Given my misadventures with a few items lately, here are a couple more things I'm uncertain about and hope to get some clarity on.
The jacket is interesting, it has a puffy shiny sort of brocade pattern that imitates reptile leather. I see it as 60s, but it has no labels and I've never been quite sure. The buttons are hollow brass domes.
The blouse, I recall someone questioning when I posted it here before. It is a synthetic plisse, and the sewing thread is also synthetic (based on burn tests). The dolman sleeves, nipped waist, cropped length, the neckline, the pointed fronts, are all elements I see in 40s/50s patterns but of course as I'm learning those were repeated later. It is handmade and has zig-zag and straight machine sewing and the hem is hand-sewn.
The vest, we have established is newer but I'm hoping someone might be able to point me to a general timeframe. Someone mentioned 90s/Y2K, is that right? It is handmade, no labels.
I can post more photos if needed.
Thanks in advance, continuing the journey of learning....
