How To: Date Vintage Clothing on The Blind Hem
Finding the needle-in-the-haystack is a combination of knowledge and luck – those who do it for a living have honed their eyes to pick out minute details of stitching and construction, silhouette and print. But it’s not a secret, not some key-stone conspiracy hoarded in temples to french-seams. It’s rather basic, really. A good working knowledge of silhouettes of specific eras is the starting point – the internet is a treasure trove for this. Study the cuts and drapes of the time-period you are looking for. Become familiar with hemlines and sleeve lengths.
