05~05~19: East London Vintage Kilo Sale

£2.50 entry + £14 for clothes

If you’ve never been to a kilo sale before, essentially how they work is you fill up a bag of clothes and instead of them being priced individually, you pay by the kilo. I think at this sale it was around £15 per kilo – it’s also worth remembering that just because it says ‘kilo’ in the title it doesn’t mean you have to buy a kilo. You just pay for the weight of your items. So, if you’re clever and realise that you’ll be able to pick up more lighter items for a kilo than heavier items, you could come away with lots of blouses and scarves for £1 or less each!

Embroidered floral cotton jumper

~Flowers have always been a visual source that I have referenced in everything from my photography and graphic design work to my wardrobe. I don’t really know why I have such a strong affinity with them, but I do know why I had to have this jumper. When you scour vintage stores or charity shops, it can be hard to find jumpers that aren’t super itchy. This beauty is made from cotton yarn so is an absolute dream to wear. Aside from that the design of the flower embellishments is just so pretty and I love how it continues onto the back.

Stripy 70s-esque jumper

~I get a lot of clothing inspiration from the seventies, and so this beige and white vertically striped jumper just felt like a classic seventies piece that I needed in my wardrobe.

Hand-painted skirt

~So, when I picked this skirt up the elastic waistband was not only too big but was coming apart. But I loved the fabric too much to leave it, so it became a project. I unpicked the old waistband casing and made a new one, inserting new elastic (who says A Level Fashion isn’t useful?). I love how it turned out, now I’ve just got to figure out how to style it.

Thrift Flip: Copying a Dress!

Hi pals! This is my newest video, where I took a thrifted dress, cut it apart, used the pieces to make a pattern, and used another thrifted garment for fabric to make a new version of the dress!
