Home Stretch

Whether at home or in the office, it’s no stretch to say that vintage fashion with a little (or a lot!) of give is comfortable, flexible to wear and easier to fit. We’re looking at YOU sweaters, but also the knit shirts, dresses and suits that have always been thankfully forgiving. Stretch your wings AND your budget with great-quality vintage fashion with elasticity. The best by any stretch!

Right?! And it doesn’t have any shoulder pads! The extreme shoulders are just done with simple tucks in the fabric. Pretty cool.
