I love and live vintage. I was hoping there would be more ideas on styling vintage instead of 'look for this label and check stores like goodwill'. Duh. No how to hair, no telling how to wear certain pieces to get certain looks or how to do makeup with certain styles. they'd say "here's a full skirted look" but don't tell you the type of dress or that you need a petticoat. To me "vintage" doesn't mean dress like you're from the 80s because all that is back in style. This was the most condensed blippit of each decade from the 20s until now [yes, including 80s. i was there, i lived it. i know how to dress for that. :P ]. It's pretty and probably great for the coffee table. The best way I can describe it is giving someone who's never done makeup before a list of makeup and tools to buy, a couple pictures and expecting them to get the look right. I felt like it was a fair waste of money.

This book seemed like the perfect addition to my vintage clothing book collection. I expected it to be packed with information, styling tips and resources to purchase vintage things. Not to mention tons of gorgeous photos. I was especially excited because this was a very of the minute and up to date book.

To be frank I got about 1/10 of what I was expecting. The layout of the book is put together very much like a scrapbook. A lot of it is set up as follows:

The book is open so you have a right page and a left page. Both pages have a pretty background, like scrapbook paper with a pretty print/pattern on it. On the right side is a picture, placed on the page to appear as though it has been pasted in (like in a scrapbook) and on the left side is one regular sized paragraph (say around 5 sentences) explaining the look in the photo on the opposite page. That's not the entire book but that is the style in which much of the book is written/ put together. Even on the pages where there's the most text there are at least three picture on a two page spread.
I thought it was a cute book. I thought it had some nice details and there was some useful information. But there could have been a LOT more.

To be fair, I hate vintage clothing books that are so text heavy you feel like you are reading a text book. But on the same token you can't cut way down on the text and then not load it up with pictures.

It's an inexpensive book compared to many of the other options out there. So if you're not sure if this whole vintage thing is for you, you wanna see what its about with a little light reading and a few VERY pretty pictures, then I highly recommend this book. Otherwise, particularly if you are an experienced vintage guru, I would steer clear of this book unless you are just looking for something cute.

There are great tips for sourcing vintage outfits which look good still today and are often made far better and have lovely material and designs.

Love this book for style tips and history also. The pics of the girls are really good in that they show you just how something looks when on and therefore gives a feeling of "Yes - I could wear that and look good, even today".

Highly recommend

I bought this for my 12-year-old daughter who is heavily into retro fashions, particularly those of the 1940s and '50s. The book has a lovely printed cloth-style cover and the inside illustrations are crisp and colourful. There are a lot of good ideas in the book and there's a handy list of websites for the featured suppliers at the back. My daughter and I both enjoyed this book.

Wirklich toll für alle Vintage Fans,
gibt einen Überblick über die Damenmode der Jahrzehnte von den 20iger Jahren bis zu den 80iger Jahren.
Es wird jeweils Tageslook und Abendgarderobe zum Jahrzehnt vorgestellt.
Tipps zum Einkaufen von echter Vintagekleidung:
woran erkenne ich das ungefähre Alter eines Kleidungsstücks,welche Schnitte,Verschlüsse usw. sind typisch für das jeweilige Jahrzehnt?
Gibt Links von OnlineShops, die hochwertige Vintagekleidung anbieten (britisch, amerikanisch) aber auch welche, die rekonstruierte Vintage Mode verkaufen,tolle Blogs, die sich mit dem Thema befassen. Das Selbernähen von Vintage Kleidung wird nicht besprochen.
Die Fotos sind super, die Gestaltung des Buches ist toll.

gute Englischkenntnisse sind notwendig.
