Tips For Buying Vintage Dresses

February 11, 2020

People most of the times think that vintage clothing will make them weird, and that is why I am here to write this article in which we will discuss about some major tips for vintage dressing. 

What is vintage dressing 

Vintage dressing term is a generic term, which is generally used for clothing styles of previous era, now vintage dressing can be classified into various styles, sometimes when our friends talk about vintage looks, it is probably about the most recent late era, and sometimes when we are planning a tableau for the 16th century then those dressing will also come under the vintage category. 

Getting vintage clothes can be a bit difficult, because a lot of these designs are out of fashion, but I believe that whatever you wear with grace that comes under fashion. 

But, trends vary and vintage dresses are less likely to be intends, but what can one do when they love the vintage the most, you can visit some online shopping sites such as Zapaka vintage dresses or call a tailor who can cut and stitch a beautiful vintage style dress for you. 

Your designs can be of your choice, and I am afraid that a lot of tailors in this era are not very keen in making vintage dress, even in many developed countries there are very few tailors available for the common man, ready made dressing as taken over the stitched one. 

Anyhow, recently I found this website named Zapaka vintage dresses, which has got the best vintage dresses, I had to buy a frock which I desperately need for my friends 30th birthday, as we all are planning a similar theme. 

  1. Know the shop 

As I have mentioned earlier vintage clothing is not very popular, as the new generations are very much into jeans and tees. 

Anyhow, if you are a keen admirer of vintage dresses then the very first thing you must do, is to find the best shop, whether it is online or conventional. 

This will save your time, you would be able to land on the perfect shop, which will have the most appropriate vintage clothes you have been looking for. 

 2. The looks 

One thing which buyers will not pay much attention to, is the realization of the look. If you are buying a vintage dress, then it does not necessarily mean that you must only buy the old looks. 

Some designs and stitching patterns can be according to the trends this will make you look up to date. Moreover, you will feel more confident. 

3. Get the accessories 

You must not skip the accessories, having scarfs, earrings and sunglasses is an integral part of giving you a complete look. Skipping all of these can have a very low look. 

Your accessories must not look like old, because the point is to create contrasts. So, beware of it. 

4. Quality check 

What is the point of having vintage clothes when they are not durable enough? You must check for the quality many vintage clothes are made up of linen and cotton, especially the frocks, make sure that you know the type of the stuff. 

Sometimes, there are synthetic cloth, which is not very bad, but not as good as the original vintage clothes must be, ask the seller about the durability and type of cloth before opting for any of their article. 

  • 5. No sizes 

Vintage dresses are quite losing, especially the outer ware, so if you are going to buy a small or medium size vintage then it will be like 16 sizes lose coat. 

Secondly, the inner wear is contrastingly small, during vintage times, the size 12 was considered large, so you must be very alert while buying vintage dresses for yourself.

 6. Try them 

As we have discussed there is a difference of sizes during that era and now, so you must make sure that you have tried on those dresses for your surety. 

This is important, as sometimes, clothes may look extremely beautiful, but their look would not suit your body shape, so you must not risk this buying and put on some of the dresses before buying them. 

During online shopping you will not get this chance, so make sure that there is a return policy for the articles.
