Summer is in full swing, and here in my corner of the world, that means shorts time! I've loved wearing shorts ever since I was a little girl and we were not allowed to wear...
I spent the morning organizing my box of vintage trims. In doing so I ran across these two orphaned labels from the 1940s or 50s. I put them in my stack of things to file away...
Every once in a while someone will post on some of the vinage chat boards that I read asking the question, "When did you discover vintage clothing?" I love reading these,...
I pulled this peachy little dress from the Goodwill Clearance bins yesterday. Even though I've yet to find my couture Dior dress, I do find loads of fantastic vintage...
It's official; Memorial Day is here and so now you may wear white shoes, sandals, patent leather or any of the winter fashion don'ts. And if you have no idea what I'm talking...
Back in February I posted a photo from the early 1930s of a group of campers from Camp Dellwood. Since then I've heard from three people who attended or worked at the...
Several days ago I got an email from Arthur Massey, who during the 1960s and 70s, photographed the collections of Bernat Klein. While not especially well known here in...
One of the best things about having an on-line presence is that it helps one connect with others with like interests. Through my website and the VFG Label Resource, I've...
These two photos came from the same batch from an estate in Chattanooga, TN. Judging by these and the others in the lot, the date is early to mid 1920s. ...
This one is the real deal, and it's a bit unusual. Most Vested Gentress pieces are screen printed on a white cotton/poly poplin, though you also see the same fabric in...
When I first posted about this new book way back in March, I had not seen it. But a couple of weeks ago I received a copy and ever since my nose has been stuck in its...
Scandal, as in Scandal Suit, the earth-shattering 1964 design by Margit Fellegi for Cole of California. At the time, Lycra was still new, and it was the development of...
I've said this before, but maybe now is the right time for repetition. I do not play golf. My husband adores the game, but I've just never warmed to it. I do,...
If you know Vested Gentress, them you have undoubtedly seen this, one of the most fanciful of the VG designs. I've seen it called the Gingham Horse, because of the...

When I spied this quilt in a local thrift store some time back, I was going through one of those "I've got too much stuff" modes. Had I been in a "Must buy vintage...
I've sort of let eBay fall off my radar lately. I haven't had, or maybe I just haven't taken the time to do my regular searches. Being a sportswear collector, my...

How I'd love to say that the graphics in this post are mine! But, no, they belong to collector David Levine, who has posted much of his collection of travel brochures...
