I also have a few skirts that were made for my mother before she got pregnant with me, but alas, I inherited my father's shape and size and the skirts do not fit me. You are quite right about the quality (or lack thereof) in most modern readymades. As for the boobage issue, why not find a good seamstress who can alter the clothes to fit you? It isn't really expensive (I'd charge about $25 to take in a simple blouse) compared to the cost of a well-made modern piece. <br /><br />BTW, your vacation pictures and commentary are fabulous! I've been away from the computer for a while (eye surgery) and gotta admit to some pea-greenness at your getaway. Bucket list, for sure. Oh, and your sons: MOST exquisite eye candy.<br /><br />LAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-852836294685341786.post-77842596615720015102012-04-11T12:18:40.478-07:002012-04-11T12:18:40.478-07:00I've noticed a distinct decrease in boob quali...I've noticed a distinct decrease in boob quality over the years...modernhaushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00908388619374692982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-852836294685341786.post-51391670553721778922012-04-11T11:31:08.421-07:002012-04-11T11:31:08.421-07:00I guess they just don't make boobs the way the...I guess they just don't make boobs the way they used to ;)Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16906259050690786314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-852836294685341786.post-89903099809466374482012-04-11T10:50:23.280-07:002012-04-11T10:50:23.280-07:00I generally regret my cheap "fashion" pu...I generally regret my cheap "fashion" purchases, too.

The only problem I have with vintage clothes is the space for enormous, pointy boobs up top. I.e. there was an assumption that everyone wore serious foundation garments underneath, and my little cotton bralettes look pretty funny swimming around in there....modernhaushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00908388619374692982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-852836294685341786.post-46819048998695137482012-04-11T05:24:22.972-07:002012-04-11T05:24:22.972-07:00I'm in the process of shifting my entire close...I'm in the process of shifting my entire closet to vintage goods bought in thrift stores and on etsy. Right now I'm wearing a vintage scarf, vintage skirt, and a sweater I bought from the Gap 2 years ago. The sweater is in the worst shape BY FAR.<br />Also, I just feel like I look better and more put together in older clothes. <br />YAY, old!Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16906259050690786314noreply@blogger.com
