incredibly expensive. But one solution is very popular

DEFINITIONS
What exactly is vintage fashion?
It is really a term for old or second-hand clothes.
Antique clothes are clothes from before the 1920s.
Vintage clothes are clothes from the 1920s to the
1960s. Why is vintage fashion so popular today? The
first reason is probably nostalgia, but the second one
is the current financial crisis. Everyone wants to save
money, and vintage fashion is perfect for this. You can
find beautiful new dresses at low prices.
TRENDY
Vintage fashion has also become trendy, thanks to
celebrity models like Kate Moss. Actresses like
Sienna Miller and Julia Roberts have worn vintage
dresses on the red carpet. But these vintage dresses,
from designers such as Valentino and Coco Chanel,
are not cheap: they can cost more than 1,000 (one
thousand pounds). TV series like Mad Men and Pan
Am have also made 1950s vintage dresses very
popular.
A QUESTION OF STYLE
What can you find at a vintage fashion fair? Look out
for dresses in the 1920s flapper style, glamour from
the 1950s and modern classics from the 1960s. There
is also a wide variety of accessories, including hats,
shoes, gloves and jewellery. Matthew Adams
organises Frock Me! another popular vintage
fashion fair. He says the shows give you a chance to
spot stylists, models, fashionistas and film stars. Price
start at a few pounds, so there is something for
everyone. Collectors will pay a lot more. The value of
vintage clothes depends not only on the designer, but
also on who wore the dress and on what occasion.
BUT
What are the dangers of buying vintage clothes?
Standard sizes on label are often different from
todays measurements. So try on the clothes. Check
the stitching, the material, and for stains and missing
buttons. And never hang a 1920s dresses with beads:
the weight of the beads will tear the dress material.
