Hi.
Over the past couple of years, I've been trying to lose weight.
Unless it's something I really need, I've been going to charity shops to buy clothes as I shrink.
I've still got about 50lb or 23kg to lose so I don't want to lash out and buy new as it will be a waste.
At a modern size 14, I've become a fan of vintage clothing, look out for the real old stuff and have been to a couple of vintage fairs.
However, online and in life, the dealers seem to have loads of blouses, dresses, jackets and coats, but little by way of trousers.
I understand that women rarely wore trousers until the 70s, but even then, I can't find any trousers except from the 80s and 90s.
as an aside, the 80s are now vintage. I feel old
Are there any vintage fans who know where all the trousers suits and jeans are?
Size 14 is roughly size 16 or size 18 depending on the decade.
