My Name is Sylvia. Recently came across vintage lingerie. I have come across Olga Full sweep nightgowns and I'm wondering about the hem stitching. I've come across different stitching for the hems and I'm curious to know if there are different hem stitches used. Or, what does the actual hem stitch look like. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think I found the right spot for a introduction. Yay!!
Anyways.....they call me Rico....I like long walks in the park, the color blue and the smell of super glue on a hot muggy day! Lol...I'm just kidding.
I have always had a fascination for old things. I think "if this item could only talk....the tales it could tell." Where it's been, the things it has seen.....so....I have to fill in those blanks myself as best I can with research and a little imagination. Plus....alot of cool stuff from back in the day. I am looking forward to reading the stories and seeing others items.
Thank you for allowing me to be a part of this group!!
 
Hi - I love vintage clothing and making Victorian dresses from recycled fabrics.

I recently acquired a fascinating vintage dress that I believe is from the 1960s. It feels like paper all the way through but is machine-stitched and features detailed tie-dye and embroidery, which seems unusual for a paper dress. It has no tags or labels, so I’m having trouble identifying it.

I’ve done some research and couldn’t find anything similar on Etsy or eBay. It might be an experimental or high-fashion interpretation of the 1960s paper dress trend, possibly inspired by African-style designs.

Does anyone recognize this style or have any insight into similar pieces? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Hi, It's Louise (formerly of Catwalk Creative Vintage). Remember me? I'm still connected to several VFG members via various social media platforms.

I was a fully registered business member of the VFG several years ago but am no longer in the trade. However, my love of vintage fashion has never left me, and I still visit vintage fairs and buy items for my collection. I might sell the odd piece from time to time.

I recently bought a Jean Varon evening dress for my daughter and posted the label in the resource section today! The VFG label resource is an outstanding reference, and I check it occasionally if I find a label of interest in my travels.

Lots of love and a big HELLO to anyone from the VFG that remembers me... and to everyone else too!

This is the message I get - If you change your email, you may need to reconfirm your account.

Can you help with this please? Sorry for the inconvenience.
