I've been working on new designs this week which is why there was no Sustainable Saturday entry yesterday. I just couldn't tear myself away from my drafting table. Os Mutantes has kept me energized through to the weekend.

We will hear this two years from now in a romantic comedy that in no way matches the greatness of this song.

I really, really, really, love vintage. When you wear vintage, not only are you are saving items from being sent to landfills, you are also showing your own individual style. It's a great way to look "designer' when buying "off the rack." I also enjoy the idea of buying a garment that has a history. Which is the reason I LOVE the idea of wearing a vintage wedding gown on your wedding day (it can be your "something old!). And now that we are heading into prime wedding-day season, I wanted to feature a shop that plays host to THE BEST vintage gowns on the internet, Antique Dress. I could honestly spend hours poking around in this shop. This is the-best-of-the-best-pre-1960's vintage clothing site around (have a look, you can find awesome vintage wares other than just wedding dresses). The one issue: a lot of vintage dresses are modern sizes 0 or even 00. I will never have a size 22 waist (nor would I want one--I'm more Joan Holloway rather than Betty Draper) so for my own wedding, I had a vintage reproduction made by a local seamstress.
