I was online looking at some great pics when I came across an article that had some great tips if you love buying vintage. She has some great advice and I thought to share with you.
DOs AND DON’Ts OF BUYING VINTAGE
DO your homework and plump forwearable pieces that reflect the season’s catwalk trends. This summer it’s all about floral Thirties tea dresses.
DO pick a design classic. Investment pieces such as Fifties prom dresses will never go out of fashion.
DO invest in accessories. It’s a great way to ease yourself into the vintage trend without committing to an entire ‘retro’ outfit.
DON’T skimp on quality. Beautiful silks, suiting and wool will all wear better than cheap, man-made fabrics.
DON’T be led by the label. Remember, old sizes run much smaller than their modern-day equivalents, so be sure to try everything on before you buy.
