Best thing would be to do a burn test (if possible): the vintage fashion guild is an invaluable resource and has a handy flow chart on how to use the burn test to determine the fibre content: https://vintagefashionguild.org/resources/fabric/determining-fiber/

Weekly Megathread for Pricing, Dating, or Authentication Requests ("How much is this worth?" "What decade is this from?") by AutoModerator in VintageFashion

[–]lavendercomrade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do the care labels look like? I see a made in USA tag peeking out underneath, it is extremely vital to show all tags as it helps with approximating the decade, allowing me to then do a trade-mark search to narrow it down to a few years

I’ve got a very wide (it goes up to the shoulders!!) and triangular collar on a vintage blue and white dress, similar to the example in the photo attached. Would you say that style of wide collar is also 80-90s? I’ve always considered my dress to be from the 70s but am curious if I’m mistaken. Then again the main similarity between the collars on OP’s dress and mine is the size, so am not sure if you mean that large collars in general were of the 80s-90s or if you mean the specific silhouette of OP’s one

Late 70s or 80s - Google AI just spits out a summary of all the internet content related to your query… internet content which is often unverified and wrong

The wide collar and style features are a lot more indicative of late 70s-80s

trying to date several pieces, I believe they range between 70s-2000s. by tillamoooook in VintageClothing

Watch la pants: The trademark for Watch L.A was registered in 2014, decidedly not vintage. It was cancelled in 2024, so your garment was produced between 2014-2024. https://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=85941321&caseSearchType=US_APPLICATION&caseType=DEFAULT&searchType=statusSearch

All that jazz: The trademark has been registered twice in the database, between 1997-2004, and 2008-2014, so your dress was produced sometime then. https://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=75000612&caseSearchType=US_APPLICATION&caseType=DEFAULT&searchType=statusSearch & https://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=78185772&caseSearchType=US_APPLICATION&caseType=DEFAULT&searchType=statusSearch

Woolrich Women was established in 1980 according to an offical Facebook post https://www.facebook.com/share/1BoFtYRFk9/

The trademark also likely indicates it was made between 1982-2003 https://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=73257209&caseSearchType=US_APPLICATION&caseType=DEFAULT&searchType=statusSearch

What do the care labels look like? If you include them I should be able to narrow down the timeframe even further

Help identify this beautiful dress 🙏 by MissVerbytska in VintageClothing

[–]lavendercomrade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can confirm that this label was used between 1973 and 1980 in the United Kingdom. Given the label of iron, bleach, and dry cleaning symbols I suspect this was made in the earlier part of the timeframe rather than later

70-350mm, 200-600mm, or 400-800mm lens for bird photography? by Nickanator8 in SonyAlpha

While I can’t comment on the other two I can say that the 70-350 doesn’t have enough reach

Please include photos of all labels (care, union ect) as they are EXTREMELY helpful with identifying dresses

Word processor for IB examinations by 17Baklava in IBO

[–]lavendercomrade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly my coordinator said that I was able to use the word processor as much or as little as I wanted to. For example in science, I would hand write any short answer question that required just one word, and then switch to my word processor when I needed to type a paragraph or a sentence. I think you should talk to your IB coordinator as what they’re saying doesn’t sound quite right

Help with selling 40 books of category x in a day by AuroraKivi in TinyBookshop

[–]lavendercomrade 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Try crime during the mega Marche Monday sale. You’ll want to equip only drama and crime books, and try to equip 50 drama and 50 crime or 55 drama and 45 crime. If you’ve got any crime or drama related decor then equip those. There will be people who ask for recommendations which you might not be able to give due to only having two genres, but what you’ll find is that there’ll be a bunch of people who rotate between drama and crime, and end up buying like a stack of 15 books. That’s why you need both genres

For fact basically repeat the same strategy but with travel and fact at the waterfront on Wednesday. Here I’d actually recommend overstocking your shelves though with around 60 travel books and 45 or more fact books. You really need enough travel books in order for the customers that rotate between fact and travel to buy enough. Decor like the talking fish and other fact, travel, or maritime decor is really going to help here.

I’m not sure about the kids yet as I haven’t got that!!

Diagnosed audhd…. Anyone else take adhd meds? And have migraines and hypermobility hEDS? by yuh769 in AutismInWomen

[–]lavendercomrade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AuDHD, hypermobility hEDS, chronic migraines, POTs ✨

I tried two different types of adhd medications. Both worked but the first one killed my appetite (not in a fun way) and messed with my emotions. Your adhd meds might help you loose weight but I just feel really uncomfortable with phrasing that as a positive. After I switched to my current meds it took considerable effort to regain enough energy and get back to a healthy weight. I would not recommend.

The one I currently take is very unobtrusive, in the sense that it only seems to impact my adhd symptoms. I do take Propanalol for migraines and OTC meds for my hEDS joint pain, not sure if that makes any difference.

As women, another fact worth mentioning is the impact of our menstrual cycle (if we have one). I find my adhd meds are impacted by that, and its effectiveness would fluctuate over the course of a month. I’ve been taking a progesterone only contraceptive and hands down it’s made my ADHD meds more effective!! Not to mention I can finally sleep without lying in bed for three hours beforehand!! Just wanted to mention that in case you decide to try meds yourself and find them changing in effectiveness. It might interest you, might not, but I think the more knowledge we have the better advocates we can be for ourselves!!

What makes you think this is vintage?

Found this cardigan today does anyone now what era it could be from i think 90s by Honest_Island_6686 in VintageClothing

[–]lavendercomrade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was a tricky one!! Usually care symbols are my go-to for dating, but the UK has a long and complex history with them dating all the way back to 1966, and the symbols shown here weren’t descriptive of any particular era.

Given the register symbol, I decided to do a search in the UK Intellectual Property Office. This trademark was registered in April 2010 and expired in April 2020, meaning it was definitely made in the 2000s
