How to Find Plus Size Vintage Clothing and Make it Fit

Do you love the look of vintage clothing but have a hard time finding it in a larger size?  It takes patience and persistence to find vintage clothing that fits.  When you are shopping consider wearing not only a correctly fitted bra but also a full slip to help smooth you and help the vintage slide on and off.  Here are some creative ideas to help you find and wear vintage clothing in a plus size.

Expand your choices - look in different departments.

When you are shopping for larger size vintage widen your field. Look in other departments like men's wear.  A lot of men's shirts can be tailored with darts or a belt to give you a nipped in waist. Hawaiian or resort wear has fun patterns and colors. Tux jackets have potential and are available in black, charcoal,shades of white and pastel colors. Look for pullover sweaters and vests instead of button up since the fabric usually has more give to it . Men's lounge wear like robes and jackets can make wonderful evening wear. Fabric ties can be replaced with belts to change the look. Check the women's vintage lingerie section. Lingerie can be layered as daywear instead of night wear. A long robe can be shortened to wear as a jacket. Look for lingerie gowns or nightgowns, add a camisole or a slip underneath to transition into daywear - maybe add leggings . Look at pajama tops and pants, wrap dresses and housecoats. Can you add accessories to change the look ? Wear a robe as a wrap dress ? Separates have a better chance of fitting than a dress and you can mix and match.

Take a second look - rethink the decades

A lot of fashion is a reinterpretation or reworking of previous styles. If you like the 40's look have you considered clothing made in the 80's ? You'll see peplums, big shoulders and flared skirts. Add the right accessories and you'll have a retro 40's look. Plus the clothes made in the 80's are more in tune with today's body size. Certain fashions in the 70's had a 1930's feel with cap sleeves and a softer romantic look in slinky fabrics. The 60's recycled a longer looser look in pants and dresses that can look like the 20's. Today's capri pants have a vintage 50's look. Pair with a vintage shirt and create a retro look. Add a piece of vintage jewelry, a hat or scarf to a contemporary piece and give it vintage flare.

Measure and know your measurements

Use your tape measure and know your measurements.  When you try on vintage, wear a good slip and bra so it's not only easier to get it on but you'll have a smoother shape to check the look and fit. Be open to some renovation or adjustments to make the piece perfect for you. Can you move a button to get more room? Can a wrap dress be worn more loosely ? Can you wear a shirt open as a jacket?   If it fits and there's a spot, can you cover it with a bit of decoration or trim? Don't always go for the baggiest thing on the rack. Baggy makes you look bigger - if you need the largest size then try to tailor it to fit with a belt or sash or some tucks.

Revamp your choices and changing vintage

Should you change a piece of vintage clothing or not? Some people think that changing vintage clothing is like changing a piece of history. Others point out that people have always changed clothing to make it fit, to update it and to pass it along to the next in line. If you're handy or have a good tailor you can remake vintage to fit a larger size with imagination and creativity. Here's some revamp ideas.

Remove shoulder pads or inner linings to give more room
Split a dress up the sides like a tunic to make it fit, then wear it over leggings.
If it fits in the bust but is too big in the waist, sew in elastic inside at the waist to make a better fit
For circle skirts that are too small in the waist cut off the waist band and sew in elastic to your size
Vintage sweater a little small? Try tying it around your shoulders or wear it slung over your shoulders with a sweater guard
PJ pants cut as clam diggers
Try inserts of lacing, lace or stretch fabric to get more give
Move buttons over a little in button up shirts
Too short ? Then add a band of lace or ruffles at the bottom hem
Can't button it in front? Drape a scarf around your neck and wear it inside the garment.  It won't be as noticeable, especially if the scarf matches closely in color.

According to Nima Beckie, former Arts & Entertainment Editor of "SKORCH' magazine, an online magazine for plus size women, "In terms of adapting vintage, this goes without saying for ALL plus size fashions, and I cannot stress this enough, find a good tailor to work with. That beautiful dress, you don't want to ruin, because it was too long. Or those to die for bell bottoms, you jumped up and down when you found, you want them to also fit on the waist and not just the pants right?"

Remember there are more vintage shopping options than ever before. The internet gives you access to shops around the world. Be creative, be patient, be persistent and you will find vintage to fit you whatever your shape and size. And once you have a piece that fits, take good care of it, make it last. Celebrate your shape and size and dress yourself well in vintage finery.

In part, this is due to fashion tastes; retro is cool.

Fit

As with any type of clothing, you need to ensure that the clothing fits well. Vintage dresses are fantastic in this respect, as dressmakers in previous decades put a lot more effort into tailoring clothing than designers do now. To judge fit, try on the outfit, you should have around a 3-7mm gap between the fabric and your skin, there should be neither bunching nor overstretching of the material, if so the dress does not fit.

