How to Shop for Vintage Clothing

Vintage clothing shopping is exciting and enjoyable because you can find items of clothing that nobody else has and you can find good quality items made the way they don't make things these days, from fabrics that might not even be around now. Not only are you sourcing unique items but you're also being eco-friendly into the bargain and pre worn clothing is considered desirable by those frequenting the red carpet to the local fashionista.^[1]

Buying vintage clothing takes a little background knowledge of the styles you like, knowing where to look, and knowing how much you can get away with in terms of fit and alterations; while DIY alterations can help with little fit issues you may have, it’s really important to check the fit of a garment before buying. Ultimately, buying vintage clothing is about choosing what you know you'll feel great wearing.

Interesting. I love, collect and sell vintage clothing. 

It is generally much better made and higher quality than what one can find now.
