Here’s Malvina’s Tips For Shopping the Vintage Fashion Expo…from Retro Magazine’s “Tip Tray”. She’s a pro. The only tip I have to add is…
11. If you are looking for vintage cowboy boots, you’ll need to look high and low…literally! I usually find the boots sitting on the floor under a clothes rack’s lowest rod, half buried under a pile of circle skirts (or some other 1950’s garment of sizable yardage)…OR look up!…the boots will be on the top shelf disguised as hat stands (again, half covered up). If you plan on wearing them it’s always polite to ask the vendor the approximate size of a boot before dismantling their elaborate displays.
