Women or men would go to a tailor with the latest fashion they wanted copied, and the tailor would make it for them at an incredibly reduced price — simply because it didn’t have the designer name on it.

Theoretically you could do this today and wouldn’t need dupes, nor would you have to worry about what size you are or how much money you had, so long as you could pay the tailor.

Because, more or less, the form of clothing hasn’t changed much since the 1960s, I think you could easily get away with wearing exact copies of 60s clothes.

You might appear exotic, but I think you’d be very well-dressed exotic.

The thing about the 60s, though, is that there weren’t stretchy fabrics. So I think if you really wanted to embrace the silhouettes, you’d have to keep in mind not to use fabrics that can stretch.

I really love your website, it’s really cool and a great way to get more knowledge about vintage styles. I’m writing a paper for a fashion class and was wondering where you got your sources or have any recommendations of other sites or articles I should check out.

Thanks!!
