We also love informal and non traditional dresses for weddings, especially the 60’s vintage shift or mini dress. So cute and modern for those young fashionista’s out there. Sweet and simple they look great for country or urban settings when you add the right accessories. These are just a few we love!

As a vintage clothing seller I’m forever repairing the vintage clothing I sell. It feels like 1/2 my life is spent with a needle and thread in hand. I don’t want the clothing to be badly done so I’m always trying new things out to see how they work & if I can save some time and have a better repair. The majority of the time I send the clothing out to be professionally repaired but for the very small things that aren’t worth sending out I do them myself. I recently bought and tried Mighty Mend It after seeing those very persuasive commercials on TV. I thought I’d pass along my experience to you guys to try to help you save some money.

I tried it out on scrap fabrics first, as I always do with cleaning products, dye’s and other things that I intend to use on my vintage clothes. I used it on a variety of vintage fabrics, brocade, cottons, rayons, velvets, leather, and even denim. It doesn’t perform exactly as they say.  You can’t wash it in hot water, and dry cleaning fluids disolve it. It’s also not immediate. You must wait at least 2 hours before wearing. It does work but it’s only good for a temporary fix. It did not hold up on leather at all. It’s also very expensive. You can find a number of other products at Joanne’s or Michael’s that does the exact same thing at a fraction of the cost. They also will not return your money if you’re not happy. They will only replace it, but why would you want more if you don’t like it? As of now I think nothing will take the place of the trusy needle and thread. So in the end I don’t give it a thumbs up or down… Just a not great rating.

2 photos one of my customers sent in wearing her vintage prom dress she bought here at Posh girl Vintage. She’s just gorgeous and the photography is too! Well done!

I came across these amazing fashion photos from the 1960’s and had to share. The 60’s and 1920’s are my 2 favorite decades. There’s nothing like vintage designer clothing from the late 60’s! Even the early 70’s was just so sexy and pure art for designers and music alike. Music, obviously, heavily influenced fashion at that time. There are a few Pucci outfits here along with Givenchy and other famous designers of that time. I have much more and will keep posting them today & over the next few days.

This amazing vintage style gown is one of my favorites. Even though it’s a modern designer dress it’s still as glamorous. From the exhibit: Addressing Fashion at the Met

Olivier Theyskens (Belgian, b. 1977) for Nina Ricci (French, founded 1932). Evening Dress, spring/summer 2007. Steel gray heat-crinkled silk organza embroidered with linear chain stitch in white silk.

From time to time we get a few nasty emails from anti fur people about our selling of vintage fur coats so I thought I would write my thoughts on the subject. First & foremost we do NOT support the wearing or buying of modern furs and we are big Peta supporters. We refuse to sell any vintage clothing made of fur newer than the 70’s. Many of our clothing pieces are bought for movies and documentaries and other projects where they’re preserving or recreating our past. These vintage furs coats and other clothing are part of that and need to be authentic. Fake furs just would not work for something set in the 20’s or 30’s! There’s nothing wrong with using vintage fur clothing.

I do not, however, feel the same about leather clothing…vintage or not. I eat meat and do not believe that a vegan lifestyle is healthy for most people. For some people it is, I understand there are food allergies and such and that’s fine, that’s their choice but it’s not mine. Trying to push that belief on other people is wrong. It’s perfectly normal to be part of the food chain and use the animal for survival as people have done since the beginning of our existence. Using the hides after you eat the animal is fine as did my Indian ancestors back in the day. But, killing an animal just for vanity reasons is just wrong and cold hearted in my opinion. It’s no different than a puppy mill.

I would like to say, to all you anti fur people who send out nasty emails to people that I applaud your passion and belief but you really need to rethink your methods. Your goal is to get people to hear you and join in your belief of not supporting the fur trade, correct? Attacking people is not going to bring them into your circle or want to have anything to do with you frankly. My first reaction to those kinds of emails is a negative one and it makes me want to do the opposite of what you say, and I’m a supporter so think what that does to someone who wears fur? It just makes them go out and buy a new fur! Try being nice and stating an intelligent case to explain to these fur wearing people and maybe you’ll get them to come over to your side. You have a much better chance with peace than with anger and drama. That old saying about honey is true! Try it.
