Need help!!!

[stella]

Ladies,
I need your help. I can no longer wear skirts as I can not wear nylons at this time (thanks to "the heartbreak of psoriasis") and am now in need of pant suits.
I want to stick with vintage but do not know where to turn. I am open to suggestions re: what era--I like the 40's but I have limited knowledge.
the place I shop at has skirts suits. very limited on the pants suits. I live in New England but am willing to travel to NY.
May also be heading to the SF area to visit relatives.

Thanks for all your help!

Hi Stella!

I don't know of anywhere you can get vintage ones, but maybe you could get trousers from somewhere that makes repros, like revamp? http://www.revampvintage.com

Try www.ballyhoovintage.com. It's fantastic and very reasonable.......
If you can be bothered with the hassle with overseas shipping, www.vivienofholloway.com (or co.uk, I can't remember) does some great repro 40's high waisted slacks and pinafore fronted trews, and she makes them in practically any color, so all you need do is find a matching jacket! Easy!
Good Luck!
Lori

Do you sew? Folkwear has a nice pair of pants.

Thank you for your suggestions, each website has beautiful clothes. Well, I am off to study for exams for the next 2.5wks.

Hope everyone enjoys their holidays!
