You'll recognise Chelsi, people think she works with us. She doesn't haha. She's an honorary team member though. We'd be lost without her fantastic smile, crazy charisma and helpful nature. Here's what Chelsi had to say. "My love of vintage started when I was about 15, at school and figuring out what to make for my textiles GCSE task. I made a polka dot, 50s inspired halter neck dress and I loved it with all my heart. I never had the confidence to wear it though. I wish I had known then, that nearly 15 years later I'd be frolicking about wearing dresses just like that one. Roll on a few years down the line, I had fallen out of love...
We absolutely knew Sarah had a story to tell once we saw her captivating, creative and colourful photos. We believe everyone can take a note from Sarah's book and have a deeper lust for life.

This made me shy away from dressing how I wanted to begin with. However, I then realised that it made me feel extra confident and beautiful when I wore these outfits. The way they fit me, the way they moved. I loved them. I admit, I really...
Sophie first came to us in 2018. Below is her story. A tale of fashion inspiration and growing to love your true self.I first fell in love with vintage style through quite a strange way. I just naturally felt uncomfortable and when it came to my prom I got a very modern prom dress AFTER TRYING ON BILLIONS. However I just I didn’t fall in love with any of them. I watched a video of Judy Garland in this beautiful red off the shoulder dress and I adored it. I looked online, did a bit of research and found Rockamilly.
