Hi,guys! Recently found this Christian Lacroix knitted dress, maybe you can tell which year it was made and if its documented? Thanks a lot!

I was about to list this Perry Ellis skirt and looked up the label--It's not in the VFG label resource (happy to add it upon confirmation of my suspicions). It is unlike any Perry Ellis Portfolio labels I've ever seen. A cursory Google search says he established an earlier PORTFOLIO label while...

I purchased this coat at a thrift store and have researched everywhere to try to find one similar to see how old it is with no luck. The label says it is made of Dacron which tells me around 1954 but all the pics I see of those in that time frame have buttons and a belt, not snaps and no belt...

I haven't seen this Escada label before and I was wondering if it was familiar to anyone/if anyone knew what decade it was from? It's very similar to the Escada Elements label... but the shirt feels slightly more modern. I attached images of the labels and the shirt itself. Thanks in advance!!

Hi all!! I just got this insanely good Norman Hartnell day dress, and I’m not sure how old it is? The style tells me 40s but the back zipper makes me think it’s newer? Any help would be much appreciated! Also it may need a clean; would it survive a drycleaning? Or is it best to leave it be?

I believe that this jacket and dress date from the 1970s. I looked at the label reference and could not find a matching label. I look forward to opinions. The jacket has a sophisticatedbraid trim on the front with a half belt at the back while the zippers for the dress are very complex. There...

Have a cute 1970s DVF wrap dress in floral rayon/cotton. But it is sleeveless. Anyone know if she designed sleeveless wrap dresses back then? Or was this maybe altered? I did find a photo of her wearing a a dress with the same print, but different style. So at least I have the decade right...

These shoes have really confused me. They look older yet I'm wondering if they are more modern due to a few things. They are made of black velvet with iridescent beading. The heels are nailed on but the rest of the sole is glued. No labels are marking of any kind. Any help would be appreciated!

Hello, I got these two Pendleton coats at an estate sale. The woman was petite and had many items from the 80s. I don't know much more about her than what I saw in her closet. Initially, they looked 80s to me, but upon further research, I'm not so sure. The 1st is a grey tweed blazer that came...

I have a trio of costume jewelry brooches that I believe are paste stones set in pot metal (the silver/blue), and brass (gold/purple and maybe also the gold/green). The gold/green has a C-clasp, the gold/purple has a different sort of safety clasp than I've seen before, with the tiny tabs that...
