Finding everyday-wearable vintage clothing can be work. It often requires some serious digging. So much digging in fact, that ofttimes when that hanger is before you, when that awesome jacket is dangling in your face like a grape on a vine or the material of that blouse is in your blistered hands, you realize you have missed your child’s first birthday. For those of you who have ever exited a thrift store and felt a sinking feeling like life has passed you by, here a few lovely online retailers that do vintage-inspired clothing that are brand new. The dress doesn’t have the story or the small stain or quite the volume of romance, but it fits you and you don’t spend your whole life looking for it.
Sweet, reasonably-priced, frolic-worthy. Anthropologie-esque without the pricetag. Retro-chic aplomb with cute collars, tasteful little babydoll dresses, and whimsical accessories. Grown-up and pastel all at the same time. Saturated with natural beauty appeal that makes a girl want to carry her heels as she walks barefoot in the grass.

Quirky, unique, inspiring. Selections of clothing inspired by every era, with a small vintage section that sells out nearly instantaneously. Playful patterns and clothing designs for all shapes and sizes. Dedication to featuring independent and up-and-coming designers. Awesome clear-out sales for those who stay tuned. Neat interactive features to put together wishlists and participate in choosing which samples will go into production. A very be-yourself feel promoting clothing with wearable personality.

Edgy, frenetic, bold. Dramatic cuts, oversized jackets and sweaters, chunky shoes, bright colors. Playful and stylish. Bohemian while maintaining polish.
