As an experienced knitter, that knit vest is 100% handmade. 🙌🏼 if you buy some wool wash, it can help to soften the wool a bit. Eucalan is my go to. Soak in lukewarm water ~30 mins and lay flat to dry (on a bed or something is perfect).

Carrie ... here's a helpful tip for thrifting when you're "on the go" ---- some years ago my hubs and I took his parents to England for a couple of weeks and took them all around --- we all had such a good time. About a week in London, a cottage in the Cotswolds as a base for a week, a few proper British hotels .... Anyway, my mother-in-law, who is a teeny-tiny little woman (has a hard time breaking 100 lbs on a good day) decided she didn't want to lug all her luggage back home. She boxed up her dirty laundry (she'd packed pretty thoroughly and had purchased a few items, so she had plenty of clothes to wear) and a few souvenirs (she buys a little something for EVERYone) and MAILED it back home!!! Her luggage was oodles lighter, the cost wasn't even as much as checking an extra bag and it took a little longer, but her stuff was dropped off on her front porch when she got home. Genius.

Traid is probably the 'trendiest' charity shop chain in London, and I'm assuming there was so much summer stuff in there because you caught them on a big sale week - they do pretty regular sale periods where pretty much everything is £3-4, often to clear out the backlog! I've found some gems in there!

I know it's too late now but if you find prints when you're thrifting while travelling buy them and redonate the frame (or ask if you can only buy the print) and roll the prints up so you can get them home. You can get a tube at a post office to store in or a thick largr envelope to keep them flat. X

I wonder if that brown dress should be off the shoulder and slide down. It looks like there's a hemline across you chest and I think it should be under the bust.

Soooo I've been looking for a winter coat for months & couldn't find anything that didn't cost a fortune... so after binge watching every single one if your thrifting videos I finally went thrift shopping for the first time in forever & found the most amazing GEM of a wool coat (for so cheap!!!) as soon as I stepped foot in the store 😍 I've always thought thrift stores in New Zealand kind of suck but I think I may have been converted now ❤️

@Shay2theT Жыл бұрын

For the brown dress, try taking a big safety pin and bunching it in the middle of the bust. Kind of cinch it down a bit so it's more of that sweetheart neckline. Hopefully that makes sense and works. I love the idea of getting things tailored but I NEVER get around to actually doing it.

I have SO MANY thrifted pieces that are Mark's & Spencer's 😁 I love a full button through 90's dress like the red one you found. I don't think the neck line is granny looking. You look gorgeous in it. I accessorise mine with lots of necklaces and grunge it up with Dr Martens and a denim jacket. A waistcoat for a real 90's feel would look cute too. Bea ❤

The red/French dress, the only thing I would do is cut off the ties and put a kind of "masculine"-looking leatherish belt instead. The brown polka dot one could probably be taken in at the seam between the sleeve and the bodice to get rid of the excess fabric. I love the speckled vest!😍 Also love the pig in the background ☺!

@17:54 That red dress is GORGEOUS on you, and it actually gives me late '40s / early '50s vibes (even though I know it's much newer than that). Don't alter it! If you wore that with your hair (which is long and very versatile, style-wise) done in a '40s or '50s style, it would be amazing. And if you find a good photographer, you could have a fun vintage-style photo shoot.

London charity shops are very different to a lot of other places in the UK. I used to find quirkier pieces when I lived there, but they’re often very picked over, especially in the trendier areas like Notting Hill, Brick Lane and Camden, and the good stuff is likely to end up being sold at a higher price in a vintage shop. Since I’ve moved to small town Cornwall, the charity shops have completely blown me away. They’re so well stocked they have to turn donations away. Amazing if you like a bit of a grandmacore/cottagecore vibe too.
