| Anyone know of any good places to buy vintage clothing? Not rockabilly, but earlier, say, 1890's through maybe 1920's? It doesn't even have to be all vintage, I guess, but inspired from those eras, and I'd love you forever. | |

| oh god good luck Lisbeth.
Clothes from those eras are nearly/over 100 years old!
If you do find clothing from those eras they'll most likely be reproductions made in later years.
Places that specialize in particular eras will have outrageous prices since they DO have to be the ones that comb through the thrift store, yard sales, estate sales etc. And jst due to the rareity of those kinds of clothes.
You'd be best off just frequenting as many thrift stores and estate/yard sales as you can. Or maybe you can go on ebay or etsy and buy patterns made in those eras?
Much cheaper and easier. |

| Oh and Ebay. I was at Hollywood Boutique in Chicago, and they had a lot of really cute vintage clothing, so maybe check there? | |
