Ps: Ash. It looks like Ash

Earlier this year I moved my sewing gear into our guest room. Ever since then I have been putting my personal touch on the room by hanging stuff on the walls. Stuff = vintage clothes/shoes. Makes me very happy to be in there.

bought a beautiful vintage sears dress, apparently 1960s maybe 1970s mini dress! I was wondering if anyone had or knew any information about this piece and if it’s truly vintage or not! 🙌

bought an older jacket, the cuffs and waistband have a bit of a greenish hue. smelled very much like mildew and wet dog.

cleaned the entire jacket and gave the cuffs + waistband specifically a vinegar bath after it all dried. the smell has been greatly reduced but still noticeable from up close. would like to know if there’s anything else to do to get treat the smell and maybe the color. thanks :)

Hi there!

I’m looking for vintage shops that have dresses in the following styles in London. I’m aware that these are couture dresses, just added this per illustration. I’m not looking for big brands, but was wondering if there are any markets / shops that sell dresses in this style.

I’ve searched on this forum and found the following shops/markets:

- Beyond Retro Dalston
- Storm in A teacup
- Nordic Poetry
- Y2K Vintage
- Hunky Dory Vintage
- Brick Lane Market
- Pennies Vintage
- Karen Vintage Boutique
- 282 Portobello Road
- Oliver Vintage
- Lime Green Bow
- Portobello Road Market (Saturdays)
- Lovers Lane

Are any of the aforementioned places any good for the type of dresses I am looking for? Any other recommendations?

Budget is around £150.

Thank you!

Hey!

I have these polyester 70s pants. fit fine everywhere else, but fabric really pools in stomach and waist, despite the fact their not big in those areas for me. ive had other people try them on w different measurements and same thing happens. has anyone else experienced this with this era of pants?

Symmetrical tears around the collar of my vintage mink fur coat. I just purchased this from a consignment store a couple weeks ago, and I haven’t had the chance to wear it yet. I’ve been storing it on a wide hangar. I’m not sure how it was stored prior to being in my possession. There doesn’t appear to be any other rips except these two.

I’m thinking of taking it to a furrier. But these years appear quite fragile, I’m wondering if it’s even worth it. I paid $370 for this, it was the coat of my dreams. any thoughts? Thank you

A beautiful find! I love how vintage prints mixed animal patterns with other designs. I'm an environmental educator so I love the white oak leaves. It's a little hard to see under my hair hit the neckline had a horizontal diagonal button. My mom hates this shirt and it's one of my favorites. 😊

This brand seems to be founded in the 1971. Not sure if it's the same company called Eccobay Sportsware that filed for a trademark in 1979. If anyone knows more history, I'd be cur
