I recently purchased a late 50's/early 60's Norman Norell suit. However, the more research I do, I never find any Norell items with such elaborate buttons. Has anyone else seen a Norell with buttons like these?

I recently was fortunate enough to find a couple of gorgeous Davidow suits at an estate sale in southern California. I'm having difficulty dating them. One looks like the stitching may be earlier than the other. One has 3/4 sleeves, the other is full length. The skirts are about the same length...

Hello! I was gifted a collection from a client’s estate in the early 2000’s. It spanned many decades and included some newer Escada, Sue Wong and English branded lingerie but it was mostly Vintage - Krizia, David Hays, Victor Costa, wool skirts, cashmere sweaters, silk blouses and one...

Just found this fabulous Dior suit, and I'm looking for help dating it. It is black wool and lined, with a high collar (collar is padded in the front above the top button so it sits high), and padded hips with structured pockets. The skirt is long and straight, with 2 pockets on the hips...

I am incredibly lucky to have been given some of my husband's grandmother's clothing. She was very "fortunate" and her things are beautiful. These three suits were in my closet for years before I learned about Gilbert Adrian (and promptly freaked out lol)! I would love some help confirming...

I'd love to hear your thoughts about these two skirt suits I have. One I found at a mid-century specific vintage shop last week, but given how it was priced much much lower than much of the true vintage there, I don't think the sellers knew quite what it was, and this is the only label in it...

I found a skirt suit at a thrift store today with this label in it: Based on the scant results that Google gives me, it seems to be late 40s-early 50s because the brand advertised in a few papers in the midwestern US. Has anyone else seen this before or know anything more about it? Oh...

Good morning Forum! This is an amazing site .... I came here for information on a label and just got lost in the forum for an hour!! Fabulous. I happened upon this suit at a local Thrift Store. It was a fabulous price because there is slight fading/discoloration on the upper left shoulder. I...

Hi all! It’s my first time posting here. I checked out the Pierre Cardin label resource but no luck. I found an amazing pink ladies suit (skirt) and need help with the label since I haven’t seen this one. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hello :) Any information about this item would be much appreciated! Thank you for paying it forward!

Hello, I have a vintage dress suit with the label Nathan Strong, so its a high end item. The problem is I don't know what type of fur surrounds the collar. It's brown, short,very dense and if you look at the bottom of the fur it's whitish. Can anyone help me? Thank you so much! Sincerely, Joanne

I recently treated myself to the purchase of one of the iconic Bill Gibb leather outfits; the skirt and jacket. (It cost a fortune so don't torment yourself with the idea I snapped up a bargain) However I am wondering how to care for it. Should I treat the leather with anything? Is it best...

I found this 1960s wiggle suit with this label. I am thinking this was a shop in Canada. Only from a Pin on Pinterest. Does anyone recognize the label or know of the shop? A true Tailor shop or just a play on words for off the rack? Thanks for any help. Sandy

I just found my first Lilli Ann suit today at a flea market and I'm wondering what decade it's from. To me it looks like a 1950s suit however in the label database, this label is from an early 1960s coat. There is also a union label inside that was used from 1933-1964 so this doesn't really...

Hello All, I am so happy to be apart of this lovely group! This is my first post. I just acquired this lovely Lilli Ann Suit. I looked in your Label resource an it is telling me it is from around 1946. Did Adoldph Schuman make Lilli Ann Suits in 1934 ? This suit seems older than 1946. Best Regards

I bought a suit 4 years ago with the label Clarewood of London, and researched it extensively, it was very hard to find any information and it seems the label is very rare. but the information i found was that this was from a collaborative collection with Nina Ricci. There isn't anything that...

I was surprised to not find Albert Nipon label in the resource. Does anyone know the Albert Nipon with suits on the label? Most likely 1980s? Thanks. Sandy

here is the label. label resource shows same label on early 60's garment. Is dating on this suit 60s?
