FYI, crepe is a fabric, rayon is a fibre. In the same way that satin is a fabric and silk is a fibre. You can get satins make of silk, or polyester, or indeed rayon, and you can get crepes made of rayon, polyester, etc..
So most of your 40s crepe dresses are probably made of rayon! During that period and into the 50s rayon was ubiquitous. Acetate, another man made fabric (like rayon, it’s made from regenerated cellulose) was also popular, and a lot of the really swishy fabrics, including taffeta, were made from it. From memory that was used from about the 1930s.
Gorgeous collection and I’m particularly envious of the pieces with family history... such treasures.
Thank you for this! I asked someone once who sells vintage, as I was originally saying they were "rayon crepe", and they told me it wasn't rayon that they were just crepe. Hence why throughout the video I was hesitant about naming fabrics because what I thought I knew before I was told was incorrect. They shrank tons when I washed them and steamed back into shape so I was sure they were rayon! You've restored my fabric identifying confidence!
To be extra nerdy.. satin, crepe, georgette, jersey, denim, etc. is how the fiber is woven. But not all fibers suit all weaves. For example cotton fiber is best suited for a voile, denim or batiste, whereas a poly fiber wouldn't. Fibers also tend to determine the drape and hand feel of the fabric (not just the weave) -- you can usually tell the difference between a poly satin and a silk satin. (Although sometimes it's really difficult.)
PennyPie nerdier the better for me 🙂
Idk if you could make a video on this but...I’ve gone to some places and the prices for true vintage pieces seem affordable and then other places seem just sooooo crazy expensive. Is there a way you can tell us how you shop for pieces and how you figure out if it’s a good price for the item? I’m never sure if I’m paying a good price or getting taken advantage of for true vintage pieces
I really like this idea. I think it really depends on what you're getting. Usually if it's expensive, it's rare. So it's knowing what you want, how much to expect to spend, and where to get it. I can certainly make that into a video. Thanks for the suggestion!
I also struggle with this being poor but loving vintage 😅 I use books from my local library, if you can collect it, there’s books on it haha! Super helpful info like prices, why the pieces are valued like they are, and places to find them!
I am so jealous, this collection is beautiful and I couldn’t think of a better person to show them off 🥰
Aw thank you! Keep looking, you'll find pieces!
I don't do socials so I can't vote but I would really like a video of all the ethical vintage reproduction shops. It would be nice to have something all in one place that I could refer back to.
Love this idea!
You have a beautiful collection!! So wonderful to have so many family pieces!!
Thanks Laci! Yes, I really cherish them!
my favorite is that green coat but also very inspired by the beading on your pieces i just watched a video on that yesterday 2nd video of yours im subscribed i learn so much about sewing and beading watching videos like this when i was younger i was very creative i just bought my 1st sewing machine about 4 months ago i had an accident with it tho im getting it fixed next month
You have such a beautiful collection! Your family heirlooms and the green suit are probably my favourites!
😍 I really wish I had family pieces that I could wear. I love the idea of having not only a truly vintage piece of clothing, but one with familial ties. Having a tangible piece of your own family's history incorporated into your daily life sounds like a vintage dream come true. 💗 Unfortunately I've never had the same body type as any of the women in my family. Most all of them maxed out at 5'4"ish, whereas I'm currently 5'8.5". They were all also slinder and heavy chested, wheras I've always been kind of bulky and pear-shaped. My mom and I frequently joke about how we're complete physical opposites. She's short, big chested, has literally no bum, and tiny stick legs. And I'm tall, very small chested, and I've got a bum built for two! 😂 It's a cryin' shame as far as hand-me-downs go. My mom was born in the late 40's and she has a tendency to keep everything. So she has probably hundreds of beautiful authentically vintage pieces of clothing that I could choose from, but not one piece would fit me. It's like some cruel cosmic joke. 😢 And when my grandmothers passed away, even though I was their only granddaughter, no one even bothered giving me the option of going through their clothing. When my paternal grandmother passed away, I fear that my father just completely threw out all of her perfectly preserved vintage. Just to get rid of it. 😰
Oh what a shame! If only we could turn back time! If it makes you feel any better, my mum had a vintage 40s/50s collection 2x the size of mine but she had a clean out when I was 14 and a competitive swimmer with size 16 (AU so I think that's a US 12) shoulders, so she figured I'd never fit into them and gave them all to the charity shop. We still lament over that since my shoulders shrunk back to a AU size 8 with the end of my swimming career 😭. My advice is tell anyone you know how much you love vintage because a lot of my pieces were gifted to me by friends and friends of my mum when they found out I loved vintage. Xx
Oh my, I gave away so much stuff when I started a family. Now , looking at all your lovely pieces, I miss them. It's ok though as I have started a new collection recently as all the chicks have left the nest. You wear your outfits well. They look great.
Oh wow! What a beautiful collection sweetheart.....I love that green jacket. I cannot wait for the next one! Xxx
Glad you liked it! Thanks for the feedback!
What do you eat to stay at your smallest? I am struggling to get into my own vintage, and I’d love to do it in a healthy way. Also your clothes are spectacular what a wonderful collection
I'm vegan and currently a small UK 8. The only difference when I'm a small 6 is that I run 5-10km a day and drink less wine. Xx
I should clarify. It's a wholefoods vegan diet with no added sugars. But I will say I'm naturally a very small framed, muscular person. My muscle density vs fat right now (zero exercise for 6 months) still registers as athlete %. So, I respond very quickly to exercise. It won't necessarily be the same for someone with a different body type. I just wanted to be clear and not advertise diet as the key to being small as it wouldn't be true Xx
Yay! Thank you for the reply!
