Style vintage in clothes

Interest in the original and stylish gizmos, which were at the peak of popularity until the 50-ies of the last century, is steadily increasing. Fashion in the vintage style is cyclical, so periodically it is worth examining the wardrobes of grandmothers and moms, in which you can find suitable dresses. After making small changes to the obsolete models you will become the owner of this treasure - dresses in vintage style. What criteria does it have to match in order to fit into the vintage style of clothing?

Subtlety of style

Vintage mode implies that dresses and other wardrobe items are sewn on time in the period from the 1920s to the 1960s. But these frames can not be called clear. In addition, the vintage style of clothing assumes strict compliance with the features of the relevant period. So, the dress, which was purchased in the sixties in the market and similar to the models that can be bought in the same place today, is not vintage. In addition to the year of tailoring and matching the fashion of the era, the origin of the dress also matters. Designer dresses aged 40-70 years - vintage true, if the models are narrow, abounding in lower skirts. Connoisseurs of vintage such models determine immediately, since they were issued in single copies. At one time they were worth a lot, but today the price can be multiplied by several times.

Vintage casual and evening dresses can afford the girls secured, but for fashionistas with a limited budget there is a way out. The presence of special fabrics and the use of modern technologies allow designers to create today all-vintage dresses that can not be distinguished from the true vintage from the first sight. Thanks to the presence of old patterns and the possibility of artificial aging of fabrics, you can become the owner of a relatively inexpensive vintage dress. Some designers still have in stock vintage materials (accessories, fabrics, parts). If the dress is sewn with their use, it is considered a combined vintage. Another subspecies of vintage is stylization. Modern materials and inspiration of designers allow creating models with elements of this style.

And do not confuse vintage and retro. The latter is wider in terms of time coverage, that is, all vintage clothing corresponds to the retro style, but not all retro-style things are vintage.
