lines......so this is where i get a bit confused with dating things ...lol....

i really wish i lived closer to some of you guys...... so i could let you rumage through the black bags....i just didnt know what bag to open first....the lady must have been a very smart woman, and took great pride in her clothes..... afterwards i was thinking what ever happened to her shoes and handbags.....i hope they didnt end up in the tip.. like these bags nearly did.......
