Pro tip: The thrift store dress vs the new one, I learned the hard way in Tulsa
I spent $60 on a brand new dress for a wedding last June and it fit weird, then I grabbed a $7 one from Goodwill on a whim and it was perfect. The difference was the fabric, the new one was stiff polyester, the vintage one had actual give. Now I always hit thrift stores first for anything with a zipper, has anyone else found that older clothes just fit better?

Question the idea that older clothes always fit better, because I've had the total opposite happen plenty of times. Half the stuff at Goodwill is stretched out, shrunk, or cut for some body type from 1985 that isn't mine. I bought a vintage denim jacket once that looked great on the rack and then the sleeves hit my elbows like I was wearing a kid's coat. Talk about that polyester dress all you want but at least new stuff has a size chart you can trust and a return policy when it looks bad. Thrift stores are a gamble, sometimes you win seven bucks, sometimes you waste a Saturday digging through junk.
