Sick of cheap, wasteful, disposable fast fashion? Learn how to shop for vintage clothing and accessories and build a more sustainable, stylish closet.

In this indispensable guide, anyone who buys or wears women's clothing will learn how to:

● Sort trash from treasure

● Fix minor flaws—and spot major ones

● Find your ideal silhouette (including tips for plus-size shoppers)

● Alter and repurpose garments

Buying older clothing means getting beautiful pieces that are built to last, without contributing to sweatshops or landfills—but only if you know what to look for. Let a vintage clothing expert guide you to ethical fashion bliss!
