    So what to do if you really don't like belts on waist, the way they make you look?? I feel they make my waist look thicker, uhh... (Though I'm not that big actually.) And up to now I've never tucked in *anything* , for me tucked in shirts look quite... naff, somehow. I guess I'll have to learn to do that, but I'm really not a fan of how that looks on me, either.

    @@florenna it’s all you do you and I’m sure you look good either way. A possible reason you run into issues may be that you are more rectangle or apple shaped. If you want the belt look, then perhaps using a long piece of cloth to tie around your waist would help. Otherwise, no worries. It’s all about what makes you comfortable and there are many other ways to incorporate vintage inspirations into your style.

    Button-up cardigans! They look nice and vintage-y with a skirt! I'm also a fan of wearing a sleeveless dress over a collared shirt for a retro faux vest-suit type look. Blouses that tie into a neck bow are great to pair with pants or skirts. I have a black sash from an old dress that I used as a neck bow on regular button down blouses for a simple vintage look.

    Yes! Cardigans are what I was thinking too! If you add a brooch cardigans can give an instant vintage look. Being very busty I have a hard time finding button up tops that work, or ones that are warm. But you can cover up a modern tee with a cardigan and it instantly gives vintage vibes. If you pair that with good hair and cute shoes you're set! Plus they are easy to find and cheap so you can have them in every color. And the embroidered ones you can find (I'm looking at you Collectif) are to die for!

    I totally agree - vintage styled hair adds +50 vintage points. Which is why if you want to wear a REALLY vintage outfit but not feel too costumey you can tone it down by wearing your hair in a more neutral fashion. Wearing very basic makeup also does the same thing. I've been rocking the vintage style for about 5 years and discovered this all through laziness of course. :)

    I think this and your "Faking Vintage" video both need to be first watching for every person looking to add more vintage to their life. And what helped me the most is knowing where to look and what shapes to look for. I'm plus size so here's my addendum for the size 14-26 set and such: - Know your shapes. Cuts from vintage times were different, so I have certain shapes of things I'm always on the lookout for. Skirts and dresses with an "A" line, cardigans that have a vintage sort of school feel, blouses that have the right sort of collar and sleeves and can be tucked into skirts. In the "Faking Vintage" video you did a great job showing how something might not have 100% vintage elements but those are easy to hide with a vest, put a skirt over it, or tuck or cut away. -When stores put stuff on clearance, that's the time to look. I got a Sailor dress from Torrid a few seasons ago for $13. I got a polka dot dress for $20, I got another dress for $28 that has skulls and glasses print on it(which is a bit more rockabilly but still looks so good and had the perfect shape, so I can't complain for $28. Target has Ava & Viv, which I've found some good stuff from there, and even Walmart had the best vintage style bathing suit a few years ago(polka dot with a tie neck, size 3x, $26). Old Navy occasionally has good styles, especially for shirt dresses with simple colors. You can also check ebay, although I would definitely check the reviews and stick to simple garments like a skirt, blouse, they do appear to have super cute dresses but I've yet to order one because Asian sizes mean I need to size way up. I have kind of a mix of modern and vintage styling and have been looking to incorporate more vintage gothy styling into my warddrobe the past few months after remembering how much I enjoy the look and feel of it.

    I think one of the great things about 50's style and the "new look" silhouette is that it's great for us plus size girls! Circle skirts are amazing because it nips in your smallest spot and flows out over everything else! It's also great that almost every reproduction brand out there makes their clothes in plus sizes! I've found it easier to try and find plus size clothes that fit from reproduction brands than it is to find in mainstream stores! Almost everything from Collectif and Lindy Bop (which both have plus sizes) are made from stretchy material so it's more forgiving and easier to feel comfortable purchasing online.

    If I wasn't working, I would definitely dress vintage. As it is, I work with small children/outside in all weathers, so dressing nice is definitely not a priority. (Have to wear things that are okay to get paint/glue/snot/dirt/mud/etc all over.) The skirt trick is a nice one--would you have some good sources for shirts? And I wouldn't mind playing around with doing vintage hair, but I haven't managed to locate a good tutorial/idea for styles that work on naturally curly hair. Most of the tutorials start with straight hair being curled then brushed out. I'm not about to straighten my hair just to curl it again, but if I were to brush out my curls they wouldn't do anything resembling a pin up brush out...

    Have you tried wet setting?I have naturally wavy/curly hair (2C) so after I wash my hair and put in my leave in creams and what not(I can't imagine the process for kinky haired girls) I let it dry to the point where its still damp but mostly/almost dry and start pin curling(pins, sponge/pillow rollers which ever you prefer). When I wake up my pin curls have taken shape then brush out. It works! But timing is important because if your hair is too wet it won't dry leaving the pin curl out of shape but wait too long for it to dry and its impossible to roll the hair. If your hair is frizzy (like mine) pomade is essential to keep the styles looking good.

I know it doesn't seem like it makes sense to curl your already curly hair, but using those methods will restructure the curls and make the brushout completely different 😊😊

    Hey Rachel! I need some advice 'bout hairstyles. Could you help me? I'd love to rock some vintage styles, but I have very curly and thick and poofy hair (it's a 3a + 3b texture) and it's... incredibly hard to find vintage hairstyles that would look good without ironing my hair down or being for 4a/b/c textures, which is a completely different kind of hair. (Which is......... quite weird, because the vintage style was all about emulating curls and curly hair.......) Would you have some recommendations - either by other youtube gals or other kind of resources - that could help me out? Love your channel so so _so much!_ Keep on doing your awesome job and being this gracious and beautiful person that you are.

    Love this! You are right, hair is everything! They make or brake your outfit! I've mastered the barrel roll with high ponytail and can get it done in under 5 minutes and it's instantly recognizable as retro. My person tip is cardigans with brooches! Cardi's are already very vintage accurate, but the second you pin on a brooch it's perfect! Plus it's a way I can throw in dashes of nerdyness with my Disney and Harry Potter enamel pins I wear as brooches.

I have always loved this style but nevet brave enough to wear it! Well.... I have recently gained the confidence to just do it! (No pun intended. Haha!) So i went out and bought a few must haves and been watching tutorials to get my vintage style on point! 😉 I must say that you my dear are a life saver! Not only are you an "experienced" on the vintage style (I love the 50's!!), you are very knowledgeable and informative and your hilarious! I enjoy watching your videos! Have been all morning once i watched your first! So keep on doing what you do because you are great at it! A natural! Here's a shout out to your lil fur babies! Love that you include them, but being a fur baby mama myself i understand that they would be there making noises whether you wanted them to or not! Hahaha! Anyway girl, you are beautiful! Keep on keeping on! Can't wait to watch the next video!!! So glad i found ya before winter slams Cincinnati! I watched your video on layering for the winter months! 😉 Thanks again!!!

    some old rules i grew up with, from an insistent Nana: matching hat and gloves and shoes and hand bag, otherwise, white gloves. she wore gloves into her nineties. wear a hat in the sun!! in Australia, that is still excellent advice, and has helped me to age well. girdles, bras, pantyhose, full cotton briefs, and full petticoat or half-slip. and a white cotton singlet under everything.. or else!; even under spencers. soooo much underwear! but no skirt or dresses without a peticoat or half slip , and pantyhose always with shoes, but not sandals. boots with trousers were for horse riding.... these were rules even through the nineties and beyond. it was a lot of work, and life was much more formal.
