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.
