Over the past few months, I have become a bit of an Etsy.com addict. And while navigating Etsy is a bit like walking down U Street at 1:00 AM on a Saturday morning–wading through the weird and creepy in search of a gem–you can find something wonderful if you are willing to search.
One of the site’s best kept secrets is DearGoldenVintage. This well-edited collection of vintage styles is filled with pretty, prim pieces that would add a touch of style and sweetness to any Capitol Hill wardrobe. And unlike many vintage stores on the site, the prices won’t make your eyes bulge out of your head like a cartoon character.
White Mademoiselle Chain Clutch ($25)
I had to save the party dress for last.

Love the necklace, in particular. Any hints for making sure things you buy online will fit?

First, you need to know your measurements. I mean, really know them. Size is a ridiculous concept and it means nothing in vintage, so measurements not size.
Also, ask if you can buy on approval. I always ask to buy something, try it on, and have the option to return it at my cost for shipping. This way, if it doesn’t fit, I can send it back. Most everyone is willing to deal if you ask.

I must have that seller’s 50s polka dot dress. Seriously. It will be mine.
