THE WAY YOU WEAR IT... THRIFTY SHOPPERS
Vintage, coat shopper Harriet, 25 from London - Shop around. You can get the best bargains at markets and car-boot sales. Often items are priced lower than in shops - try and stay until sellers are packing up, I got this coat at a Brighton market for £15.00.
- Look for a good condition lining in satin or silk. It will keep you warm and helps maintain the structure of the coat.
- Flatter your figure. When in doubt about what style to choose - go for a 40s'/50s' style with a nipped-in waist and full skirt - it will suit any shape. Total Outfit Cost...£65.00
