Vintage Playsuits and more!

So I came across a article, Seamless Path to Vintage, in the Toronto Star. The article addresses how some clever businesses have been meeting the demand for vintage clothing. As vintage clothing become more and more scarce and fragile, shop owners have been adding reproductions to their shops. It is an interesting article, check it out!  

They also mention an online company called Decades of Style that until now I was not familiar with and they have some lovely patterns.
