This is the book I’ve always wanted to exist! Full of amazing vintage tips, tricks, insight and inspiration—I will always cherish it.


 

The MOST valuable resource on everything you need to know about wearing/collecting/styling/preserving vintage clothing. Suitable for beginners, but also provides helpful tips for those who have been collecting for years. It's a great resource to buy for yourself, but also could be a great gift for a person new to the wonderful world of vintage!

A particular book landed in my mail box yesterday. WOW, M. In all of my years that is one of the best books out there on everything vintage. You hit all of the bases and then some. And oh...oh.....oh.....the PHOTOS!

As a vintage lover, I thought I had read every book on vintage fashion out there. Then I found this gem! If you are a vintage fashion lover, don't question-just buy it!

A wonderful book for all who love vintage. If you are just starting out to wear, collect or sell vintage, this book is a little gem. It is chock full of info and great tips that will help you out in so many ways. I would recommend it to everyone who cares about vintage clothing.

Fantastic book—highly recommended for anyone who loves vintage fashion, wants to get into vintage—or even if you think that vintage isn't for you... this book will change your mind.

A first rate resource for vintage shop owners, like myself, and those new to the world of vintage. I especially enjoyed the photos of the author modeling vintage attire!

Terrific photos, chock full with amazing vintage information and inspiration. I recommend this book to anyone who adores vintage from a novice to an expert. You will love it!

 

Fabulous, fun, and informative book! Maggie's book contains all the information a novice or experienced vintage seeker needs for a better understanding of the importance of vintage condition, how to determine your correct vintage size, and how to properly care for your vintage clothing and accessories. My favorite chapters were “What's Your Vintage-Wearing Persona”, “Figuring Out Vintage Fit and Size”, “Fibers and How to Clean Them” and the chapter on how to clean hats. Lovely photography accompanies the text.

This is a wonderful book! There is something here for everyone —those who are new to vintage and want to know where to start as well as those who have years of experience. The book has wonderful pictures too—you will not regret buying this book!

I'm devouring this book and learning so much!

Encouraging, engaging, descriptive. A beautifully written and fun resource for those who want to wear vintage now and those who wear vintage already. It’s a treat to journey through the vintage clothing expertise and affinity shared in this book. The fabric and care guide is pure gold. “Wear Vintage Now!” could have only been written by a Virgo, and happily – it was!

If you love vintage fashion, then you’ll love this fantastic tome, chock full of instructions for wearing and caring for all of your vintage fashion finds. Included are tips for shopping, proper fit, fabric identification, making alterations, caring for your clothing treasures, and much more—with helpful charts and charming vintage ads throughout. This is soon to be the “go to” guide for vintage fashion aficionados everywhere!

I'm so in love with this book! Beautiful to look through and for those of us that need some hand holding—it gives you everything you need and more to dive into vintage! ❤️❤️❤️

The best book on style, clothing care, and fashion history ever. I bought two as gifts and one for me :)…Thank you Maggie!!!