The dress you are afraid to wash, have you considered dry cleaning it. My father taught me about dry cleaning since that was the family business. Also there are companies that specialize cleaning leather and other clothing items that won’t dry clean well. I doubt you will need special cleaning. Try dry cleaning and see how that pans out. Ask the dry cleaner if the dress you talked about is safe to dry clean to be extra safe.
Love the green suit. So envious. I only have one true vintage piece. Friend of mine gave it to me. I call it my Donna Reed dress. Reminds me of a dress she wears in the Benny Goodman Story. I have another dress that I got from a thrift store that looks handmade. The cut of the dress is very similar to a dress that GR wears in Top Hat. Not sure if its vintage or not. I'm pretty busty so most vintage stuff doesn't fit me
The dress at 6:20 is probably my favourite piece! All of your collection is beautiful though, thanks for the tour😊
The green one? Yeah it's pretty special. I can't wait to finally photograph the blue one that doesn't currently fit me!
The dark purple dress is so amazing! Lovely collection!
Thank you!
8:40- the trim of which you speak is called soutache braiding (pronounced Sue Taash); I think you may’ve mixed up soutache with the veggie succotash- LOL.
LOVE your name MissBeeTown, your accent, (USA 🇺🇸 on this end) and Style!
Haha yes I sure did! Thanks for the correction xx
Beautiful collection, Bee! I especially looove your great grandmother's 1930's sage green dress! 😍✨✨✨✨
It's unusual isn't it!?
Beautiful collection! I would've liked to see how the clothes look on.
althoug I am femaile, I like to watch the channel Gentlemen's Gazette (although my boyfriend is not into their style :-D). they made a rather recent video about cleaning vintage closing. I am not sure right now, if it was titeled like that, because they made a few videos about cleaning cloth recently. in one of them they also talk about the alcohol for cleaning. maybe you can look up some things, try that and maybe later, you could later made a video about cleaning vintage stuff too? would like to see that, as I like your videos anyway. love to watch it all
I really want to do a video on this! I clean a lot of my vintage myself but some materials I'm nervous about destroying as they need special care. Thanks so much for the video tip - I'll go and check them out!
Crepe can be made of rayon, wool, silk, and various blends of those fibers with each other and things like cotton and metal; especially in the 1930s.
That's what I thought from my research years ago! But I was told recently that crepe was just crepe, so I was then unsure of my fabric knowledge. I'm going to go back to what I was saying and be confident I do know what I'm talking about based on all the comments I'm getting about this. I'm confident they're rayon crepe based on washing well but shrinking and steaming back to size.
@@MissBeeTownsend there are too many varieties for crepe to just be crepe. I have a vintage pattern from the 30s that lists 9 different types of crepe. Crepe itself simply refers to a texture
It's soutache, not succotash, but very close!
How do you clean your vintage pieces?
It depends on the garment make and material. I think I'll do a video on it 😄
Absolute perfection!! 😍
Hi there! New follower, and I have a question that hopefully you can answer… how do you
Know if something is “authentic vintage”? Like, how do you know if something actually come from the 40’s? Is it just from years of studying the different brands, etc? Thanks for any help!! 🥰
Hi there! Thanks so much for subscribing! Welcome! I have a whole series on my channel of videos on shopping for true vintage and then I go into more detail in my exclusive Patreon content 😊

That is a lovely collection of vintage pieces. I love the dark forest green jacket with petal lapels. Also the lighter olive toned dress with bead-work. Gorgeous. Such detail in those items of clothing. Enjoyed your video.
Love your 40's dress collections 😍😍😍
Thank you! Me too hehe!
Absolutely love this! Can’t wait to see the rest, especially your performance dresses! And your hair and make up and whole outfit looks beautiful too! Definite hair inspo for the hot weather we’re having right now!
You have such lovely pieces!! I love that green suit 😍
Thank you! Yes, it's very special 😁
Beautiful collection!!!! You look amazing and dont need to change a thing! Lovely pieces!
Beautiful collection! You're so lucky to have heirlooms like those! x
Yes I definitely got lucky! Also lucky that it fits me!
@@MissBeeTownsend Oh absolutely! They look stunning on you!
Loved all of your pieces, and I especially loved the outfit you were wearing!
This was lovely! Can't wait to see the rest!
Thanks for letting me know!
Beautiful collection ❤️ You are so beautiful too! Love your lip color ❤️
I am looking for special sleeve designs and this video gives me a lot of inspiration to sew a dress with unique sleeves. I really like emphasizing these fine details. It would be nice if your camera could stay a bit more on the details to get a feel for the style. Thank you very much for this tour through your wardrobe! The selection dresses you very well and it looks much more beautiful worn than on the hanger what I feel like opening a surprise egg!
Thank you! I will try to offer better shots of the details. 😊
it's wonderful how you have those family heirlooms
Yes, I feel very lucky! And no one else in the family is into vintage so they would have been sold or donated.
this video is amazing, thank you for showing us this beautiful 1940s collection :)
Thanks for commenting! I'm glad you liked it! Xx
GORGEOUS ❤️
Thank you! X
Soutache is the braid - succotash is a food
Yes I've been informed 😂😂😂 My bad!
@@MissBeeTownsend easy mistake to make when they are rather uncommon words in the Australian vernacular! 😂
