1) what would you wear to a wedding in a chilly month? (many options since they are indoors!) it's hard to choose what to wear! since i might not wear black to a summer wedding i might wear the black dress with the fur collar, understatedand elegant! or velvet, i love velvet and wish it was more "in style", i think it comes and goes, but there are some amazing vintage velvet dresses and those are perfect for a late autumn/winter wedding.
2) why do you love the idea of vintage to a wedding? well, i love the idea of vintage to anything, anywhere anytime - but vintage to a wedding is particularly befitting. a wedding is an exercise in tradition and it's despite the fashions of the day, it's a timeless day. wearing a garment that honors the past is a great way to celebrate someones future!
3) Tell us about dress size in vintage and what we might need to know?vintage sizing is much different than modern sizing. for instance a modern size 4 is a vintage size 10. the very best and only way to get the best fit from a vintage garment is to know your measurements -bust, waist and hips primarily. i always give those measurements for dresses, so no matter what size the tags says, you know the garments fits by the measurements. ladies, measure yourself!
Thanks Lauren!
