Really needing helping dating 2 items both tags have been removed and i am stumped.

[LousyLoversVintage]

1st item: wool tweed womens 2 peice blazer and pencil skirt. I think this is late 1950s. No opening in skirt for easier walking and its a side metal zipper. Tags have been cut out! UGH i have been losing my mind

No pockets that are usable in jacket .4 flap pockets



2nd item

A sequin lace and pearl with hanging faux pearls crop top.
I believe it to be 50s or 60s. It snaps up the back. And isnt in great condition. There are these strings with metal clasps on the inside of the shoulder area that look like it would attach to a dress strap if you were wearing it.

I cant find any information online about this type of shrug or top or 2 piece item .

The blouse looks like part of a two-piece set, a cocktail dress from the mid-60s. It would go over a simple sheath dress. The snaps in the shoulder are for bra straps - to keep from sliding down your shoulders!

Ah yes! This is exactly what i thought that would be part of. I imagined it would be part of a 2 piece set containing a sheath dress. Thank you. Maybe one day ill find its match! Thank you

The tags were probably cut out because the store or manufacturer sent it to a resale shop.
If the the blouse had a dress, the top would have been a slip top. It might have had a skirt.

Thank you! Still trying to figure out what era. I cant find anything that looks like it on any reselling site or historical fashion website

I think I see 60s in the wool suit, also it looks to be a boucle fabric (unless it is very snagged?) the sequin top I can see 50s/60s, but can’t be more accurate than that and both are still guesses. Hopefully some experts will chime in with more solid dating for you.

I agree with what has been said about the sequinned top - 60s, and to go over a long sheath dress. The suit makes me think 60s as well.

 

[LousyLoversVintage]

Thank you for all your time! I appreciate any input. I was thinking the same thing about the garments.

Hi i really cant tell if it boucle or wool weed. My insinct from looking at it is that its a very pulled snagged wool tweed with alot of frays.....the boucle fabric i think looks different from the jacket. Ill send a close up photo.

It's not boucle. It's a loosely woven fabric with yarns of varying thicknesses. The loose weave would make it prone to snagging.

Would i just refer to this as a wool blazer and skirt?. Not tweed wool? Are you thinking this is 60s as well?

Another vote for 60s on both and agree that the top would have gone over a dress

I can't tell you if the fabric is wool (meaning the fibre from a sheep). You would need to do a burn test to be certain (or be experienced enough to know wool by feel - and not everyone has this skill, even if very experienced).

It looks like it might be wool, but photos can be deceptive. It could even contain some mohair (goat), looking at the longer hairs that give it some 'fuzziness'. But it could be a synthetic fibre, or a blend of synthetic and natural fibres. It's possible that each strand is different, eg the thicker white strands are wool and the black strands are synthetic, as fabrics are sometimes woven like that.

You could call it tweed. It's not exactly a classic tweed, but it has a certain 'tweediness'. However tweed usually refers to 100% wool fabric.

If you aren't certain what the fabric content is, best to be completely upfront about that if you are selling it.

Yes 60s does seem right.
