I don't have collection of vintage dresses but I have a pair of pant, a jewelry box, purse and recently I got a earring. I got all the stuff from my grand mother.
There area some good vintage stores in the Haight-Ashbury that are fun. My closet isn't vintage, somewhere between thrift store and 60% off rack. At least in the Haight and thrift stores I can find Made In USA!
If you do a search on Ebay and preface the item name with "vintage" you will find such items. I already found a vintage vacuum that I had about 35 years before it broke down, as well as a vintage desk lamp that also died. They just don't make appliances like they used to, or where they used to. I also queried vintage London Fog jackets.
I used to try to shop at vintage stores but rarely made any purchases. The clothes just don't really fit my body at all...and I dislike getting things tailored...I do occasionally but consider it a pain. Now if I could find a tailor that would come to my house, that would be different!
I have a few vintage dresses and cardigans that I've gotten from vintage shops over the past few years. I'm not a huge vintage fan, but every now and then I'll see something that I like.
Location: When things get hot they expand. Im not fat. Im hot.

Same here. Size ten and tall. Lots of jewelry and accessories. Youre right about the womens sizes. Have you tried looking at mens. I have a decent amount of mens vintage. Older rayon shirts,bowling shirts, etc . We tall gals can really work a suit jacket or a top coat. Some times I even wear a tie. With lots of big pins of course.
Also check out full length swing coats. They will be too short but if you have them shortened they make perfect 3/4 coats.
