Vintage Hot Tips


Problem 1: You adore it, but it's too small. 
Corsets enabled women to faithfully fashion their figures in hourglass form but since we modern women are far less committed (or is it that we're less masochistic?) to cookie-cutter perfection, we may find it difficult to zip our favorite dresses without ripping the seams. No need to worry-there are other ways to show off your tiny garment. Why not hang it on the wall or display it on a body form? I know what you may be thinking: "I don't want to look like I live in a boutique." And you won't, if you do it right. Don't make the dress the centerpiece of the room; let it serve as an accent. Choose a dress that matches the color scheme and overall aesthetic of the room and you'll be fielding compliments from guests before you've even set out the hors d'oeuvres.

Problem 2: It's too big!
So it fits in the waist and the bust is too big? We can thank the bullet bra for this departure from reality. What to do? Alter it. Episode after episode of Antiques Roadshow may have ingrained in you the lesson that any modification results in a decrease in value. This may ring true for furniture but riddle me this: how valuable is an article of clothing you can't wear? Take that dowdy dress with potential to the seamstress, raise the hem, take in the sides, and flaunt it already!

Problem 3: Pulling it off.
Pulling it off is easy if you follow some simple advice: Modernize it. Don't relive it. Tailor that dress to give it a contemporary fit. Pair a vintage tie-neck blouse with skinny jeans and flats. Wear a 50's shirt dress with new patent leather pumps. Accent a new dress with vintage jewelry. Mix and match new and old to create a style all your own.

10 Must Have Items In Every Ladies Wardrobe



Black blazer
"A tailored blazer is classic, feminine and looks great on all body types. Pair it with anything: jeans, little dresses, trousers, skirts. Make sure to find one that fits you well and accentuates your waist as you don't want it to look like it's swallowing you!"

Leopard Print Scarf
"Even if you're wearing a basic T-shirt and jeans, use accessories like a printed scarf as the 'bright' piece to complete your look."

Red Flats
"Black is the obvious choice, but red flats provide a pop of color and work for every season. Pair them with a striped shirt and a trench coat."

Striped Shirt
"This timeless classic is having a comeback. It looks great paired with brights or prints or peeking out from underneath a blazer."

Statement Necklace
"The statement necklace can make a simple outfit look strong and feminine."

Little Black Dress
"Every woman knows she should have a little black dress, but it's important to invest in one that's special. Look for a dress with a detail with an interesting sleeve or an embellished belt that makes it unique. And remember that finding the right fit is important!"

Black Opaque Tights
"A great pair of tights can make your legs look slimmer and help you get away with wearing a dress that's a little too short. Double them up for a more opaque look and to keep you warm!"

Oversize Watch
"A watch is as much an accessory as it is a timepiece. A gold watch is a great way to dress an outfit up or try leaving it loose so it looks like a bracelet."

Flared Jeans
"This is a flattering shape for most body types. Pair them with platforms or wedges to get extra height while keeping the look casual and comfortable."

Classic Trench
"Think of this as an investment piece as you'll wear it forever, even if you fluctuate in size. Look for a classic A-line silhouette that will cinch you in at the waist and wear it over everything from suits to jeans."
