I was a little girl in the 50’s and remember all these dresses on my aunt and grandma. My mom not as much as she was a stay at home mom and wore more casual things like what we call capris and tops mainly. My grandmother managed a dept in a big dept store something like kohl’s and dressed in dresses like these every day. She had beautiful clothes and shoes, hats and bags to go with everything. I used to love looking at her beautiful hat collection that she kept in hat boxes that were as pretty as the hats. Women back then always wore little white gloves to church on Sunday’s. I think the reason you don’t find as much lavender in women’s clothing is it was mainly used in little girls clothing during the 50’s. It was not as popular a color in fashion of the 50’s. You know how colors trend even today.

Ahh thanks so much for sharing those memories! I love some of the more casual 50’s styles as well. Pants have been a lot harder for me to find, especially in my size! I’m going to have to find a good vintage pattern and make some. Your grandma sounds fabulous!! That’s awesome.

Laci Fay The Vintage Girl Next Door My grandmother was a beautiful woman and took care of her looks, drove a car and took care of herself up until she was 90. Oh and the shirtwaist dresses you have in the pastel colors I remember that the teens mostly wore those colors. I don’t recall women wearing pants much until the 60’s. I do remember capris or dungarees in the summer but dresses the rest of the time. I had to wear dresses or skirts all through my school years. My area did not allow girls to wear pants to school until 4-5 years after I graduated. It was torture in cold Ohio winters to walk home from school with bear legs or panty hose in snow drifts. Not many got rides home in those days. I believe I grew up in the best time in America. A child in the 50’s, a teen in the 60’s and then the disco, bell bottom, platform shoe era of the 70’s. Really fun times. You have brought back a lot of good memories today. Thanks for sharing your fun, beautiful life with us on KZread.

What normal people hear: Vintage What i hear: Aesthetic

Of course you have to buy certain super special dresses! If you've notice the prices of conventional, contemporary clothing, you are still saving a ton of money. You would spend so much more at department stores, or boutiques. You have a true appreciation of this clothing, and you need to honor that when you find something special. You seem pretty thrifty for the most part. You don't have justify your spending. Your husband is a lucky man, and I bet he would be the first to agree. Keep on saving those gems, please.

Still here! Enjoying myself

You’re very fortunate to be able to wear yellow, not many people can pull off that color.

What a beautiful collection!! You're lucky to have found so much vintage clothing. I'm a modern day size 14 and rarely find clothes that will fit me. What do you wear when you hang out at home or exercising? Do you always dress vintage style? I feel you about the quarantine weight gain! It was just so easy to do! I'm doing the Weight Watchers plan from the 70's and it's helping get the weight off but it's slow.

Wow, I can't believe such beautiful and amazing pieces were found at a thrift store! The thrift shops near me only have dollar store clothes and 2000's cocktail dresses (which are still gorgeous, just not my style!) I found you from the video "This woman lives everyday like it's 1958" and I wish I'd have found you sooner! There used to be a really awesome diner that was 60's themed and was my favorite restaurant. It closed a few years ago and was replaced by a bar. Great video :D

It is easier to find smaller sizes in vintage unfortunately. Do check out the seam allowance though. Sometimes I find that there is enough to let out the garment or move the button to give a little extra room.

I have just recently found your channel, while searching for retro/vintage knitting patterns. As a knitter, when I run up against a scratchy wool, I soak in cool water with a natural hair conditioner (avoid anything with sulfates, silicones, etc - natural is the key word here) and then lay flat to dry without rinsing. This generally helps, and occasionally resolves the issue. Dry cleaning (depending on the cleaner and their process) can actually damage the fibers and this will cause the itch factor to go up. I have NOT tried this on any vintage wool fabric, but a quick internet search found this trick recommended for vintage wool sweaters. Just an idea :)
