The best feeling when vintage shopping is finding an item in my size. Since vintage items are usually one of a kind they’re either hit or miss when it comes to fitting. But as an avid shopper, vintage or new, the worst feeling has to be finding my size and then finding that size does not fit.
Not only do you have to pass on a great item, but you leave feeling you’ve packed on a few pounds…even if you really have not.
The good news is you probably haven’t gained weight. The bad news is…our generation overall has.
