Frequently Asked Questions ...

If the objects are sold in the U.S. still marked Made in Taiwan? this refers to a dollhouse miniature?

Label has a symbol S t as well say, Made in Taiwan and I am trying to check vintage woven on the.



Answer:

While most things in China now imported manufactured I do not know if you are in a position that allows the release only of her age are in Taiwan, I suspect that things are still made from imported there. Doll house miniatures was a big deal in the late 70's - early 80's, but I do not think things have made it more value than what is done now. Most of the dollhouse tag Made in the 60's and earlier, children were dolls' houses made and some go pretty high, made mainly by Renwal. Most things made in the 1960's and earlier, Japan would be highlighted. I have only to Taiwan in the dollhouse miniature category of ebay and I saw that Hello Dolly stuff was done there ... I remember that from the 80's, you can search and see if You listed your items.

shapewear fifties and sixties is in the news again, partly because of the television series Mad Men. Actresses original gift for years Sixty-pull on girdles to achieve these figures shapely women enjoyed displaying throughout the fifties until the call came for them "burning their bras and releases! Now, these modes are back with a vengeance.

Some people collect vintage shapewear for purely the pleasure of owning a collection of vintage fashion history, others buy to wear and still others buy as an investment. Unlike modern retro copies, there are a variety of traps to negotiate if you enter the field of vintage belt and braces for the first time. The first question I am often asked why someone should buy lingerie fifties when there is already such a choice Modern lingerie available. The detail and hand finishing on bras fifty satin and exquisite bullet art deco inspired seams fifty long line girdles must be seen to be believed. It would be impossible for modern garments, which is mass produced to approach this level of performance, without costs a small fortune.

The following tips should give you the background you need when you start your own collection of vintage lingerie.

Sizes: size specification has changed considerably over the years - you should be aware that the modern cut of 12 will be significantly larger than size 12 from the fifties, and calibration is also varies by country - U.S. size 12 could be a UK size 16!

Materials: It was rubber gave shapewear vintage stretch characteristics. The modern equivalents are Lycra and spandex. Unfortunately latex vintage lingerie container is particularly susceptible to deterioration over time, even if the clothes were not stored in controlled temperature conditions. If you pull on a belt and it remains tense, so it will not be portable and will certainly not be an element of non-collection more! Quarantine from some manufacturers have used some form of foam rubber padding in their corsets and bodices (actually a bustier and belt together in a one garment). Frequently such vintage shapewear has not stood the test of time - the rubber foam is often harsh and uncompromising rock, or worse, falls into a gritty powder.

All reputation vintage lingerie stores online will verify and describe the state of the fabric, but you do not need to be especially careful if you use an online auction site at the source of your garments. Garter clips this time used a metal frame with a foam rubber tab. Very often, a belt of beautiful fifties is made less desirable by the hardening tab rubber - first tries to open the clip garter tab cracks and crumbles. Of course, if you are very handy with a needle and thread, it is possible to replace the garter tabs, and the resulting garment is always a pleasure to wear, but less attractive to the collector purist for whom the state of origin and the construction is very important.

Status: The closer the state of the garment "Factory new" collection will be more - which is naturally more difficult to achieve with the elements of the twenties and thirties that since the sixties. There is currently little demand for lingerie after the sixties, because at this point all sticky, but killed the stockings, suspenders and belts. Collectors look for clothes that are clean, show no signs of wear, not of dying fabric, traces of rust or storage. Frankly collection Investment tends to be risky because the subtle deterioration can be continued without special care - it is better gather pleasure to wear, with the bonus that if you treat the items with the care you're likely to recover your expenses if and when you decide to eliminate them. Age: It is obvious that an older item in very good condition may be more valuable as an example later. Check the label - the old labels have hand washing instructions - if you see the washing machine icons you are looking for to modern shapewear! An index of age is the most clothes will rubber, cotton, rayon used ... more modern clothing Lycra. Keep mind that if the labels were removed from the garment, then it is unlikely that much of interest to a collector. Another index age is that elements of the quarantine are often "label utility" of, resembling a pair of "men pac. The Holy Grail for collectors is to find "new old stock, often sold with the acronym" NOS "- not only labels must be intact, but the original cardboard tag sales will be on the garment, and perhaps even the original packaging.

Be able to shop online has increased the popularity of vintage shapewear, but as with any collectible, there is always a case of "buyer beware" - the more detailed description of the subject, covering the design, labeling and status, and detailed photos, the more confidence you may have to buy. If you buy on an auction site, check how long the seller has been a member of the site. Check the member feedback. With all the auctioneers or an online store, please return policy.
