I love the blue you have on is fabulous. The hoarder house stuff looks horrible on the hanger. When you put them on it is like magic how good they look even the frumpy ones look good. The Johnny Cash dress is perfect. Color fit and fun. That is my favorite. Thanks for the haul.

I think the pretty floral/butterfly dresses from hoarder house fit you just fine. I love them on you. Please keep them.

[@michellecherie419]

Would you ever consider getting the larger ones you truly love tailored a small amount so that they fit? And maybe tailored in such a way that the alterations could be reversed if you wish to have it return to its original size?

Thank you!

[@AriesGirlTAROT]

I agree Carmen. I would add a a basic black decorative edge to the hem making it longer. But if the armpits are truly to tight, U may want to pay for an alteration. This one is worth the efforts in my opinion.

[@rickyestanislao5086]

My only advice for ever cleaning out a closet that I give to anyone is that if you have to think about it you should get rid of it because it’s not some thing that you truly love/want.

[@LaciFayTheVintageGirlNextDoor]

That’s sound advice!

[@janiebrossmann1178]

You were justifying your feelings about each dress ...pass the ones that don’t fit on to another vintage clothing lover...you know ur fans will feel beautiful and wear them with pride♥️

[@quycksylver4822]

Most of the ones that you said were too big looked fine to me, but you should definitely keep the kitty dress. That turquoise color looks fanastic on you, and...kitties! You might be able to alter the armholes if they're too tight

With the lockdown I’ve also lost weight and been depressed. I started a bunch of hobbies too but last year was awful for me. I did have both kids at home with me which was the silver lining.

[@StephanieCanada]

Keep the kitties!!! Is there a hem you can drop a little? If there is a wear line you could add black ric-rac to hide it. You ARE those kitties.

[@LaciFayTheVintageGirlNextDoor]

Right?! Unfortunately no hem to speak of. I may add a black panel?

[@StephanieCanada]

@@LaciFayTheVintageGirlNextDoor YES!!

[@bec6516]

Yes, keep the kitties... lose the belt.

[@tracyisbest]

What do you mean lose the belt? The belt's great, keep it! I just really couldn't judge the length as the camera didn't go down far enough to quite see it. I love the whole sleeve-less look though. Please show more from the closet of those!

[@bec6516]

@@tracyisbest The belt is unessary as it distracts from the pattern of the dress. If a dress doesn't come with one originally, don't add one to show off curves, simply buy a dress that actually fits your curves or get a bigger size and get it altered. I am a size 6 AU/US 2, little or no bust with 'child bearing" hips at a size 8 AU/US 4, due my metabolism and late father's genetics. Whenever I wear vintage and it's been altered, I have been told by many women "I'd love to have a figure like yours...", to which I reply: "I don't, as I had to get this altered...". As a Mod, I buy all sizes of vintage clothing because I am inspired by colour, patterns, the 'cut' and fabric of a garment that goes with my 1960s British Mod subculture aesthetic - not necessarily mid century Mod. I also have 1940s and 1950s styles, but these 1950s styles would be considered also early 1960s styles - think Mad Men. I get 99% of my vintage clothing altered to fit, whereas my modern inspired fashion requires no alterations at all, because I know my body type and shape, what works and what doesn't. You can find out more about me on the Mod Generation forum as Mod Goddess.

Wanted to also comment that I totally empathize with the stress and unintentional weight loss (for me, the pandemic in general and having to leave my job for personal reasons). Recognizing that our mental health does directly impact our physical health is the key to feeling better. All the best, Laci! Love from this "vintage neighbor xx!" :)

[@tracyisbest]

Hi Lacy! I really hope you're doing better. I lost my parents a few years ago about six months apart. Took me over a year to kind of get going into some semblance of the life I had. For each person it is different so take all the time necessary no matter how long. Not sure if that's the kind of grief you've experienced but recovery takes however long it takes. It shouldn't be rushed. I hope you're getting back to being you. I love your videos please keep doing what you so naturally do. God bless you.

[@chayastaub-krell6601]

I loved all of those dresses on you! The ones you thought were too big looked nice on you but that's going with a more modern fit -- loose, comfortable. The40s and 50s had a more fitted style especially up the sides to the armpits. I would get them altered especially the embroidered flowers and the butterflies since you love them so much and they look beautiful on you. This way, you get to enjoy them for awhile. The two that you weren't sure about -- I would, for ,sure, keep. The red pocket dress is person and the kitties are beautiful and so you! Like other commenters have said, you can get the armpits altered and add a piece to the bottom to make it longer. I go through that a lot lol. I wear calf-length skirts but I have, a time or two, fallen in love with a shorter skirt

[@morganamartin2642]

Unless you are an absolute fit perfectionist, seems like some of the dresses you think are too big might be OK.

