We hear it all the time: “Vintage clothing is always so small, I can never find something that fits me!” Oh yeah? This week we’ll change your mind with great vintage items in sizes large and up. After all, style is not defined by what size you wear, and never has been!
My fabulous model Susan in 2 1940s dresses in the shop. Special appearance by Noggin. this 1940s satin gown will work on multiple sizes! Susan is the first winner Miss Viva Las Vegas East 2017! Isn't she fabulous?!! (Not my photo or outfit)
congratulations to Susan, she is fantastic! this Kay Whitney spring/summer dress has been pinned back to fit our mannequin, but she is a vintage size 22 1/2 with a 48" bust, and vertical stripes for a slimming effect: and this pretty Kerrybrooke all cotton peasant top has a 50" bust (kinda perfect to wear for VLV...): both available now in The Vintage Merchant.
