Volup Vintage

At its best, vintage offers the wearer a sustainable, democratic and size-inclusive fashion option. But, for fuller figure fashionistas, shopping for vintage can often seem like an unobtainable holy grail. This week we’re throwing a curve ball featuring a round-up of volup vintage in an extended size range.