Quality

It is important to make sure the quality is up to scratch, it is no good spending £5 on a dress that breaks the first time that you wear it, although cheap, that is just money down the drain and is completely pointless.

Fortunately, vintage clothing tends to made to a higher specification than modern day clothing. To check the quality of the material, test zips to make sure they are secure, and that the glide easily - there should be no rusting, if there is, this is indicates the garment may not have been looked after. Test the stitching at the seams, pull and tug a little, you should hear no cracking of materials and the seam should feel firm and secure, if not, avoid the item.

Many items of vintage clothing's will have staining. This is not too much of a problem, because, depending on the material, you can have the garment cleaned with dry cleaners. If the item is made of leather, and there is severe staining or the material smells musty, the leather may be rotting, and this damage is irreparable.

Now, you understand a little of the concerns you should consider when buying vintage clothing, all that is left is to browse a collection of inspiring vintage clothing, and perhaps purchase an item or two, to this end, visit www.retro-vintage.co.uk

Here is a list of the best places to buy low-priced, unique women's vintage clothes:

Ebay

Many people and different companies have discovered ebay as an inexpensive way to sell their vintage stuff. Be prepared fo bidding opponents. A lot of the vintage clothes at the different ebay stores are very unique in style and the market is oversaturated so you'll be facing a lot of competition.

A store often lists a garment as an auction starting at $10 but gets won for $50, which is expensive for those who want a bargain. Always go for Buy It Now items with a fixed price and that you can buy right away without having to wait for the auction to end. You can find heaps of vintage accessories at ebay, and most of them are listed as Buy it Now-items because they're easier to ship and because many buyers tend buy several accessories from the same store.

Online vintage stores

Some of my favorite online cheap vintage clothing stores are Vintage Vixen, Rusty Zippers and King Poodle. They offer hundreds of cheap vintage clothing for both men and women. Just google "Cheap vintage clothing" and a list of online stores will appear.

Flea markets and yard sales

They're excellent sources to find cheap vintage clothing. Just make sure that you get there early or else all the best and good stuff will be taken. Once they're gone, they're gone.

Thrift stores

There you can find vintage clothing for just a couple of bucks. A thrift store is basically ashop where you can buy clothes, accessories and other stuff that other people no longer want. Examples are Goodwill and Salvation Army. It's like a place where people donate stuff they don't want without receiving any money for it.

Your grandma or mom's closet

This is the least expensive, often free place to get your hands on vintage clothing and accessories. You can always volunteer to clean out their attic and you'll likely receive a couple of free stuff as reward. You can also dive in your mother's closet and browse through stuff garments she wore when she was younger. Thanks to my own mom, I've inherited lots of vintage costume jewelry that her mother gave her.

Is why fashion Vintage won't fashion?

Vintage fashion is often confused with a recent appearance. However, vintage style fashion is not something of a short term fad. In fact, the vintage style fashion has always been part of the fashion scene.
In the 1960s, vintage trying to take something from the 1940s or earlier, and in the 1980s, vintage clothing was on post something of the 1960s and earlier versions. In the same period in the history, vintage fashion was present, although that was considered vintage differed from time to time.
In every age, "new" clothing becomes classified as vintage, pushing a new style of old clothes. This "new" style of clothes is what makes many people confuse fashion as something new and unique vintage of his generation. But the truth is that people of every age had its own brand of vintage style fashion. Many of these brands also remain in style through many generations and decades. What was regarded as vintage clothing even twenty years ago can be accepted as vintage clothing today.
Vintage fashion really nothing fashion because they are clothes that have already passed from vogue and back. Vintage fashion runs almost a past hundreds of years, so that what is considered fashion vintage ten years ago is still relevant today.
Perhaps fashion vintage style received today could turn into old clothes in 50 years, or if had come a really old dress, it could become old in ten or twenty years. And if that happens, their gowns vintage really go in style. They are updating the old state.

A catalogue of 1965 announcement mentions that a pledge had overlocked stitching, while another ad featuring seams overlock in lingerie in the 1960s. The term is not a point of sale in fashion today as most clothing has overlocked or serged seams.
Another indication of the age is the use of the rack. Patented in 1893 the first rack was called a clasp locker. These closures were not practical. Though a zipper was developed in 1913 with interlocking teeth, it took to catch.
Zippers were first put in children's clothing in the 1930s and replace button progress in pants for men around 1937. Had some zippers on clothing of women in the 1940s, but most of the clothing still possessed fasteners button, until the 1950s when finally they became popular.

8 Suits and look tears and holes Vintage wool sweaters are prone to damage from moth. A couple of discrete mothbites is fine, but reweaving can be quite expensive. So something may happen with numerous holes of moth.  Dressed in vintage also may have holes or tears. If they are large enough and that it will still be very notable even with expert repairs, then leave it in the rack.  Seams that they need a bit of restitching or tiny holes that are lost in the folds of a skirt are acceptable.

