Here in the US, we're headed into a holiday weekend. But where ever they are based, VFG trade members continue listing wonderful vintage fashion items, and the Fresh Vintage thread is a great place to check out some of the best!
Thursday has come around again, which means it is time to start this week's edition of Fresh Vintage, where you can check out the newest listings from VFG trade members.
I just got off the phone with my dad, who lives in Crete Illinois, wishing him a happy Father's Day. I was with him last month helping celebrate his 100th birthday. He is a pretty amazing man, still living at home, still attending mass every morning in the same parish he was baptized in, still...

We didn't get to have a Fresh Vintage last week due to the VFG website "episode" (did anyone else feel serious vintage withdrawal symptoms?) - but we're back, and this should be a great thread this week!

If the measurements you gave are the dress measurements (as opposed to her personal ones), this could work, but it's a fitted skirt, not full

Everything feels fresher now that Daylight Savings Time has returned here in the US. And since it's Thursday, it's time for some Fresh Vintage, where VFG trade members show off their latest vintage fashion listings.
I guess this is the Valentines Day edition of Fresh Vintage, where you get an early look at the latest new listings from a variety of VFG trade members. Enjoy!
