It does crack me up, though, how some sellers call ANYthing from the '70's or older "VLV"! No clue - they think it equals "vintage." I talked with a vintage storeowner in Austin last year who also sold on eBay; she was emailed by another eBay seller, who was ALREADY USING the term on her goods, what VLV actually meant! The Austin gal made up something hilarious to tell her - I can't remember what.

I'm just irked/amused when I check a dress that says VLV, and see something that NO self-respecting vintage maven would ever EVER think about for VLV. Maybe to wear to wash her '57 Chevy...
