and reproductions one of the reasons that i love vintage is the quality an average vintage dress from the 1950s is head and shoulders above any modern department store frock in design construction and fabrics used on the rare occasions that i venture into a mall or department store i m always horrified when i see the quality of the products chinese cashmere is crap notice how it is starting to pill while still on the display table don t buy it it won t last the season much less onto next in the past decade the chinese have managed to make sweaters out of the cashmere that used to be thrown away and the quality of the fiber shows i pass them up at thrift stores when they re marked 2 in my opinion they re still overpriced i have fabulous vintage cashmere sweaters from 50 years ago that i pull out winter after winters thicker fluffier and built to last like a sherman tank shop for vintage pieces at local stores or online dalton and pringle are fabulous makers add scotland to your search you ll be amazed what you can pick up for a fraction of modern prices and be on cloud 9 when you put it on and experience what cashmere should feel like women have breasts it is one of our defining characteristics after having my son mine have grown to fabulous proportions and i love them i wish fashion did somewhere along the line stretchy fabrics have replaced darts and gathering i can t tell you the amount of dresses that i ve seen in sizes 10 and up that could only accommodate a modest a cup at best all summer i watched girls with fabulous figures stroll by in sundresses with tank tops underneath its not a fashion statement its a necessity i like the bodice of my dress to cover more than the average pasty even vintage reproductions can be just as bad i recently picked up a modern vintage reproduction dress from a business whose initials are qoh original tags still attached and in a desirable size i figured it would be an easy sell on my ebay store then i started to look at it the satin fabric is bottom of the barrel though the size is far into the plus rage there is no room to accommodate breasts there isn t a hem simply an overcast stitch and worst of all the fabric wasn t cut on the grain you girls who so know what i mean especially when dealing with satin the pieces of the bodice were cut out to economize on fabric making the finished piece an odd mish mash of shiny and dull frankly i m embarrassed to list it so it sits in storage with its 100 price tag still attached while reading a pattern catalog i stumbled across the above drawing used in an ad in 1942 that seemed to sum up my thoughts if you don t start with quality patterns materials construction methods you re not going to get quality it made me mentally examine my own wardrobe what has lasted me the longest and what i buy simply to get by i can t think of a modern produced item that i have purchased in the last 2 years that is still going strong in my wardrobe yet its easy to pick out a vintage piece that has been in regular rotation for 10 years obviously there is good and bad in everything but the good is just so darn hard to find i m sticking to what i know vintage is worth the price i m off to buy more now posted by bombshellshocked at 12 33 pm 7 comments labels quality reproductions sewing vintage dresses thursday july 15 2010 i dare you not to shake your rear i dare you not to shake your rear while listening to the showmen sing it will stand it just isn t possible also i can t get over how fabulous it is that the singer s voice cracks in the very first you take some music that would never be allowed in today s world of auto tune and fancy producing it makes thi s song even better posted by bombshellshocked at 1 15 pm 1 comment wednesday july 7 2010 speaking of 1950 s maternity i was recently having a conversation with another seller about vintage maternity fashions i thought i d share the quick and dirty pictures here of the lovely suit i just acquired i know the pics kind of suck but i was hoping to show how the skirt was designed to expand i believe the two v shaped cut outs were meant to be worn in back more posts soon posted by bombshellshocked at 3 46 pm
