Hi, I found these things at the bins and I'm clueless as to what they are, key words, etc. Any help is greatly appreciated 
I believe this is vintage, it has open pressed seems, the fur seems real I believe it is rabbit fur:
These two are semi sheer and jeweled, I have no clue what they are called/used for: |

The coat looks like it was made in northern China - if the fur is very soft and silky and sort of "light" in weight it could be rabbit fur, but the Chinese used all sorts of fur types. Looks like the rest is crushed velvet?
The second piece looks like a fancy abaya but I think it's a Pakistani wedding dress or party dress.
The third looks like a kaftan.

Any guesses on the age of the velvet and fur coat? I was thinking maybe 60s/70s but that's just a guess, maybe 80s?
I like finding interesting things at the bins but then again I don't know a lot about the interesting things lol.

The age of the coat is hard to tell - in the western world it would be 60s/early 70s, but China goes its own way with styles, etc., though I think that probably 60s/70s judging by the seam work - as far as I know, commercial sewing in China adopted the overlocker pretty early.

Again, thanks so much! |
