<p>[QUOTE="Elen Beattie, post: 4403715, member: 18081"]Hello all! I pick up these items at auction for only $5 CAD. They are not in great condition and in need of a good clean. I thought I would rescue them, but know very little about them. No. 1 (black jacket and neck piece) and 2 (pale blue dress) look Edwardian to me, No. 3 (pink dress) I have no idea. My questions are; are these actually old items or modern "reenactment" type garments? what are the fabrics? what eras do you think they are from? No 2. has a zipper which I know is more modern but I have a feeling it was added at a later date. No. 3 has metal snap closures at the side. Any advice as to how to clean any more them would also be appreciated. I have more images, I reached my max here!. Thanks a lot <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]372847[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]372848[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]372849[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]372852[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]372854[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]372855[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]372857[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]372858[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]372859[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
