Etsy VFGteam Featured Seller

Today I'm being featured on the Vintage Fashion Guild blog as part of their Etsy VFGteam Featured Seller series! Thanks to the volunteer folks who put together these posts. Check it out here and there's even a shop coupon code good through August at the end.



I was a founding member of the Vintage Fashion Guild and just recently rejoined. It's simply a great organization of members who love vintage. Many members even volunteer their time to creating invaluable resources for clothing labels, fabric guides and even forums where you can chat about your latest thrift shop score or ask the members their help in dating or identifying.

Tomorrow: American Sportswear Workshop

Re-posted from Hanging Out at Vintage Clothesline:

Vintage Fashion Guild Hosts American Sportswear Online Workshop June 23 - 25, 2008

VFG trade member, Lizzie Bramlett of fuzzylizzie.com , will present the second workshop of the VFG's 2008 series beginning on Monday, June 23 and continuing through June 25. If you have never attended one of Lizzie's workshops, then you are in for a treat. A retired teacher and avid vintage sportswear collector, Lizzie invites all attendees to have their sportswear questions ready and even scan their photos of vintage sportswear to share during the event. It is a free workshop on the VFG's public workshop forum.

Here is the Agenda:

June 23-25: American Sportswear

Monday, June 23: The workshop will start with a brief historical overview and go on to discuss bathing suits.

Tuesday, June 24: Lizzie will explain how sportswear evolved in private situations, such as women's colleges and summer camps.

Wednesday, June 25: Day three will be devoted to active sportswear (tennis, bicycling, golf, hiking, skiing) and how active sportswear spilled over into the everyday lives of women. Sportswear greats, such as Claire McCardell, Carolyn Schurner and Tom Brigance, will be mentioned.

Additional VFG workshops are planned in August, October, and December, so stay tuned!

Shocking Schiaparelli

I came across this little article on Else Schiaparelli on FabSugar this week. They also have some great pics!

Fabcon: Elsa Schiaparelli | elsa schiaparelli, Fabcon | FabSugar - Fashion & Style.

Parisian fashion designer of the 1920s and 1930s, Elsa Schiaparelli, was the first to use shoulder pads, animal prints (in 1947), and zippers dyed the same color as the fabric.

Even more info on the designer can be found at The Vintage Fashion Guild's Label Resource.
