Polyester bell bottoms perhaps? It's late & I'm tired, so I may be way off course here...

ReplyDeleteWow, this one's tough too. I was going to say a scarf but then your comment about not needing a belt makes me think pants of some sort (maybe lounging pants....of course, if they date back to the 60's I guess they could just be "wearing" pants ;>) And yes, probably polyester ;>)
ReplyDeleteRhonda (marshudson at comcast dot net)
Some groovy pants. As Heidi said - bell bottoms???

ReplyDeleteI think it's a dress. It makes me think of your Good Fortune line, too!
ReplyDeleteI would love to win, I'm dying to get my hands on some more Good Fortune now that I'm about to give my Good Fortune mug rugs away to my girlfriends.. who would have thought gifting would be so hard??
My guess is mini dress
ReplyDeleteAn apron?
ReplyDeletePolyester Jumpsuit?
ReplyDeleteThat looks like my mom's old polyester robe from when I was a kid! But I think they must be pants - probably bell-bottoms! Or hotpants?!?! Or a jumpsuit?!?! Whatever it is, the fabric is great!

ReplyDeletehildy@ebertzeder.de
My guess is a polyester jumpsuit. Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteShall I guess - flared bell bottom pants with an elastic waist made out of some mad made fabric - like nylon or polyester.
ReplyDeleteFirst glance I thought a Hawaiian shirt although the print is different from those I know. Your hint makes it sound like it might be pants of some sort--must have an elastic waist if so.
ReplyDeleteI suppose you will share the story about where and when and who first bought this item?
I am sewing with Good Fortune now so could put this layer cake to goog use.
What a stumper! How bout a "blouse"?
ReplyDeleteI believe it is what used to be called a house dress.
ReplyDeleteMy first thought was a muumuu...it's so hawaiian-ish and colorful. But then the no belt suggestion threw me off. Let's see...I think I'll say polyester bell-bottoms. I would LOVE to win some Good Fortune!
ReplyDeleteI am thinking a polyester bell bottom jumpsuit!
ReplyDeleteI think it's lounge pants/palazzos, they were bright and loose.
ReplyDeletePolyester skirt with H-shaped suspenders--I think we called them dirndls
ReplyDeleteI'm going with a Mod Halter Dress.
ReplyDeleteHow about a sarong, beach cover-up?
ReplyDeletePolyester dress.
ReplyDeleteThat is a Kimono.
ReplyDeleteMy guess is elastic waist koulots (don't know how to spell it but, that split skirt thing)Thanks for the memories....I think?
ReplyDeleteA caftan- polyester of course.
ReplyDeleteMy guess is a polyester jumpsuit or overalls. The fabric colors looks great. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteI was around then so how can it be vintage! LOL! I think it must a hippy blouse. We all wore them. PattiO
ReplyDeleteI think it's a polyester suspendered mini-skirt! Seems to me I had one myself just about that time.....
ReplyDeleteGuessing a polyester mini skirt, but this one is really tough!
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking polyester elastic waist pants.
ReplyDeleteGET OUT! You did not have a pair of pants looking like these! However this would have been high end back then because it looks like fine polyester and the regular stuff was so thick. You were rockin it in the polyester pants!
ReplyDeleteWow, I have thought of alot of things but will go with a moo moo (sp?). Very Hawaiian and easy to wear and care for. grandmas9@msn.com
ReplyDeleteI'll guess a dress made of polyester.
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing mod pants with suspenders!!! you go girl!! jmh

ReplyDeleteShawn M.

ReplyDeleteA groovy pair of Bell Bottoms made from polyester.
ReplyDeleteLoved the pictoral clues! Even though I'll still just have to throw a wild guess out there...
ReplyDeleteI think it is a pair of suspendered palazzo pants.
It's a guess...polyester pants of some sort. Great fabric design!

ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance!
I would say a polyester shirt of some sort. :D
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking pants? Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteI think it's a skirt.
ReplyDeleteMy first thought was a polyester shirt, but that comment about the belt didn't seem to fit. Therefore, I will go with pants.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to guess a polyester jumpsuit.
ReplyDeleteandersonclanatmacdotcom
I am thinking polyester pants!
ReplyDeleteI think it's a jumpsuit. They were "in" at the time- not that I was there... :)Tanis
ReplyDeletetshura@roadrunner.com
I bet it is a dress that maybe your much older sister or maybe your mother wore to school.
ReplyDeleteA mini dress.
ReplyDeletePolyester bell bottoms. This is a tough one...
ReplyDeleteI think it must be some sort of polyester dress.
ReplyDeletePolyester pedal pushers.
ReplyDeleteI will go with a jumpsuit probably polyester (it was the era!), but maybe a silk or silk-blend. That was a high-end label.
ReplyDeleteTough challenge, but the prize is certainly worthy! Thanks for the chance to win!
I'm guessing a polyester dress or pants.
ReplyDeleteJan S.
I think it is a dress.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to guess a polyester dress.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking a sarong(sp?). You know, those wrap around swimsuit covers?
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing a skirt with suspenders. Oh my!
ReplyDeleteMy guess is a vintage dress
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking a muu-muu.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking it looks kind of like the moo moo my grandmother used to wear.
ReplyDeletemissysaprons@yahoo.com
HenriB's in NY - the mod look! lol love it! Must be something like a jumpsuit!
ReplyDeleteI am going to go with a jumpsuit. They seemed to be popular 'back in those days'! :D Thanks for letting us play!
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing silk or polyester pants--maybe pajama pants.
ReplyDeleteIt is so groovy...a mod polyester jumpsuit.
ReplyDeleteWell I'm not a child of the 60's myself so I was going to call it a "jumper," but a quick Google search tells me it's called a "jumpsuit" or "pantdress." Groovy, man.
ReplyDelete(Look! You can make your own!)

