MEN'S RAIL
Our stock of men's vintage clothing has increased vastly over the last couple of weeks and we now have a large number of shirts, jackets, coats and suits (including two from Savile Row). The rather fetching dressing gown would be an ideal Father's day gift for the man in your life but its probably better to see what you get for Mother's day first.
VOLUNTEERS
This photograph shows our two latest volunteers, Chantelle and Sue , who spent their first morning in the shop yesterday. They seemed to really enjoy themselves and had some new and refreshing ideas for the shop and, as you can see, loved trying all the amazing outfits.

A FEW QUOTES ABOUT VINTAGE VISION FAYRE
Thought you might like to read a few quotes we had about our fantastic fayre on
13th March, 2011.
We thought it was a delightful day, lovely atmosphere and done well.
It was great, the kids really seemed to enjoy the craft/dressing up section too.
It certainly was a great day - the models had a fantastic time and are already signing up for the next event.
LOVED IT, BRILLIANT, FANTASTICALLY WELL ORGANISED !!!! Loved the fashion show, music and the well run cafe, it had a great atmosphere and most importantly some great vintage clothes.
I had the time of my life on Sunday and made money too - can't be bad.
Hi just wanted to say how much we enjoyed yesterday, it was brilliant and so many people said what a nice atmosphere it was. Thanks for making it happen and all your hard work.
Had a fab little browse, picked up a lovely little bag too.
Had a fab time at the Vintage Fair today. Really well done, it was great. When's the next one?
Had a fantastic day at the Vintage Fayre at Abergavenny on Sunday. It was busy all day. I had two commission enquiries, sold a lot and a lady wants me to supply her shop in Bath ! I had loads of positive feedback which was lovely to hear because I haven't been doing it for long so it was a great confidence booster !!!

A TASTE OF WHAT IS IN THE HALL
The entrance to Vintage Vision Fayre housed a projector showing vintage fashion and gave a taste of what is available in the hall.
BREAK TIME
Our pretty volunteer models did manage to squeeze in the odd cup of tea before strutting their stuff on the catwalk - no cake of course - they probably had a crispbread last week! The lady in the background trying on the green dress eventually bought it from my stall - Result !
By the way - the price tag is supposed to be on the red dress - the model didn't leave home in a hurry.
MODELS FROM GYPT
In this picture we have models from Gwent Young People's Theatre taking tea in our cafe during a well-earned break. Don't they look amazing ?

HOMEMAKERS
We were very pleased that Homemakers Community Recycling (who have recently relocated to The Old Workhouse, Abergavenny) had a stall at our fayre as they brought some wonderful pieces of recycled furniture for us to admire.

MORE VINTAGE STALLS
The couple in this picture have attended several vintage fayres and make beautiful vintage cards and collages . I was very pleased to hear that ours was one of the friendliest they had attended and that they will definitely come to our next event.
TEA AND CAKES
Another highly successful part of the Fayre was the cafe which was extremely busy but, as you can see, everyone thoroughly enjoyed the experience.(Well almost everyone).
JEAN
Jean, one of our sewing volunteers, had great fun making masks and costumes for the children who visited the Children's Area whilst their parents wandered round the Fayre.
STALLS
There was certainly a large variety of vintage goods to be had at our Fayre with hats, cakes, furniture and clothing available.
MODELS
As you can see our volunteer models looked gorgeous in outfits from Vintage Vision and were very professional on the catwalk. Well done !
VISITORS TO OUR VINTAGE FAYRE
We had a truly amazing day yesterday (Sunday) when our Vintage Fayre was a fantastic success . We had hundreds of visitors to the Fayre and some are shown in these photographs. We would like to thank everyone who took part in the Fayre or came to see us in the Market Hall for making it such a wonderful occasion

VINTAGE FAYRE
Only 8 days to go and counting !! Last chance to lose those extra few pounds so that fitting into the amazing 50s, 60s and 70s style dresses exhibited at our fantastic fayre won't be a problem.

LAURA ASHLEY DRESS AND JACKET
On a crisp day like today, with Spring just around the corner, you might like to consider this beautiful Laura Ashley dress and jacket. It is produced in a cotton material and the bright floral pattern emanates sunshine and happiness.
SAVILE ROW SUITS
We have two Savile Row mens suites available in Vintage Vision which are expertly made with fantastic attention to detail.
Most single-breasted suits have two or three buttons,and one or four are unusual. It is rare to find a suit with more than four buttons although zoot suits can have as many as six due to their longer length.
Suit trousers are always made of the same material as the jacket. Even from the 1910s to 1920 wearing a suit jacket with odd trousers was an alternative to a full suit.
Trouser widths have varied considerably throughout the decade with trousers in the 20s having straight, wide legs, the 50s and 60s having a more slim look and the 70s offering a wide variety of styles of trousers including flared, bell-bottomed and the more traditional tapered trousers.
A good quality suit , ie. Savile Row, would have a small loop behind the button hole to hold the stem of the flower and functional cuff buttons would be found on high-end or bespoke suits and this feature is called a Surgeon's cuff.
