Hi all!

I'm doing a little reproduction project of some Hollywood glamour era peignoir sets and dressing gowns. Was wondering if anyone here has any beautiful, dreamy sleep/dressing garment references from film.

Thinking of this Barbara Stanwyck set in Sorry, Wrong Number (1948). It's super cute, even though I think the high neckline would drive me insane lol.

Some more of my brooch collection.
Rhinestone bow tie (1960s)
Weiss strawberry (1960s)
Juliana D&E purple rhinestone flower spray (1950s-1960s)
Heidi Daus Pleasing Pansy collection (2010s)- is a set, the other is on my jacket and has the prettiest periwinkle!

Would love any thoughts!

I have been trying to get this stain out. I tried hydrogen peroxide alone and with dish soap on the front by the moose, the stain is still the same. I can try it on the sleeves, if anyone has advice on how to better use it, that would help. I'm not sure what kind of stain this is and it has been frustrating. I don't want to take my clothes to a dry cleaner, since it is expensive. Do you think that biz powder detergent or shout stain remover would work better? I have heard that it is good on vintage clothes. Any other suggestions? Also, I have heard that oxiclean and bleach are not good.

This is a 1974 Avon Queen Anne's Lace necklace that belonged to my great-grandmother. It seems a shame to let it collect dust in a jewelry box. I'm really not sure what I could pair it with tough.

I have a collection of antique Syrian and Palestinian garments and I'm wondering the best way to store them? Currently the oldest pieces are folded in clean cotton pillowcases and put in a box with a few holes in so they can breathe. Unfortunately I have to fold them as I don't have floor space for full length garment boxes. I also can't put them in a wardrobe as I fear moths may get at them. Is this an okay solution or does anyone else have any ideas ?

What do you think of the fit? I'm afraid the sleeves are a bit too short, but I think a size up would make everything else too big, especially the shoulders even though they are padded.

Purchased this shirt on eBay a few weeks ago. It was advertised as being from the 1970s. After looking at it and wearing it, it most definitely feels like the 70s. I am brand new to finding and wearing vintage clothing, so I can’t pinpoint an exact year, but I guess mid to late 70s. Label was there at one point in time, but was removed. The material is very soft. All buttons intact, though when I sit it does like to pop open in the bust, and there isn’t much bust there to begin with. Pants are new, not vintage at all. Having trouble finding vintage pants that fit my body.

I got all 3 of these today at goodwill! All from the 1970s, although the 2nd one could be from the late 60s (Aladdin label)-- and 2nd and 3rd came with the original neck tie!! I also got two dresses from the 50s-early 60s but I tried them on at home and they appear to be too small (the waist is my size but the shoulders are way too thin, they're more of a XS/XXS or a size 0/2 than a S), so I am going to see if I can trade them in somewhere for items that do fit me 👀 I wish more thrifts these days had dressing rooms. It's truly a tragedy

Definitely keeping all 3 of these tops though!

EDITE::: I thrifted a slip dress to go underneath it, thank you guys for the advice:))) Just bought this gorgeous vintage vanity fair dress that’s more of a house/lingerie dress but it’s a beautiful nylon cotton blend so I want to find a way to add a top and skirt liner to it so I can wear it out. I’m still a bit new to altering pre made clothes and I want to make sure I correctly add the lining without ruining the integrity of the dress. If you have any tips/advice/tutorials for this please dm me!!
Here’s the dress for reference:

Not the best outfit ensemble, but was really excited about the jacket and this is what I had on. 😅

Trenchcoat is London Fog, I got it at an estate sale. The dress I got a few days ago at a market! Both from the 70s. The Clarks are from 2014 , I got them secondhand off eBay, I've not been able to secure a cool pair of vintage boots in my size (women's 5.5/6, they're either overpriced or not my style). And my cat photo bombing.

I recently came into a vintage Celine pig leather suede coat. The condition is pretty poor with fading and the lining needs to be restitched. It also looks like someone tried to clean it previously and failed. Is it worth trying to get is refurbished or is it a lost cause? Help!!

Hi !-! I’m just new here , May I ask for some advice? 🥺

I have a pair of vintage military trousers with a wax coating, and I tried washing them with laundry detergent and fabric softener. Unfortunately, the results were terrible. White stains appeared all over the trousers.

I then tried soaking them in very hot water to remove the wax, but the white stains are still there.

Is there any way to remove the wax completely and get rid of these white stains? I’d really appreciate any advice! 🙏

Thinking about buying this vintage Boss blazer on Vinted but can’t try it on.
I’m 190 cm, 95 kg, and the guy in the photos is 186 cm. The measurements are:
Length: 83 cm
Pit to pit: 60 cm
Sleeves: 65 cm
It also has a Fox Flannel label inside.
Anyone familiar with these older Boss blazers? How do they usually fit, and do you think size 54 would work for me? Mainly wondering about the overall fit and shoulder width.

I was gifted this vintage Whting and Davis gold sequin halter top that I believe is from the 70’s. I want to wear it on Halloween, leaning into disco glam.

I plan to do sparkly glam makeup and style my hair in the classic 70’s curls. I’m struggling with what else to wear with this top though (pants and jacket).

I don’t need suggestions on what specific garments to get (I plan to sew or thrift everything else) I just need help with what style (colour, cut, etc).

Thank you!

Six Ivy and trad-inspired combinations. Cricket knits and Fair Isle vests sit between white button-downs and jackets. Brown tweed, a navy double-breasted blazer and olive outer layers give the patterned knits different backgrounds. The final pair is a padded vest and a plain sweatshirt.

I’m going to a Fab Four show soon (The Beatles tribute band) and they are performing a special show just for A Hard Day’s Night era. I want my outfit to match closest to what was worn by beatlemania girls in 1964, and this is what I got together. I thought the dress shirt underneath the dress seemed fitting enough, but I really don’t know much about fashion from this era. Anyone know a good lot about 60’s fashion that can help me out here? I’m taking all feedback!

If you are into 80’s and 90’s fashion you probably know these shoes. Soft black suede, stainless steel heels. From two iconic movies of the period; Single White Female and Body Double. I purchased them new and was going to sell them but my movers stole them last month. Nice.

Made by Charles Jourdan in Paris, originally $300 when I bought them on sale. Loved them so bought two pairs; Brown and gold and Black with silver.
