I pick up a vintage dress and my mind is  immediately filled with thoughts and images of the girl who may have once worn it.  I imagine her with jet black hair, pale skin and hazel eyes, she is in the arms of a handsome man as they dance the night away. She has no mobile phone, no computer, she does not juggle children and work, her life is set in simpler times................... those bygone days. 

With a sigh I draw my thoughts and gaze back to the dress in my hands. I marvel at its beauty, the fine silk material, the delicate hand stitching, the cut and drape of the fabric. I am continually stunned by the beauty of vintage and antique clothing and the quality and workmanship that went into the garments creation. I have never been touched by a modern day piece of clothing the way a vintage piece touches me. 

Am I crazy? I ask myself.  No, I am just passionate. When you wear vintage clothing you feel different, and because you wear vintage clothing  you are different.
