I have a beautiful vintage dress

I think it's from the 1920's. Sadly it's not living its best life, it has been stuck in a box since the 80's. Does anyone know where I might get a valuation on such a thing? I haven't had much luck on google.

Can we have a photo? I have a couple of dresses I think they are 50s.

I've also got an amazing 20s dress which was my great granny's.

I've worn it around the house a couple of times to amuse myself.

But following for better ideas...

Hi OP, look at the V&A website for advice on how to care for and store such items.

www.vam.ac.uk/content/articles/c/caring-for-your-textiles/

You should be able to get a valuation from an auction house. Each of the larger auction houses have specialist departments and will walk you through the process, if you are thinking of selling. You are under no obligation and can decide not to sell of course.

Dress is lovely, especially the coat, gorgeous!
