THE MYSTERIOUS CRAFT OF MANIFESTING TRUE VINTAGE FASHION: FINDERS’ CLUE #22

Finding true vintage fashion items is not rocket science, BUT it does involve many bits of skill, knowledge and experience coming together in order to be really good at it. Each of these clues may seem simple and boring alone, but together they have made a big difference in my overall success. Of course, there are many more details involved with each one, but the basic idea is where to start . . . . . . ..

CLUE #22 – IF THERE’S A LOBSTER CLAW CLASP ON A NECKLACE OR BRACELET, THE JEWELRY IS NOT TRUE VINTAGE, UNLESS A PREVIOUS OWNER REPLACED THE ORIGINAL CLASP.

Here’s a better photo of the beaded tunic I showed about a month ago – transformed from a dress, which had irreparable fading and a stain on the skirt. This photo has much better light for seeing the detail of the decoration.

Mocha-color rayon crepe with iridescent black beads.

The skirt was easy to remove from under the “apron”, without interfering with the side zipper. Easy, also, to finish off the cut edge underneath.

Voila’ – a tunic top for any dressy or avant guarde ensemble. Just thought you’d like to take a better look. . . .
