{"title":"The Vintage Bundt Cake","description":"\u003cp\u003eI have always been a clothing thrifter. It's in my DNA (my father's side), and I spent much of my childhood visiting farm sales (again, my father's side) and learning about clothes (my mother's side—she was a fashion designer and seamstress in Germany.) As a pre-teen, I sewed my own clothes in 4-H, and when I was a teen, I hit all the weird stores and tucked, hemmed, and tied men's clothes to fit my wardrobe. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs farmers, we didn't have a lot of money, and clothes were not so much a luxury, as a necessity, but I had a burning need to be creative with my clothes, to not just wear the jeans and sweaters everyone else was. I devoured fashion magazines (at the library), I tore out any and all images that grabbed me and pinned them on the pink gingham foam board my mother made me as a Christmas gift and that hung in my bedroom. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMy mother didn't take us to thrift stores—it wasn't her thing, but my sister, brother and I only had $50 to spend at TJ Maxx for school clothes every year, and although this was the 1990's and clothes weren't that expensive, you had to be creative with that little money. I learned to mix and match and pair. I learned to accessorize the old from my father's closet with the new from my own. My mother was a stickler for quality in her own work, so I knew good workmanship was worth a little more. I knew what made me feel good and what looked good on me. I made it work. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFast-forward to now. I'm a mother, a photographer, and a hydro-fit instructor. I still have my own style. I have 2 children but I'm not falling prey to the mom wardrobe. I live in the \"Gold Coast\" a wealthy part of the Northeast that has wonderful finds in their thrift stores and estate sales. I'm fortunate. The quality of the clothes I find are high—many times, couture; the care is top notch—these women took the time and effort to maintain their possessions; the stories abound—89, 104, these women lived long, colorful and rich lives and I love to gather their essence and their clothes and share them with others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI find the clothes. I wear the clothes. I share the clothes. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWelcome to The Vintage Bundt Cake.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"70s-black-floral-twisted-strap-sundress-by-talbots","title":"70's Black Floral Twisted Strap Sundress by Talbots","description":"\u003cp\u003eAloha from the East Coast! \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHistory lesson along with a little story: \"The Talbots\" stores were founded in New England by Rudolf and Nancy Talbot in 1947.  I have to imagine the couple vacationed in Hawaii to escape the long, cold winters here, and I can just see Nancy turning to Rudolf as they lounged on the beach and staying, \"Darling, we really need to stock some Hawaiian dresses like the Malia frocks here. They're so pretty and functional.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd he (staring off into the Pacific,) replying, \"Consider it done, Nan. As soon as we get back stateside. Now would you please put some more sunscreen on my back? I'm feeling a bit hot between the shoulder blades.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll speculation on my part of course, but it's entirely possible that this is how this particular dress was manifested. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt looks exactly like a Malia dress! The Hawaiian flowers, the silhouette, the built-in bra, the fabric waist tie, yet there is no Malia tag and no Malia signature on the fabric, so I'm not calling it a Malia, I'm just saying...if you like Malia, you might like this dress.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHey, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and if you're going to be copied by someone, it might as well be Rudolf and Nancy Talbot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eZips up the back with a Talon (metal pull) nylon coil zipper. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEstimated size: small\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeasurements (in inches, taken flat, doubled when necessary)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBust: 34\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnderarm to waist: 7. 5\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWaist: 27\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHips: Free\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLength: 37\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor reference, mannequins measures: 34, 25, 35. 5\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMy measurements: 34, 27, 38\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCondition: Perfect\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e*Oopsie Daisies include: None\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e*Just between you and me and the cyber lamppost:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVintage clothes have stories. Stories from decades past of: a girl laughing so hard, she spills her punch; or dancing so furiously, she rips a seam; or pulling her friend out of the way of a fist fight and dropping cake on her skirt in the process. We love vintage because of the tales of times gone by, what we don't love are the stains, scars, and casualties of such events. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYet they are inevitable. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI try my hardest to spiffy up the clothes I've rescued, but sometimes I can't. Or won't because it's not worth the risk of losing or ruining the item all together.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo let's make a deal: I'll be as honest as possible in divulging all the oopsie-daisies and you be as understanding as possible in realizing that oopsie-daisies are part of the vintage life. Take a close look at the photos. If you see a flaw I haven’t mentioned—ask. Maybe it’s a shadow, maybe it’s a stain I missed. It happens. Let’s talk before the sale because I can’t reimburse for repairs, alterations, cleanings, etc. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow put on your new garment, go dancing, singing, and trading flirty eyes with the cutie who's been making your heart jump all evening.

I was going to keep this one, in fact, as you can see by the last photo, I wore it on our vacation to Montreal this summer. I'd just bought it and I was so in gah with it, that I packed it. Plus, it begged to be shown off after probably being in someone's closet for way too long. I'm glad it got to see and be seen, and I'd wear it again next summer, but we're hosting an Chinese exchange student in a few weeks and I have to give up the rack space in the guest bedroom so up for sale it goes. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThings I can vouch for:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-It's incredibly soft and comfortable to wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-So many options for belts and both loops are intact and ready to be used!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-It goes great with a crop blue cashmere sweater for those colder Canadian summer nights. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-It very much enjoys art, although it felt a tad embarrassed at its simpleness at the recent Thierry Mugler exhibit (then again, what 1950's sundress wouldn't?).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis dress is the epitome of a simpler time.

I was also in 4-H and used to sew so I'm wondering if this was perhaps a 4-H project...if THAT'S how she convinced her mother to let her buy the LA fabric and make it herself. If so, I do hope she won a blue ribbon for her project because she did a fine job indeed and I'm certain this skirt was in constant rotation. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow do I know this is Laura Ashley fabric? I'm fortunate to live in an area rich with Laura Ashley's so I've done a bit of research. One time, I got into a discussion with someone on the Vintage Fashion Guild message boards who claimed LA never had insects in her designs. \"Ummm, yes, she did,\" I replied and was able to provide screenshots with proof. Thus, imagine my surprise when not a month later I was perusing the racks of a thrift store and found this little white darling. Ah-ha! No tag, but definitely a Laura Ashley print—complete with insects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you're a LA fan, you'll recognize her style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo, if you're interested in a sweet little lovingly homemade LA fabric skirt, this one is in excellent condition and just begging to be paired with some cute shoes and worn out and about again. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e*White top not included. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"the-vintage-bundt-cake","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36199532200089,"sku":"TVB114","price":52.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0118\/0132\/9723\/products\/il__pjah83ie1_fullxfull.2257235370_3f6w-3.png?v=1600917357"},{"product_id":"80s-sweet-and-frilly-pastel-dress-by-razooks","title":"80's Sweet And Frilly Pastel Dress by Razooks","description":"\u003cp\u003eMeasurements:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBust: 40\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnderarm to waist: 8 1\/4\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWaist: 35\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHips: 40\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLength: 43\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor reference, mannequins measures: 34, 25, 35. 5\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMy measurements: 34, 27, 37\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCondition: Excellent Vintage Condition\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e*Oopsie Daisies (other than age appropriate wear) include: None.

So every time our girl put the skirt on, she'd feel a sense of excitement and belonging and fitting in and being cool. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI like both stories because they involve someone wanting something they couldn't have the traditional way so they got creative and made it happen another way.
