?\'s Ed Behan tweed suit and tartan oriental dress

Hi All,

For the most part I've been a fly on the wall here the last little while. I am getting organized though (found that darn sash!) and I'm gearing up to list next weekend and of course I have questions.

The Ed Behan (too big for manny) kinda looks midi 60ish, but the suede-like fabric and the loose nubby weave makes me think 70s. I've researched the name, but have come up empty handed thus far. Skirt has a nylon side zipper and there is an original price tag of $540.00. What say you?

Plaid dress (too small for manny), oriental style with an old metal side zip, stiff mandarin collar etc. Would I be safe with late 50s, early 60s? And what do you call that type of wool - it's warm and fuzzy on the outside and smooth and plain on the inside - looks and feels expensive.

Many thanks!

Hi Deborah,

The suit looks 60s to me and the dress as well early 60s.

Nice fall items, good luck with the listings.

Thanks, Mary Jane.

Ooh, lovely pictures! The plaid dress should do well, all the rage apparently :D

Thanks, Harriet. I've been shooting at night with spots and I'm getting better results; so I'm pleased you commented.

Definitely looks very good. How have you got them arranged? (shooting at night out of school holiday necessity at the moment so would be glad of the tips!)

I have two spots and that's it. :( Need more!

Hi Harriet - I use my overhead chandelier and two spots and above is the results. I read the camera workshop (well most of it and I eventually will read all - it's FABULOUS!) and there is an example (pastperfect's if my memory serves me well) and an explanation of where the spots were placed. I'll search tomorrow as I'm off to a rehearsal in a few minutes.
