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:

- Avoid overpaying
- 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
- Care for delicate vintage fabrics

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!
