Vintage Fashion Fair

As we have been asked to look deep into the era's we are researching, I visited a vintage fashion fair in Gloster. It turned out to be a bit of a disappointment as it wasn't as big as I would have liked. Although I did get some photographs of some vintage pieces.

What I was noticing when looking around was that the bulk of the vintage garments were either hand made, or Marks and Spencer. I just selected a variation of garments and I hope that the next one I go to I am able to purchase some vintage magazines, which is what I had gone for.
I am also hoping to find some jumble sales, to see what I can I find there.

Garments I photographed:

Old Marks and Spencer label. 

This 1960/70's blouse was form Marks and Spencer originally. 

This dress had a 1960's feel to it with is flouncy sleeves this is why I picked it out. 

This was a vintage Marks and Spencer Dress. 

This dress is a Marks and Spencer dress, and I have picked it out as I thought it had a very classic shape to it  and could be early 1960's before the length of skirts began to get shorter.

When I picked this garment out I thought it was going to be a classic short floral 1960's piece however it was a lot longer than I had anticipated.

This is a handmade wedding dress, I picked this out as I really liked the cape, I also found the style interesting as there isn't much flesh on show which is really quite different to the style of strapless wedding dresses which are very common today.
