Vintage Pants are Modest - Part 2

A follow up to my previous post {you can read it here - 1} that will show more options for vintage enthusiasts.

Reproduction companies will charge and arm and a leg and yet they don't cater to the XXS/XS or the XL/XXL. It can be difficult for the 23" waist to get a pair of jeans to fit snug enough not to fall down on them, that would be mortifying. Or that thicker waisted gals, much like myself have taken notice that companies have shrinking their sizes or have eliminated them altogether, making less options for the plus size. It is something I've become more and more aware of as time goes on.

There is companies who doe custom work and I can speak from experience that a custom piece in your wardrobe will make you feel like a million bucks. I have a repro 1930s overalls custom made for me and it makes my waist look soooo tiny.

My overalls were custom made by Cyd's Custom Pieces on etsy. The same etsy store makes these Katherine Hepburn inspired trousers as well and look at that lovely super high waist!!

SomethingElse Clothing also offers custom work for swing pants and they come in all shades of colors. I even love that cuff on the hem. So cute!

Dolly Pegs Vintage is a company on etsy and ebay who offer custom made denim overalls, suspender pants, and trousers in either a cloth kit you can sew up yourself at a lower price or the option for them to sew them up and ship them out to you after they finish.

Time Machine Vintage, who is a long time standing custom work, repro clothing store on etsy. Many have purchased from them and though the price is steep, at least you get it custom to your body and it isn't some cookie cutter piece.

My final shop featured is Big Beautiful Barbara Brown. Who is well known for her beautiful pieces done for plus sizes, but don't worry slender lasses, she also does custom work and will tailor your trousers {or dress and blouses} to your exact measurements.

All of these options are obviously modest and cute as can be. They can be on the pricey side, but I think every women needs to invest in at least one custom piece in her wardrobe. And if it fits you wonderfully, flatters your figure, and its your favorite style, you'll find scads of ways to wear it.


My next post on Vintage Pants are Modest I will share with you some patterns that are affordable and are definitely modest.
