Givenchy Dates and Couture numbers.

Hi everyone. I’m brand new to this site so I’m hoping to get some help on a few things. To quickly introduce myself, my names Leah and I love Givenchy. Though, I know very little regarding couture numbers. I personally find Givenchy couture numbers very difficult to navigate as well as finding any photos of old lines. I have quite a few pieces that either A.) don’t have a couture number due to alterations, sewn down tags, etc. or B.) I don’t know how to date pieces with just couture numbers. I was hoping to have some help dating pieces that do not have numbers on them. It’s pretty easy to know “circa (within ten years of the piece) but I was hoping to have an exact year. Or possibly a photo, I mean who doesn’t. But I’ve done extensive research through photos that exist on the internet, and I’ve never found anything regarding a single piece I own. I love posting my pieces on my instagram. But here are just a few I’d like some help with. Anything would be appreciated:)

The only people I know who could definitely help are the fashion houses themselves who have retained their historic files and sketches,, but they generally don't have staff looking after the archives and able to answer questions for the general public. Some houses don't even have their files anymore - Fath and Gres, for example, were scattered to the wind via auctions. Chanel, Dior, YSL, Valentino, and Givenchy have archives, but likely nobody who could help unless it was a legal issue.
