When I work at the vintage shop, I try to direct costume searching patrons to the damaged or kind of ugly pieces and spare the good vintage from being destroyed.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02989878350742085698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3798587503021931133.post-15618571905979357752010-09-20T16:42:51.060-07:002010-09-20T16:42:51.060-07:00I agree with you both ,it's horrifying to see ...I agree with you both ,it's horrifying to see perfectly good vintage being destroyed ,sometimes heartrbreaking:(<br />You have found some lovely pieces there,the kitty dress is so cute!:)<br />I havn't had a chance to measure the length for the pink blouse yet,i will try & do that today:)Mrs Cleaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06835255790994645503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3798587503021931133.post-32710696109933647772010-09-19T21:25:33.672-07:002010-09-19T21:25:33.672-07:00I agree, something is lost when a vintage dress is...I agree, something is lost when a vintage dress is cut to mid thigh. I think the 40% skin rule is lost on this generation. Hot pants, belly shirts, tight tight tight and short short short. I don't even think its attractive. I'd rather see someone in a dress that fits in all the right places than one of those mini-trapeze dresses the girls are so fond of these days.<br /><br />RESPECT THE VINTAGE! ;)Bombshell Bettiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15351678671530141320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3798587503021931133.post-88832451189449613842010-09-19T20:37:39.167-07:002010-09-19T20:37:39.167-07:00I completely agree about the horror of cutting the...I completely agree about the horror of cutting the dresses into mini's! Seriously... I've seen a number of lovely dresses cut up and then turned into something not fit to wear on various blogs/sites!