* Dress 1930 apparently dowdy of her great-grandmother actually has great potential. OK, so its too big in the bust (result of the bra bullet!), but fits perfectly in the waist. What to do? Alter it! Forget modifications or alterations decreasing the value of vintage clothing. It is useless if you cannot use. So, what value can be if you can not take it. After all, this is not a piece of furniture. Take it to a tailor. I have altered and they flaunt.

* Its too small and difficult to zip without is copied into the seams. What to do? Get a corset! Fashion faithfully his figure in the famous way hourglass, and get a perfect fit in his tiny clothing vintage. We are aware that modern women in us is not so committed to having a perfect form of cookie-cutter. However, need to stun and dazzle in this dress 1950 absolutely beautiful. The corset is reality.

So, as I do, mix and coincides with the old with the new to create your own personal style and therefore unique.

Now that is a good idea of how address wearing vintage fashion correctly, i.e.; You have 1) tailored clothing the great grandmother to fit 2) fixed that brooch damaged by lack of stones with precious stones like false appearance and wearing with pride, 3) had the pair of gloves white lace cleaned professionally (even have become his vintage luggage an avant-garde in his living room coffee table), step out there with the confidence that has that many will give you an arm and a leg for.

How to be one of the latter? Here are five tips for the success of vintage clothing.

1. If you're one of those women who think taking something belonging to someone else is unthinkable - get over it. Really. I've met many women who dress like a million dollars; so elegant and unique can not resist to comment. Then tell me that their purchases in-store savings and share your Favorites. I make a line bee in that direction at my first opportunity.

2. Go to the shops in the best areas of the city. When people donate their clothes, unwanted, or put it for shipment, usually do so in a nearby store. "People in wealthier areas tend to have clothes best quality in the first place and if something does not look good in them or does not fit properly, tend to get rid of it immediately rather than keeping that around ' just in case." Also tend to take good care of his clothes, which is why articles have less wear, without stains and so forth. In stores, it is not unusual to find clothing vintage and shoes that have obviously never been used.

3. Unless you are ready to have some altered, or are useful in this way yourself, do not arrive at something that is not accurate. You'll end up with a closet full of great clothes that you cannot use - while you still walk by in jeans and t-shirts.

4. Unless you find something you really want to at least half the time you purchase in particular vintage clothing store, don't bother go there anymore. Best dedicated his time to find another store that has inevitably something you like.

5. Don't forget to purchase online. There are online vintage clothing dealers who have excellent products. If you find one that offers specific measures, lots of good photos, etc., can get something that is just for it without having to leave the House.

With the economy is in bad shape and a little tight money, clothing it is likely to be one of the first things of your budget. But that doesn't mean that you are not very well. Vintage fashion, you will find great costumes at a fraction of the price.

Vintage fashion and the effects of the manufacture of clothing in the environment

In recent times wearing clothing vintage has become fashionable and a way to make a strong statement about ourselves. Either for financial or political reasons, many of us are no longer satisfied with the purchase of cheap clothing which ends at the back of our wardrobes, weeks later.

Production of denim (or any other clothes) inevitably affects the environment. This starts growing cotton used to do so, send the finished garment, often around the world. 2900 Litres of water it takes to produce a pair of jeans and 766 gallons of water to produce a single t-shirt (National Geographic, 2010). Cotton also frequently farms used chemicals and pesticides, creation of greenhouse gases.

However, this is only a small part of the overall environmental impact. Each year in the United Kingdom who buy 2 million tons of clothing, with 1.2 million tons in the landfill. Textiles are now the fastest growth in household waste sector, in which the media as the "effect of Primark" (The Daily Telegraph). Many traders now rotate stock as often as every six weeks. This is unsustainable financially both from an environmental perspective.

Despite this it would be unfair to blame only the environmental impact on retailers, after all produce such large quantities of clothing if not buy it. But things are slowly starting to change due to the growing interest in buying organic and ethically origin. Many merchants are using organic cotton, for example.

The use of organic cotton is a small step towards the reduction of impact fashion and clothing manufacture has on the environment. It would be wrong to say that vintage clothing does not affect the environment in any way; sometime it was manufactured by the same process. However with clothing vintage is certainly less harmful in the long term because not throw our clothes cut greenhouse gases.

For the time being only 16% of the clothes that we have of United Kingdom are recycled every year (Daily Telegraph). Buy vintage promotes recycling, we are less likely to throw a finding precious vintage that we are a bargain of high street. With this in mind, (if you choose to purchase new or vintage) the environmental impact of the manufacture of clothing is definitely an issue worth thinking about.
