Channel vintage style fashion

By Sisi Tsoi


Vintage clothing has become such a main stream style these days, you really find most fashion high street stores do stock vintage clothing, because it is the trend for the past century or so. The type of clothing you get these days in high street stores, mostly are from the eras of the 80s and 90s, which is technically anything made within 30 years, and not really vintage.

There is of course recurrent trend, like a 20s style dress that made in the 80s, like a pretty prom dress made in the 90s, inspired by the 50s. Your expectation of vintage clothing, such as condition of the clothing next to mint is normal. since vintage clothing is in such high demand, so the prices of real vintage is often higher than the current collection of new clothes of the high street. The reason being, the feeling of vintage is to give you the extra edge, which the new seasons collections of mass-produced clothing cannot beat. You will end up wearing the one of a kind item. The thing is, chance for us buying something really one of a kind is small, because some of the vintage clothes were of course also massively produced!

I recall the thrill I am getting when i am on the chase for a good vintage garment, and the beauty when you discover something next to mint condition for fragment of the price. There are still wonderful clothing in the market these days. However, I lost count how frequently I purchase a vintage garment, and mess it up in the wash, or merely simply step into my oh so frail vintage lace slip - and heartaches begin. It's not just that these togs are hand-made, or even handmade ; the quality may also be very unpredictable.

So here is where vintage style clothing comes in. The basic fact that these clothes are older than me, and yet, I am expecting it to do as well as the new garment, I suppose is just day dreaming. Latterly there is a current heap of site, stores, which are imitating the real vintage clothing, but made in sizes that fit modern ladies, putting in a zip that works, and fabric that's harder wearing for today's busy, modern ladies.

So hurrah for vintage style fashion, you will not need to search in vain for the next vintage dress that's going to break your heart! So go on, be happy to search, score the ideal small 50s impressed dress for your most fervent desire - and without the massive pay out!
