    • @Lunathiel_
      @Lunathiel_ 7 лет назад +15

      I do it too! Also with these long-cut shirts and 60's-like tunics which everybody was digging a few years ago. Mostly cause the thrift stores are full of them now, when shorter tops are back and fashionable again. So when I love the pattern, the sleeves, the collar - I just take it and wear it. Or I resew them, if I'm not too lazy for that (and believe me, 9 for 10 times I am :'D).

    • @Shirumoon
      @Shirumoon 7 лет назад +17

      Absolutetly! You have to keep in mind though that those items are made to fit asian women, so they are probably super short on most western people (just fyi if anyone wants to buy from that brand).

      There's two vintage shops very near to each other in my city. One sells dresses for 18 euro (I recently got one from the 60s in mint condition!), The other sells dresses for 50±. Sometimes I wonder if it's greed or quality.

I didn't think about turning it into a vintage 50s style outfit, I love it 😍 I may have to change my mind before chopping it up immediately

  • @imagismus
    @imagismus 6 лет назад

    True. What I do is just frantically looking for modern pieces (that are not 50 euros each), like puffed-shouldered blouses and dresses, knee-length skirts and oxfords, as I would define my everyday style as "late-30's-early-40's", adding accessories that belonged to my grandmother, like pearls and clip-on earrings. The rest is just the makeup, and my victory rolls always in place :9

  • @blackcatb8
    @blackcatb8 7 лет назад +4

    The first outfit was definitely my favourite: the sleeves are adorable! I'm always a bit worried with stores like shein and romwe about the quality but you definitely scored on the blue dress and checkered skirt.

    • @rachelmaksy
      @rachelmaksy  7 лет назад +2

      Oh I totally am the same way, the mass-produced, cheaper websites always make me weary but these were actually really good quality. And it's cool, at least with SheIn, each item usually has photos and reviews from people and they're pretty honest about if it feels cheaply made or not

      @Rachel-fi4sc Год назад +1

      I'm very late, but a well-fitted corset is your best friend - naturally strapless and supports the weight of the bust so much better than modern bras! They can be difficult to hide under tight modern clothes, but wearing an extra camisole over it and/or wearing either more tailored and very loose tops can work.

  • @carolinelapointe7144
    @carolinelapointe7144 7 лет назад +615

    Dresses these days don't have any shape, just big rectangles sewed on each other (most of the time with a belt). Modern fashion is so lazy! Oh and if you have any hips or booty these type of dresses don't fit!

      @NaSaDaism 7 лет назад +24

      I feel this comment so much.
      With bigger hips, I feel like everything I get that looks good (as far as shape/flare) has a stiffer fabric, so it holds its own better, or it's a LOT of fabric that's been gathered or pleated. OTL
      Both of which make things warmer to wear, and our summers here are NOT friendly with that.

    I love the vintage style but does it even work when you’re plus sized?
    Most of the people I see pulling it off are all much smaller than I am and I don’t know if I should even bother looking into it...

      What does he have to be keen about any way, it's not like he is going to wear your style?
      -And if he has control issues, you might want to reconsider the bf, not just the style

  • @leigoddard1888
    @leigoddard1888 7 лет назад +3

    Im 13 and I absolutely love the vintage style! However I'm not sure whether im too young for the style and if it might look different or strange on me. Its also really hard to find any sort of vintage clothing where i live. Do you think I should have a go at the style or should I wait a little longer?

    • @rachelmaksy
      @rachelmaksy  7 лет назад +4

      Aww I think you should do whatever makes you happy! It might feel strange at first but pretty soon it'll become your kinda-trademark! You could always stick to the more casual vintage style too, with just simple blouses and skirts! And then work your way to the more "eccentric" dresses and looks once you're comfortable enough! ❤️

    • @rachelmaksy
      @rachelmaksy  7 лет назад +2

      Julia Capone I think mine just might be polyester! I would avoid crinoline or tulle (at least personally) because those can be kinda uncomfortable. I like my petticoat to feel like a soft blanket or pillow 😂❤️

  • @lotita123
    @lotita123 7 лет назад +9

    Actually I think it's a very good idea to encourage people to buy second hand pieces of clothe on etsy or thrift shops because the brands you show here produce their clothe in horrible human and environnemental conditions so in my opinion that's a pity you promote them in this video :/

    • @rachelmaksy
      @rachelmaksy  7 лет назад +6

      True, and for the most part I thrift and buy vintage whenever I buy clothes. But for some people it's hard for them to afford vintage or don't have access to good thrifting opportunities, so I wanted to show it's not necessary to have the look of vintage. The ethical side does suck, but for some it's their only viable option for clothing.

    • @amywambsganss2061
      @amywambsganss2061 5 лет назад

      It’s hard if you are a little larger as it is hard to find vintage clothes that fit you. Or even able to find a place locally that has vintage clothes. My thrift store vintage is the 1990s.

  • @liennuh
    @liennuh 7 лет назад

    It's such a simple 'hack' but it changes the entire look. I love it. I'm going to try this for sure. It's also cheaper than buying multiple dresses. You can mix and match multiple tops with skirts.You only need 1 skirt really, if your budget it tight.. 2 or 3 tops and voila, you have '3 dresses'

  • @juliehunter1168
    @juliehunter1168 7 лет назад

    Fabulous ideas, thank you! Great idea about using dresses as tops! Why have I not thought of that one?! :) Some of the better things I learned in my long lost youth was to knit and sew, but even if you don't really sew or knit, my advice would be to get a big haberdashery kit of ribbons, beads, sequins - any gorgeous trims you're drawn to (I'm a magpie, I swear! lol) and customise your regular clothing. It's amazing how retro something can look with bows, beads and ric-rac plonked onto it! Cute outfits, btw. I love that blue striped off-the-shoulder number! x
