First, try searching our website. There are hundreds of articles that may have the answer you need.
Vintage clothing labels: Search your vintage clothing labels here or ask in this Facebook group.
Researchers and students will find this article on “How Do I research Fashion History?” helpful. Look at my book list for some of the fashion history books I use.
Students, you may ask me specific questions AFTER you have attempted to do your own research (off the internet is best).
Authors: The bulk of my fashion history questions come from authors and movie directors wanting help with a character. In your request please be as specific as possible about your characters time period, social economic class, location, age and occupation. When your book is published please send me a link to it.
