Have you noticed the striking difference in clothing quality between today’s fashion and that of 25 or more years ago? It’s really quite remarkable. Even something as simple as a day dress—what used to be made of 100% cotton is now often replaced with cheap polyester blends. And to get the quality we once took for granted, you have to spend a small fortune—and even then, good craftsmanship isn’t guaranteed.
As a vintage lover, I’ve learned it can be tough to find pieces that suit my body shape, since people were generally smaller back then. But when I find something that almost works, I don’t hesitate to take it to my tailor. In the end, I end up with a one-of-a-kind, heirloom-quality piece that no one else has. And honestly, it’s worth every bit of the time and money!
