Zegna Sweater Care

I got a vintage 90’s Ermenegildo Zegna sweater for my birthday last year and I’m pretty sure it’s mostly wool. Can someone tell me how I’m supposed to care for it? This is the care label :) Sorry if this is a stupid question, I’m pretty new to this.

What hairspray should I use?

Hi y’all, I’m in dire need of a new hairspray! I have pretty thick + straight hair and am a vintage girlie, so I often do it like it’s the 60s. The styles fall quickly even though I tease my hair, add pins and use countless layers of the This Is A Medium Hairspray by Devine’s. I know that AquaNet was popular back then, but the formula they use nowadays just isn’t the same. Does anyone have any good options with strong hold that won’t make my hair too crunchy? No price limit. Thanks in advance!💞

Found this Miss Sixty Fallen Angel top

Honestly, this is the wildest find I’ve ever scored (through Depop) and knowing how rare it is makes it even better. No joke, I want to be buried with it.

Anne of Green Gables style?

I (22f) have always been enamored with vintage fashion, wearing vintage 50’s everyday of highschool, but as I’ve grown older I strayed away. I’m moving out soon and I want to indulge myself in my guilty pleasure of late 1800’s fashion. I can’t help but watch Anne of Green Gables and wish I could wear a dress and apron so here’s my question- does anyone else enjoy this era of clothing? Any suggestions of where I could shop? (I’m a seamstress but I’d like to buy a couple pieces too). And… would it be weird to wear?

Overwhelmed, need to clear out some clothes, advice?

Hi all, I have a couple boxes worth of vintage clothes and accessories that I cannot keep. There are varying ages, sizes, and styles. The process of measuring, photographing, posting and waiting if/when they sell is very overwhelming to me (it’s been a very difficult year). There aren’t any vintage or consignment stores in my area buying at the moment, no local theaters, and local thrift stores end up throwing a majority of donations away. I don’t want the items to end up in a landfill. Is there a reasonable place to either sell in bulk or donate (that won’t end up with a bunch tossed)? Thanks for your advice!

What came first, the vintage fashion or the disability?

Sincerely, Female, 1950s-80s, POTS and (potentially) hEDS.

In all seriousness though I've noticed a very large portion of people who I know who are into vintage fashion, as well as content creators are disabled and it's just the silliest thing to me. Like I have NEVER seen communities overlap to such a degree.

Where to start with Victorian/Edwardian?

I really love Victorian/Edwardian/turn of the century fashion and want to start incorporating the silhouettes into my normal wardrobe, eventually I’d love to dress period accurate head to toe, but for right now just want to implement some elements into my every day.

I know my best bet is to sew my own stuff, but don’t know where to start. I am also curious if anyone has good store recs for premade items? Or good mid-plus size patterns?
