My grandmother graduated college for fashion and design back in the 60’s. She had her own dress shop in the late 60’s early 70’s. Today she gave me some things in a box and I came across the most odd skirt. It is long and had an adorable sequenced train on it. The sequenced white smoke has the...

I purchased an Emilio Pucci skirt from a reputable online consignment store. Unfortunately I think it may be counterfeit. Below are my concerns: The stitching is very sloppy. The thread varies from black, navy blue, to hot pink. The zipper stitching is particularly atrocious. The label appears...

Hi! I bought this vintage skirt and looking at the label I can't seem to identify the Era. Also looking at the lining, I thought it originally wasn't built with any and this one might have been stitched afterwards. I started to un stitch it but the hanging strap came off because it was stitched...

Hi VFG friends! I purchased a gorgeous hand painted skirt this weekend at an estate sale and am having a tough time researching it. Would love to hear any thoughts on the era, artist/designer, or any other insights that come to mind! Looking forward to hearing what y'all think. Thanks! -M

Hi VFG Community! Hoping y'all can help me identify a few specs on this crazy great skirt I've come into possession of. The label reads "De De Haute Couture Buenos Aires" and I'm curious to know a bit more about the designer, estimated production dates, fabric, and the specific terminology for...

hi y’all! I found this amazing silk skirt at the thrift store and to my surprise when I brought it home I realized it still has what I presume is the original tags on it. I can’t seem to find a similar Albert Nipon skirt online so I’m struggling to figure out what to do with this gem. Any idea...

Hi all, I have just found this skirt in my aunt’s old closet... It is a cream skirt (even though the label says “blanc/white”), with two pockets on each side and a zipper slightly to the left side and on the front of the skirt. On the lower back of the skirt there are three buttons right in the...

Hi Can anyone help me with giving me an idea on how old the skirt is. I tried referring to the article on the site on Burberry labels, but the pic of this one is not there. In fact there are a lot of labels missing in the article. Also wanted to know, the new burberry skirts wrap from right to...

Hi! This is the second Free People label I have found like this in over 8 years of thrifting and reselling vintage. I’ve been searching online but I can only find newer Free People labels online. I know that the company started in the 70s but took off in 1984. I attached the skirt and label, I...

Hello! Was wondering if anyone had more info on this skirt? Side zip with talon zipper. Mexican? Hand painted? Any info would be amazing. Thanks

Hi All, I've an early 70s GINORI/Bonwit Teller tennis skirt. The GINORI 180 label is on the belt. Does anyone have info about this company? There's an interesting description of GINORI PLAYERS on one eBay tennis dress listing but I couldn't find anything online about the GINORI 180 label...

Sometime in the last 10 years I bought the attached skirt and blouse to wear at a folk dance camp. It also came with a sash. I know very little about vintage clothing (although I love it), and knew nothing about Martha Reed. I thought the "Martha of Taos" label was just a home seamstress's...

Hello! I found some Victoria Secret Label threads but was unable to come to a conclusion. Maybe this forum can help. I sell clothes online and was given this skirt. Here are pictures of the skirt and label. I am new to reselling, I am not much of a thrifter, and I don't know much about vintage...

I found this really pretty 70s/80s woven maxi skirt today and I wanted some help with the label. The brand is "The Towner" and so far I have been unable to find any details about it. However, the label looks exactly like the labels for the brand "The Villager" (big sister company to Ladybug). Is...

A few days ago the print of a skirt caught my eye in a thrift shop. A quick ebay search revealed some nice comps (which turned out to be Norma Tullo pieces), so I took it home. My research has still turned up inconclusive. Is it a Norma Tullo? If so, why have so many ebay listings turned up in...

I got this stunning skirt but I know nothing about it other than it's a wool/mohair blend. Trying to authenticate. Can anyone help? TIA

Am I correct in dating this during the 50's?

I have a Lilli Ann skirt and I didn't recognize the label...can anyone help me date this item??

Hey all! I stumbled upon this site looking for answers to questions about a skirt I found on a thrifting spree. The skirt is a deep green color with scarlet stitching, brass buttons and a matching green/brass belt. I took some pictures - the tag on the back is pictured. It's beautiful in person...

Hi, Any ideas on the date of this pink floral linen Alfred Shaheen skirt? It has the name Shaheen on the front and along the inside seam (last photo). It says "Alfred Shaheen - Hand Printed In Hawaii." Thank you!

Hi y'all. I have a Christian LaCroix Bazar silk knit mini skirt. It's the orange bazar label. It's 90's (re the label) so that's why I'm at the cooler. It's got a weird abstract sity scene - multi colored, elastic waist. Kinda basic for LaCroix. It's dark & rainy here, so I don't...
