My Vintage

When asked who or what inspires the idea of Glamour the image conjures up Grace Kelly and Marilyn Monroe.....Why? Mainly their clothing! Well cut, great quality and feminine regardless of size and a little bit of history entwined.

Currently there’s a huge surge for Vintage clothing. With programmes like Mad Men leading a revival of 50’s clothes vintage clothes have never been more sort after. Vintage clothing thankfully isn’t just about designer although you see top celebrities wearing vintage – Julia Roberts, Chloe Sevigny and even Kate Moss. It’s worn because the clothes are not only unique but they are made well and out of great quality fabric. Large seam allowances and hems also allow you to custom fit each item.

Today’s fashion on the high street I find to be a bit challenging. I’m tall and slim but quite frankly harem pants do not look good! I strongly doubt that they look good on any one apart from belly dancers. I have to wear tried and tested styles. I find that the vintage items around today are these classics. Fashion moves in cycles but some styles stay and look fresh each season, these are the vintage styles you find in the good quality shops.

Emma at www.myvintage.co.uk has loads of amazing vintage pieces from the 40’s thru to 80’s with the accessories to match. No longer will you be worried about turning up at a party wearing the same as someone else and looking like one side of pair of book ends. I defy anyone to not be able to look glamorous, sexy and stylish in vintage.  Emma also has some great help articles on her site pointing you in the right direction for your body shape. So whether you’re a voluptuous Marilyn Monroe or have the current to die for lollipop shape she can point you in the right direction. 

And if you’re worried about price or your carbon footprint then vintage is another bonus.  Not only have you avoided using labour practices from third world, and then the item being shipped half way round the globe, fewer items were made so you can ensure you can sparkle and enjoy your evening safe in the knowledge, you look fabulous at a great price and even have helped the environment.
