I still have the dress I wore on the first date with my husband, which was more than 66 years ago. I still have it, and it still fits.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When I decided to get married at 40, I couldn't find a dress with the modernity or sophistication I wanted. That's when I saw the opportunity for a wedding gown business.
I just love vintage. I have far too many vintage dresses.
What I always loved about vintage clothes is that you let the woman who wore it before you live on in some way.
I have an amazing 1930s dress I picked up in Toronto at Cabaret on Queen West. It's a red knee-length tea dress, and it's absolutely beautiful. It makes me happy every time I put it on.
My fancy dress costume of choice is... something 1920s or 30s, when there was still so much elegance and attention to detail. An excuse for ultimate dressing-up indulgence.
I still like my antique clothes.
I started dressing vintage when I was a teenager because I didn't have money for designer clothes.
I wore my same look for six years. My hat and glasses - people recognize me now.
I like vintage dresses that I can just slip on.
A 1920s dress I wore on my 21st birthday... literally disintegrated on me. I had the most wild debauched night. And that disintegrated dress sits in my closet - such a great memory.
