I never thought that a dry cleaner would steal a label!

Liked it so much that I kept reading on down the page, and proceeded to your 'older posts'. And then onto a stroll at etsy...

I'm naive, must be, am shocked at the thought of dry cleaners stealing labels. Sellers switching labels I have seen and it just makes me angry enough to spit. Great post, thank you.

Great post, Hollis--looking forward to Part II!

And I, too, am agog at the idea of label theft at the cleaners...

Sigh...

I just bought a dress on ebay listed as 40s which now I've got it, I'm fairly sure is early 60s. D'oh! I always kick myself for believing they know what they're talking about.

I'm looking forward to Part II as well.

Hollis,
great minds think alike. I'm currently pitching an article to several of the fashion magazines on how to protect yourself when shopping for vintage. Excellent blog post. I'll reference it on my blog.
