Vintage Vision

If you're in South Wales and into vintage clothing, you should visit Vintage Vision, a social enterprise  based in Blaenavon that sources vintage clothing and turns the profits into schemes to support and empower local women.  They helped me - it was thanks to their free sewing classes that I was able to rescue my Downton Abbey dress.  A few weeks ago they held another sale to clear some stock, which after attending the last one I was excited to attend, so I popped along to my old Guide Hall in Abergavenny to rummage through their rails.

That pink trouser and top set was tiny, else I'd have nabbed it and pretended I was in 'I Dream of Jeannie'

Another gorgeous dress on the right, with another teeny-tiny waist.

I tried on a few things, but nothing really made me feel amazing enough to buy it.  The colour of this gorgeous mid-century blue silk jacket and dress attracted me.  It fit nicely, but there was just something about it that made me feel a bit frumpy in it, and I wasn't prepared to risk £65 on it.  So I left it there.  The only purchase I made in the end was a fun '60s hat which will debut on the blog soon I'm sure.

If you aren't in South Wales then you can buy at their online shop here instead!