A polyester sundress. It looks like there are straps in the picture....
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing a beautiful purple print caftain. :)
ReplyDeleteI stink at this game. If it doesn't need a belt, I'm assuming some sort of elasticated waist, harem pants in a polyester blend.
ReplyDeleteMy guess is a polyester jumpsuit. Love the bright colors.
ReplyDeleteA robe?
ReplyDeleteI am guessing it is a polyester jumpsuit!
ReplyDeleteI would also guess a polyester mini skirt with suspenders..apparently back in style too...
ReplyDeletei'm guessing a jumpsuit.....because i have one hanging in my closet. although it's not quite as bright!
ReplyDeleteI'll go with bell bottom pants. Had fun doing some looking on the internet. :) I think we need a resurgence of some of the better fashions from those days!
ReplyDeleteMy guess is silk or polyester pajama pants or leisure pants that have an elastic waist
ReplyDeleteI think is a polyester jumpsuit.
ReplyDeleteJumpsuit? I'm going to guess polyester due to wrinkling.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely polyester! I think that it's a pair of vintage overalls! Fun! Thanks for the giveaway! I can't wait to get my Mystery BOMSs starting in June!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to say polyester (no wrinkles), elastic-waist (no belt) skirt. Thanks for this chance!
ReplyDeleteIs it an overall dress? You have had that a long time!
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking jumpsuit with bell bottoms. It's kinda sad that what is vintage to you is what I wore growing up. The last comment made me laugh. I don't remember any decent clothing in the 60's! We were all flower children, grubbier than heck, competing for the shortest, loudest, wildiest outfits we could find. As long as they don't bring back polyester leisure suits and men's polyesters shirts!
ReplyDeleteA sarong to wear on holiday maybe? Made from a poly fibre so it won't crush in your case?
ReplyDeleteOk polyester skirt with elastic or overalls. Almost loooks like a print that would be fun in a quilt
ReplyDeleteA summer dress that falls to the foor. I had one with poppies on black that was smocked in elastic across the top...how I loved that dress. My body couldn't handle the size of those poppies today! You could see me for miles!! Loved those days
ReplyDeleteGotta be polyester pants--sansibelt, no less!
ReplyDeleteI'm kind of thinking it's a swimsuit. Man, I hope I'm right because I really, really want some Good Fortune!=) Thanks for the opportunity to win!
ReplyDeleteWell, given that it is older than you...it is either polyester or rayon, and since it is from Henri Bendel, it is a hobo style bag, or a halter top. I pick halter top!
ReplyDeleteI think maybe it's a bathing suit-for a nice vacation in a beacht type of place
ReplyDeleteI would have to guess a polyester jumpsuit.
ReplyDeleteI am going with in-style and wild Bermuda shorts - I am old enough to remember them. Judy C
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking it might be a caftan.
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely polyester and I'm guessing it's a hawaiian shirt, given the pattern.
ReplyDeleteFrom Bendel's? Could be anything! I'm going with a jumpsuit, polyester of course :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's older than me too...but my first thought was a bell-bottom jumpsuit.
ReplyDeleteHi I think it is one of those "jumpsuit" sort of contraptions. I actually made one for myself back in that day!! one piece bellbottom fitted sort of thing...but oh how we thought we looked good in it!!.....:)
ReplyDeleteI'll wager culottes with suspenders.
ReplyDeleteI say polyester jumsuit!
ReplyDeleteWhatever it is, I'd like the fabric in 100% cotton. I'm sure it is polyester, probably knit and some kind of full pants. You would think I could remember, I was a young bride and mother in those years!
ReplyDeletequiltschon@att.net
I'm going to guess sundress because it looks like there are straps and it's just too distressing to think it might be pants and suspenders :-)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous polyester jump suit or at least bell bottoms!
ReplyDeleteI think it is a swimsuit of some kind.
ReplyDeleteHi Kate,
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing a polyester jumpsuit with wide bell-bottom pantlegs, and perhaps a halter-top? (or a turtleneck top with the scooped-out armholes)-very Charlie's Angels! That would be SASSY! Henri Bendel...has to be stylin' is all I say. Really like the print, though--inspiration for another collection! (it really is Vintage Modern!)
I'm guessing legging sort of pants...the stretchy kind, you know, that stick to your legs like white on rice. :D Love the print
ReplyDeleteNicole
be_happy15@hotmail.com
I also think it's a polyester jumpsuit or at least pants of some kind. I, too, lived through those mod days and had a few of those prints.
ReplyDeletea shirt?
ReplyDeletemarksey3@msn.com
It looks like there are straps or a belt, hummm.....this is a tough one! I would have to guess either a swim suit or jumpsuit??? Love the colors and print....the polyester, not so much!
ReplyDeleteMy guess is bell bottom pants in polyester double knit of course. Back then the louder the better!! ~Jody R.
ReplyDeleteThat would be one totally groovy jumpsuit :)
ReplyDeletei think it is one of those "one size fits all !" moo moo style dresses usually made of perfect lightweight polyester
ReplyDeletePolyester wide leg pants!
ReplyDeleteWow this is a hard one, I will go with my first thought which was a Coat..
ReplyDeleteI think they are pants!
ReplyDeleteI think its a polyester mumu like the one Endora wore on Bewitched!
ReplyDeleteA polyester halter dress
ReplyDeletePolyester pants!
ReplyDeleteAfter much scrutiny, I'm going with a romper! :)
ReplyDeleteI"m sure I see straps, so I'm guessing s sundress!! Love the colors!
ReplyDeleteYour mystery vintage item is definitely made out of polyester and I am guessing that it is a jumpsuit.
ReplyDeleteI think it is a polyester mumu.
ReplyDeleteI'd say it's either polyester bell-bottoms or a jumpsuit. Nice asian print.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could get this right, but to me it looks like it might be a bathing suit.
ReplyDeleteBell Bottom Pants!
ReplyDeletePolyester bell bottoms. Groovy!
ReplyDeleteA polyester sundress? The colors are amazing and will never fade LOL!
ReplyDeleteI think it's a polyester mini-skirt with a bib and ties that crossed in the back. I had one in a similar print and I loved it. Wow, that brings back memories!
ReplyDeletekcannon@anwsu.org
The pullover dress/robe thing women used to wear around the house.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking elastic waist band pants?
ReplyDeleteI am guessing polyester bell bottom overalls. Thank you for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteMy first thought was a caftan, they were popular at that time, but your belt clue makes me guess a polyester jumpsuit w/ flared legs in a very cool print!
ReplyDeletePolyester mumu (one of those house dress thingies). Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteA polyester jumper
ReplyDeleteOh my, this is hard! I would say hip huggers, either pants or shorts, because of the "no belt" comment you made....but then it almost looks like you can see a tie in the picture. So some short of pant or shorts made of polyester or knit.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! This is tough! I love the fabric on your item, but this is hard to guess! It must be made of polyester because it doesn't wrinkle. Hmmm...a polyester skirt, perhaps a wrap around skirt? Thank you for the chance!
ReplyDeleteIs this some sort of Mama Cass-esque moo moo?
ReplyDeleteI would say an overall! Nice color!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to go with pants...psychadelic pants! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteMy guess is a blouse. It definitely wouldn't need a belt!
ReplyDeleteFrom that store it has to be a scarf!!
ReplyDeleteI am going with a dress of some sort.
ReplyDeleteI think some type of dress given the era. I was in college and I'm trying hard, really hard, to think of what we wore.
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing it is some type of jumpsuit, eith long pants or shorts. :)
ReplyDeletein the 60's I used to wear a dress made of polyester. In my area of the US, Virginia, we called a Shift...no belt needed.
ReplyDeleteI am going to guess pedal pushers. Although I thought it was a blouse but when you said you don't need a belt to hold it up that made me go huh?
ReplyDeleteLooks like a 60's era swimsuit. beautiful color!
ReplyDeleteA line dress or a shift is my guess.
ReplyDeleteBefore I read the clues I was thinking it was a mu mu from a Hawaiian vacation. Groovy bell bottoms seems like a possibility or a cute mini skirt.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to guess hot pants with suspenders or straps.
ReplyDeleteLeggings or capris of some sort! They're cute!
ReplyDeleteMy guess is a pair of palazzo pants from the 60's. How I remember them well. Love the fabric.
ReplyDeleteI think it is a polyester halter top
ReplyDeleteMy guess is a polyester skirt. The fabric has to be polyester from the look of it and from your description "this item will never wrinkle" And I'd guess it has an elastic waist. But wow, those colors are so IN right now!!!
ReplyDeleteTracy
I think I'm way off, but I'm going to go with rainboots. Namely because I would love a pair with that pattern and it seems to fit the criteria you've specified. Fun game!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a Hawaiian shirt tome, if it is pants I would burn them immediately! Lol!
ReplyDeleteA GROOVY Polyester Jumpsuit?
ReplyDeleteI'm going to guess it is some kind of polyester jumper or palazzo pants.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking lounge pants.
ReplyDeleteMy guess is that you have some very colorful bell bottoms hidden in your closet:)
ReplyDeleteskirt
ReplyDeleteI think it is a lovely polyester lounging dress!
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing it a poly jumpsuit.
ReplyDeleteelastic waist polyester skirt is my guess. janita
ReplyDeleteOh my, so many thoughts; Palazzo pants and a Mumu were my first thoughts but with some more thinking and closer look at the store where it was purchased, I'll guess a gorgeous scarf from Henri Bendel. Thanks for the great hints!
ReplyDeletei'm guessing polyester maxi skirt.
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing it's a polyester (did anyone even use cotton back in the 60's?) jumpsuit. I see what look like they could be straps in the pic. I LOVE the print..wow...just add some love bead necklaces and you'd be all set to hit the town.
ReplyDeleteHostess pajamas made of rayon/cotton blend.
ReplyDeletePerhaps this is a photo of a 'sixties' palazzo-style (wide-legged, loose fitting) self-tie jumpsuit or pants
ReplyDeleteGail in Montana
Eu não sei como se escreve, mas minhas tias usavam umas blusas de poliester com laçarotes em cima do seio,e era folgadas até meio da cocha,acho que o nome é bata.Grávidas também usavam....Háaaa meu DEUS!!!!Certo ou errado,sinta-se beijada por nos deixar loucas.
