What are your favorite vintage thrifting finds?

Thrifting vintage fashion is different every time. Sometimes you come on a good day, sometimes not. Sometimes you find the best piece but it's too small or sometimes you manage to snag something undervalued.

Sometimes you might get something kind of meh but you end up using it all the time! What has been your favorite find?

I found at a garage sale a very dusty and fragile dress from the Victorian era. Because I'm a seamstress, I took the entire dress apart and made LOTS of notes and created a pattern from it. Then I busied myself repairing it and putting it back together. Before the insanity of 2020 started I was working on making my own dress based on it.

I had to sell a bunch a few years ago.

The stuff that didn't sell I got back. That's was kinda good, though the best stuff was gone.
