Etsy Finds – replicca
Etsy and eBay are my favourite places to be online so no surprises that i bring you another interesting find from Etsy.
Replicca sells handmade garments in their own original designs and what i love about their pieces is the familiarity of vintage wear, in the fabrics used and some of the silhouettes.

I’ve been seeing alot of vintage ‘inspired’ clothes and most of them are disappointing. I reckon using a floral fabric does not equate to it being a vintage dress. What i love about vintage wear is the cut and curves of it. Well of cos alot of times, the dresses i get off eBay don’t fit me like second skin but after simple alterations, it hugs my body where it should. And this is what i find is lacking in alot of clothing these days. This one entry on decades and body types by the lovely Rhiannon of Liebemarlene Vintage taught me a little more on the different eras of vintage wear. I still get confused but i guess little by little, i’d get the hang of it.
