Some people just have no idea...
I think some of the comments that come off as rude, are really just because people don't know much about vintage. I take it for granted that people know what I mean when I say 'vintage.' I remember the first time someone complimented me on a 50s dress and I said "oh, thank you. It is vintage." They said "Wow! Did you make it?" and before I could think I just blurted out, "No! How old do you think I am!?!" Obviously a misunderstanding...