[@morganamartin2642]

Not up to doing alterations yourself? Find a tailor, girl! Dry Cleaners always have one and many people do so privately. Small fixes are not expensive.

[@LaciFayTheVintageGirlNextDoor]

I may look into it. My mending pile is huge already!

[@Ceelle2]

Dry Cleaners tailors can be your best friend! They can fix all at a decent price. I always recommend checking with your dry cleaners.

Evey jan I clean my closet.but during the year when I wear an outfit (I only have outfits) I do have some basics. I put a rubber band on the clothing I have worn, this helps me clean if there is not a rubber band on hanger that means I have not worn that item in a yeay

That plaid dress is super pretty, but I'm sure you have lots of others you love as much. Probably the only one I would have hesitated on personally that you chose not to keep seeing as all are pretty. You are so lucky to find so much good stuff where you live. The thrift stores where I live in NY have mostly junk.

[@jinglebat]

I think some of the dresses that are just a bit big on top would fit you right with one of those bullet/torpedo type bras. They are usually padded and sit way above the natural breast line and that's what the dresses were designed for

[@rajwinderkaur8649]

To me, that butterfly dress looks great! Not too baggy at all and definitely wearable. You rocked it!

[@RnR-Rebel]

Hiya Laci, I’m sorry to hear of your stress related health probs, sending you healing, stress-free vibes ASAP! I’m similar when stress hits, I stop eating, get bad tummy probs & dang it’s been piling on super bad since John Lee Hookat 🐈‍⬛somehow slipped out (miss him ever so as do all of us including his adopted mumma Calliope who cries everyday for her “baby”) getting close to 3 mos ago😢💔. Most of the dresses you thought looked too big actually looked great! Remember, they say our bodies go thru changes every 7 years or so & once you hit your 40s-50s things seem to shift even if you weigh the same. I keep some vintage dresses that have always been big to wear in summer. Being a bit big makes them more comfy when it’s very hot. I’d keep the dress that was the original owners, tbh looked lovely. As does the FAB kitty dress! Add some trimming on the bottom to bring it to a length you prefer. Even a band of black fabric would be very pretty! You did a great job, I’m notorious for packing things away then wearing again 5 years later! Very hard w/ vintage. If you’re not sure, that’s a sign to keep (in my world😬). I’d love some of your dresses but I’m super teensy which was a reason I got started w/ vintage in my teens (think it was the dark ages😉 over 45 yrs ago) w/ Victorian through 30s so plentiful & cheap! Happy sales! Jet 🧡🎸🎶⚡️😻🏠🐾🐈‍⬛🙏🏼🤞hoping the sighting nearby is him, wish me luck!

I think you should definitely keep the butterfly dress! It's a little big, but you can pull it off and that print is so unique and gorgeous! The dress with the kitties is a tougher one. it is very unique and cute on you but the way it fits in the arms would be a deal breaker for me. Such tough choices! You have great taste.

[@katherineburden5416]

The butterfly dress looks so pretty on you.

[@WBCRO]

I’m glad you’re keeping the teal striped dress (the one that needs some stitching around the armholes). It looks truly fabulous on you! Also, it seems like one of those dresses that’ll work for a lot of situations. You asked for our opinions on a few other dresses... my mum had a great saying for times like these: “When in doubt, don’t.” In other words, if it isn’t an absolute “yes!” then it’s probably a “no”. IMHO, the Modo (sp?) dresses look way too blousy in the torso. In terms of the cat dress.....it’s adorable and the colour is wonderful on you. The camera angle didn’t allow us to see where it falls on you but, as cute as it is, uncomfortable armholes would be a deal-breaker for me. Maybe a good seamstress could slightly deepen the armholes? Could you wear it with a black pencil skirt underneath, offsetting the hem length issue? Sorry to blather on so long! You’ve inspired me to do some organizing too. 👍🏻

I have become an "old lady". I just love Laci Fay and Mr. Johnny Cash (I am so glad that he returned from his "business trip".) The Mode O'Day dresses that she modeled in the video are so beautiful. I don't know why, but most of my favorite KZbinrs happen to have black cats.

You are lucky because all the dresses that are too big have full skirts. I would use a seam ripper to remove the skirts, take the top in at the sides and then make darts, from the waist up in front and in back. You could then pin the skirts back on, making tiny tucks in the skirts to work in any extra fullness, then sew the skirts to the top. It would be easy. No fuss with zippers, buttons, just 4 darts. Love those hoarder house dresses. They are exactly what I remember ladies wearing when I was little.
