Cover it Up
Maybe you didn’t notice the small hole, tear, or stain when you bought that vintage item, but all of a sudden you feel like there is a neon arrow pointing out that damage. So what’s a girl to do?There are lots of ways to camouflage any fashion emergency with these tools in your arsenal:
- Silk scarf
- Wide belt
- Large pendant
- Brooch or Pin
You can make a great cover up by being creative with any one of those accessories, or for a more subtle approach at hiding vintage clothing damage you can try:
- Rolling up the sleeves
- Bringing up the hemline(s)
- For shirts: wear under sweater, jacket, etc.
- Adding an appliqué
If it’s a stain that’s got you down, try using a gentle stain remover like the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, or Oxy Clean Wipes (be sure to spot test first, and NEVER use on fabrics like silk, satin, or suede).
