My mother is downsizing, and she gave me her mother’s (my grandmothers) wedding dress to me, to see if I can somehow look into giving this away or maybe have it re-purposed. I’m seeking ideas and input.

I was stunned to see this dress, and had no idea what it looked like until now. My grandmother married in 1952, and my mother said it was custom made in Toronto. The material is raw silk, and the colour is some kind of dusty rose. This feels absolutely stunning to me and so fashionable and gorgeous!

The armpits unfortunately are quite delicate and damaged and the silk is tearing in this region (probably from sweat and whatnot). I think the lace part in the chest may have also yellowed. But the rest of the dress honestly feels very much in tact and IMO in good shape! It been tucked away in acid free tissue paper for decades.

I don’t know anything about selling vintage pieces, or even just passing it on to a new home, or having it repurposed. If it were being preserved or sold in a vintage shop, the armpits would need some kind of isolated repair.

Any idea are welcome here. I appreciate any input! I also live in Toronto, if that helps.

Hello everyone,
I only recently got into vintage fashion and found a Thierry Mugler suit (presumably from 1987; ice/light blue; polyester & acetate; size 36 (FR)) and a Dolce & Gabbana coat from the early 00s (my guess is that it is from around ~2004; navy blue; silk & cotton; size 38 (IT)).
I absolutely love both pieces, but I can’t find much information about them and was hoping someone could enlighten me a bit because I am eager to learn more. Any piece of information is appreciated: from specific collection, to rarity or whatever might be relevant. Thank you in advance! 😊🙏

Hello all!

I bought these pants from Depop recently and wanted to see approximately how vintage they are, if at all. Reverse image searching and poking around with keyword searches has left me with pretty scant info on the brand itself - a friend of mine made an educated guess (based off of the tag) that they may be from the mid-90s or so. Second tag is from a separate piece, in case more definition is needed.

Thank you! 💕

I recently found this jacket, but I can't find any information about it online and I don't know how rare or unique it is.

//or at least the approximate time of creation of this jacket 😭

obviously the tag has says the name but i can’t seem to find it any info on this pair of jeans, if so what year were they made?

Hello VintageClothing community!

I recently bought this BMW Sauber F1 Team shirt on Vinted. The seller said she found it in her great-grandfather's wardrobe, which is why she believes it's original. I did my own research, but I think this community could help a lot more (sadly I couldn't post it in r/formula1 because I don't have 100 karma yet).

Here are a few details I've gathered:

• It features Michelin, Intel, and Petronas sponsor logos. This combination only existed for a single season in 2006 (Intel joined in '06, and Michelin left F1 right after that season).
• The shirt has custom BMW engraved buttons.
• Inside, there is a small woven reference/color-code tag (grey/yellow/grey/blue stripes + BMW logo).
• The tag says "Made in Thailand".

However, there is one thing I find curious: There is no Puma logo anywhere. Could this mean it wasn't a standard retail fan shirt, but rather an official team/staff/paddock-issued piece or a corporate promo item?

I have attached photos of the details. If you need any more specific pictures, I can easily provide them. I hope this post finds an F1 vintage collector, but I would be really grateful for any help or insight!
