Select Shopping | V for victory for the vintage vanguard

If you find yourself first in line at flea markets and crossed-eyed from scrolling through page after page of retro threads on Etsy.com, you may know too well the feeling of discontent when you sadly discover that the frock-of-your-affection is spotted with moth-holes, or heaven forbid not your size. Sigh and sob no longer, as there may be a saviour. With vintage reproduction fashion adopting more authentic designs and fabrics, vintage aficionados can now find the perfect full-skirt or bullet-bra at various vintage-inspired stores around Copenhagen.

Femme Fatale
They say it’s what’s on the inside that counts, but when it comes to dressing vintage, it’s what’s underneath. The right undergarment can truly take a silhouette from 2013 back to 1953. From corsets to crinolines, girdles to gloves, and a new range of plus-size stockings and dresses, centrally located Femme Fatale has everything a gal needs to fill their delicates draw.
