An update to my about me!
My name is Liz and I am the lady behind Advantage In Vintage. I have been trading in vintage since I was 17 and this has developed from a passion for all things old. My personal collection focuses on pieces from the 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s although I will quite often step outside this parameter when something has a particularly interesting print! I have what I believe to be the second largest collection of Horrockses dresses (over 70 on the last count) and I also collect other key British read-to-wear brands of the 40s and 50s, with particular focus on Susan Small, Blanes, Alice Edwards, Sambo, Rhona Roy, California Cottons and Victor Josselyn although this list is by no means exhaustive (if you have any garments by these brands do feel free to contact me)! Via Advantage In Vintage I sell garments and accessories from Victorian to Modern. If I think it is interesting enough I will sell it!
I’ve just completed my MA in History of Design at the RCA. My dissertation focused upon my passion for Fashion History entitled ‘London Before it Swung: British ready-to-wear under the Model House Group and Fashion House Group 1946-66.
Rather excitingly I have also just finished a book (written with my lovely friend Naomi...see below!) My book Style Me Vintage: accessories is now available to pre-order and will be retailed in all good bookshops from September! If you would like more information about the book please do contact me.
I sell not only items from my own collection, but I also often sell for other people. Many items come from the collection of Naomi Thompson distinguished stylist and all round amazing lady of second-hand. Naomi is author of Style me vintage: Clothes and often items sold here will have been featured in her book.

Photographs may be lightened/ darkened to try and show garments to their best advantage, I will always try and mention if the colour in the pictures is not quite right.

Please note I work hard to take all of the pictures you see here. I fully understand that people often buy from me with the intention to sell on but please DO NOT reuse my images (or copy my description) without asking. In most circumstances this is fine, but I would prefer to be asked first!!!
