spent the past few months collecting vintage knits, summer and winter. Mostly 70s and 80s. Really hard to find good ones. Took out so many shoulder pads...lol
It’s so hard to find good quality clothes. Even the expensive stuff these days is often rubbish quality, the price is just paying for a name and not substance. It’s good the knits have been found by a person who appreciates them.
it's hit and miss
I just spent a fair bit buying a robe at peter alexander, it fit ok in the store but wearing it at home it's heavy and it doesn't sit right. I won't be wearing it 🤷♀️
It seems 2 out 3 new garments are crap , which I suppose is a good argument for buying good quality vintage
