Buying Vintage: Advice from the Expert
Posted on May 26th, 2010 by Kate. Filed under Wedding Dress.
“I only buy dresses that I absolutely love. That is my one fundamental rule for buying.” Charlie Brear of The Vintage Wedding Dress Company
I can’t get enough of perusing the unique beauties that Charlie houses in her London showroom. Read our exclusive interview with her here, it’s full of great tips for brides who love vintage!
The lace pieces are my favorite. I love the idea of having a dress made of a completely unique fabric. Wouldn’t it be fun to go scouting in relatives’ closets in search great vintage bridal finds?

i love the idea of passing a legacy through a dress, SO ROMANTIC. i’ve found that often vintage dresses are hard to fit modern girls (we tend to be taller, for one thing), so incorporating fabrics into a new dress, or transferring smaller details is another option.
