\"Vintage<\/p>\n

A few years ago I knew little about clothing care<\/a>, let alone how to care for my special vintage garments.<\/p>\n

After having worn it one sweaty summer’s day, I threw my favorite<\/em> vintage romper into the washer and dryer. It emerged completely shrunken and not nearly as bright in color as when I first bought it.<\/p>\n

I never bothered to look at the material on the tag, or ask the vintage seller how she thought I should wash it. On top of that, I wasn’t aware that most vintage garments should be hand washed in general to avoid damage such as shrinkage, color run and general wear and tear.<\/p>\n

So as inspired by my personal experiences (and so you can learn from my mistakes!), here are 12 supplies I use and which I believe every woman should own to properly care, clean, store and mend her vintage clothing for long-lasting, damage free wear!<\/p>\n

Knowing how to care for your vintage clothing garments means they’ll remain in your wardrobe for years to come, and not doomed for the trash like my ex-favorite romper was.<\/p>\n

What’s your vintage care and clean secret? Do you own a product that’s not listed here?<\/p>\n
