 January 9, 2007  Retro Vision
The retro look is not for everyone. Few women can pull off her mom's vintage fur-trimmed coat, and those charming ‘40s frocks often look better on the hanger. And you know what they say about revisiting styles you wore the first time around (you might want to pass on the ‘80s revival, despite all those leftover legwarmers). Yep, vintage is a style best left for the experts – or for little kids, if only you could find the right duds. Stop searching hard-to-find stores and flea markets for the perfect little dress, and check out the collection of retro-vintage children's clothes from Matilda & Company. Using vintage and reproduction fabrics and patterns and mixing them with luxurious silks, linens and cottons, the folks at Matti & Me create one-of-a-kind handmade heirlooms that are sweet and nostalgic yet utterly wearable. This contemporary collection is full of vintage designs, embroidered details and pretty trims, and includes everything from frilly dresses and flowery pinafores to practical separates (Capris, tanks, wrap skirts, loungewear) and infant onesies, hats and bibs. Your little one will look fresh and classic – and so will whoever gets the hand-me-downs. So let someone else pillage her great-grandmother's dusty attic. You've got a secret source.
