I actually love the idea that this dress has lived more of a life than I have.

Vintage fashion is a huge trend in the UK. There are vintage fairs all around the country, a vintage lifestyle magazine called Vintage Life and now a television show. This Old Thing is a how-to in the world of vintage – how to choose, how to repair, and how to wear. There’s also a lot of talk about sewing.
What I have been able to see of This Old Thing looks entertaining and informative. Unfortunately it’s not distributed in the US, but you can find a few segments on YouTube.
