I came home empty handed after the vintage fair, how did that happen? Here are the whys and my little review of the show.
About 50 stalls were held at the fair, and the styles range from 19th Century to the 80s, but most pieces are from the 40s and the 50s, and I am a big fan of those eras' clothes. It's a shame that I didn't find anything that I liked in my size! They do provide alteration service on the spot though, but you wouldn't want that major resizing work to change the extraordinary proportion and the beautifully constructed shapes of the original garment.
I admit that my figure isn't quite cut out for wearing the 'hourglass-ly' vintage clothes, but many of the show goers looked amazing in their smart little suits and almost decedent dresses; with the carefully curled platinum blonde hair and immaculate retro inspired make-ups. They are so very Hitchcock, very Christian Dior--- the kind of beauty that’s so out of this world, so surreal.
