So I love vintage clothes but I almost always have a hard time fitting into most things as it was made for a much smaller generation. Yesterday I wandered into this vintage shop that was having an amazing sale on so many things. I grabbed a bunch to try on and not only did 8 out of the 10 things I grabbed fit but 6 of them were too big on me! So I walked out with two dresses for $40 which is such a score. I just love how flattering it is and how it shows off my new and improved waistline. This pink heavy silk one and another black chiffon one.

I LOVE those buttons, although you could even get away with tailoring the sleeves here too I love vintage as well, but around here the one vintage store that tends to sell more actual vintage (and not just used like Goodwill) is like.. 70s-ish lol. I'm more of a 20s-40s gal myself.0

Awesome job & love the color of the dress. Is your shoes vintage too?0
-
That's awesome! I know vintage things tend to run so small. Also what a score for $40.00 !0

Adorable dress. I love vintage, too. I have a light green number I call my "Mad Men" dress. I love how fitted it is in the waist.0

Congratulations! You look great in that dress. Love those buttons! Would look great with a belt, flattering your new waistline,:flowerforyou:0

Thanks everyone! The shoes are not vintage but they work well.
I agree the sleeves are a little big I was thinking about taking them in. 20s and 30s are my favorite to look at as well but I really only wear 50s and 60s because it is a little less delicate and fits me better. Etsy is a good place to look if you don't have real stores but it can get really pricy.I LOVE those buttons, although you could even get away with tailoring the sleeves here too I love vintage as well, but around here the one vintage store that tends to sell more actual vintage (and not just used like Goodwill) is like.. 70s-ish lol.

Congratulations!!! I also love your style.
While I mostly go for FAUX vintage (due to budgetary restraints and size/fit issues) I proudly wore a very very old Fred Perry jacket yesterday, men's size medium...totally love being able to occasionally find vintage stuff that works, that was one of those little benefits that I didn't even anticipate when I started out on MFP.0 -

Love vintage and love that dress! You look so tiny! Vintage dresses are always so small, I recently had to give my sister an adorable teal silk print wrap dress that I scored, the waist was just too tiny for me0
-
The dress and shoes make an awesome outfit.
Let me remind you that all adult women back then wore GIRDLES
in order to get those tiny waists.0 -
Absolutely gorgeous. Congrats on your score and fantastic NSV! Value Village/Savers is my friend!0
