July 31, 2020 by AllFreeSewing Leave a Comment

The great thing about retro fashion is that you can be 100% sure it’s not just a fad. If a certain look has been around for over 20 years, it’s probably going to stick around another 20 years. Some statements like the little black dress or a well-tailored blazer are just not going anywhere—you can […]
