Storage tips for your vintage clothing from Vicki's Vintage at Antique World Mall: 
Keep items with thin or fragile shoulder areas folded over by the waist or shelved. Gravity pulls on hung items,
eventually causing hanger bumps.
Keep clothes away from light if they're not being worn. Ultraviolet light deteriorates fabric over time.
Don't ever store vintage items in plastic bags or containers. Natural fibers expand and contract with changing
temperatures, and if they are trapped in plastic, they can't breathe.
Don't hang knits. Because they're stretchy, gravity has a greater effect on them. Fold knits and place them on shelves.
Don't let worn clothes go unwashed. Even invisible stains (like perspiration) will show up after many years.
If you don't allow the stain to set, it won't leave any trace.
Vicki's Vintage evolved out of a love of purses and vintage clothing. The focus is on the 1950s and 60s, with clothing and purses that reflect the style of fashion icons Jackie O, Audrey Hepburn, and Grace Kelly. The current collection features coats, dresses, suits, and separates with labels such as Lill Ann, Bonnie Cashin, Burberry, St. John, Courreges, Miss Elliette, and other prominent designers of the 50s and 60s. The purse collection offers a wide assortment of summer purses including jeweled burlap purses by Collins of Texas, Kelly style purses, rattan, and evening purses. The booth also contains a general line of antiques including furniture, china, art, and vanity items. Please visit us at Antique World Mall to view our selection of vintage clothing, handbags, and many other fabulous finds.
