Lovely Vintage Finds from Copenhagen
Some beautiful dresses and accessories that I picked up on our trip to Copenhagen.. I was lucky enough to stumble in when they had their sale on Kitsch Bitch! A gem of a vintage store, that lays on Læderstræde 30. A street that runs right along Strøget, the most well known shopping street in the down town area. So it should be really easy to find, even if it's your first time in town.. The store is crammed with all sorts of vintage goodies and I absolutely recommend a visit if you're in town! I know I'll most certainly be back for more treasures, next time I AM in town:)

The Perfect Vintage Dress
I've been trying to find THE vintage dress for some time now, but allways find that they are way to tiny for me. Seems like the girls were just so much smaller back then.. It's the same with a lot of the vintage clothes out there. Everything cute, with a waist and arms.. Leaving me to feel like Big Foot or a tall warrior amazone, desperately wanting to fit into a childs dress at the best:/
I don't have a 25" waist and will never get it, also there's no choice starving myself for it. I don't want to look like a walking skeleton, even if it means that I can wear pretty dresses. Not a bad word about skeltons though, I love skeltons! Where's is a good, old, deasant, Alice shrink tonic when a gal needs it?
But there is hope, even for tall girls like me.. Some time ago I came across a shop on Ebay, Dressit which can tailor any dress for you. All you need is a photo of it. The best part is that it doesn't cost more than what a nice dress would cost if you buy it in a regular store!
The seller is top rated on Ebay. After reading the customer reviews, I also feel confident that they know what they are doing and that they deliver quality dresses. They have plenty of satisfied customers to show to, which should make it pretty safe to order from them in my oppinion. There's allways a risk by ordering online, but I think it's well worth it as I can get something I wouldn't be able to get otherwise!
What is you experience with vintage clothes? Have you found that perfect vintage dress yet??
Here's some gorgeous vintage dresses from my wish list, that I'll sadly never fit into, but to drool over! Most of them from the fabelous Etsy store, Timeless Vixen. A store packed with beautiful vintage dresses. And also from Thirteen Bees Vintage:
