"I like it alot because I made it" this is now my new favorite quote.

"and it also kind of smells like soup" The eternal secondhand shopping struggle

[@terezasiskova3545]

If anyone's interested, I found the company that made the coat. It is Slovakian and it was established in early 1930s. After the Czechoslovak comunist coup d'état in 1948 it was nationalized and had been the largest clothes manufacturing company of the Eastern Bloc in 1950s and 60s. After 1973 they only made men's fashion. And if I understand it correctly, it is still in business :)

[@kitt3526]

That’s extremely interesting!

I’ve just started watching your videos and as someone who works in vintage fashion and loves talking about and learning about vintage fashion but HATES the super bubbly upbeat personality of every person whose videos I’ve tried to watch in the past, this is just so so great. You are my favourite vintage meme mom.

[@spoilersbelow5075]

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who sews with non-matching thread sometimes and doesn't care. :D (Small request: for future clothes videos, please find a way to show a bit more full-body, at least to the hemline. I'm really interested in your dress\skirt length choices! I hope this doesn't sound creepy! Thanks!)

[@lucase9698]

sameee i wanted to see the hemline of those skirts and dresses

[@gracie2104]

"my waist isnt even that small" // me: *squints aggressively*

[@minikaur4993]

Lol i was like " you need glasses" XD

[@nfraehlich]

Yes. They're called high ~waisted~ pants. Please come to my actual waist. The other day I tried on 'super high waisted' pants and they still ended on my hips. I disapprove.

[@geministargazer9830]

Natalie Fraehlich I’ve got a short torso so I kinda don’t want pants to go to my actual waist because then I look like a pair of legs with some boobs at the top lol

[@bela1825]

Yes!!!! I have “high waisted” pants that barely reach my belly button!!

[@helenkath]

I have the exact same problem! I’ve got long legs, big hips and a small waist and pants are made specifically for one of these things, not a combination 😩

[@ashm2338]

That's why it's so messed up

[@StellaMariaGiulia]

Finally! Someone who's not jumping around in fits of happiness for spring. You complete me.

[@StellaMariaGiulia]

Btw, re: smelly pits! I still haven't had the chance to try it myself but someone on Instagram recently suggested to: 1. soak pits in vinegar, let sit for a few hours then rinse thoroughly 2. If that's not enough baking soda applied on wet pits (after rinsing the vinegar out) let it dry for several hours, the scrape off and rinse 3. Then wash by hand with mild detergent Maybe worth a try?

this! this is what I was looking for, thank you! I think @birtheweijkamp showed the whole process on her Instagram but I forgot to take screenshots and then when I was trying to remember it I was like "yyy sugar? soda?"

[@StellaMariaGiulia]

Karolina Żebrowska yes! It's her

[@geministargazer9830]

I live in Queensland Australia and I drool over full length coats but in reality a coat would get very little wear from me because it just doesn’t get cold here. I mean it’s supposed to get down to 2 degrees this winter and that’s a record cold winter. Since I’m a fan of the 40s I’m kinda always at a loss for nice summer things. I do like pastels but I also like forest greens and rust reds and navy blues

[@StellaMariaGiulia]

GeminiStargazer we do get semi-cold winters, but they get shorter and shorter and spring and summer are ~hot! we should all relocate somewhere chillier! ... all vintage lovers, we'd make the most glamorous town ever. 😂

[@tatianablk]

Yeah that high waist problem.. I'm always at stores like, these aren't high waist if they don't reach to your waist...

[@ingloriousbetch4302]

I'm 4'11...I can make jumpers out of some high waisted pants lol

[@Fastest_turtle]

How on earth do you make those curls so smooth?? Damn that's the real talent right there.

don't wash your hair for a week and voila, you're Rita Hayworth

[@Fastest_turtle]

Karolina Żebrowska 😂😂😂 now I know your secret 😏

[@bluejay5531]

and so beautifully shiny!! love those thick glossy curls!

[@Rachel-th3ie]

I liked seeing your clothes! And your modeling. Sometimes I feel awkward when I watch videos and they are making goo goo eyes at the camera.

lol same, I'm like GIRL R U FLIRTING WITH ME

[@amberfester5813]

Same here! It's like, wow they're definitely into themselves, lol

[@jenna6716]

I wash my stinky stuff with white vinegar in the bleach or the fabric softener dispenser. It works every time. I used it on towels I left in the washer too long that got mildew smell in it. Trust me, try it! It also works if your clothes keep "bleeding" like the Freddie's of Pinewood blue dye. That will keep them from getting ink on your other clothes. But you need to wash Freddie's a few times with white vinegar to achieve it. Thanks for the video, as always I loved it!

[@Haghenveien]

I really like the clothes you showed and one of the main reasons are the sleeves. I have a thing for sleeves, they make you look elegant and they are so confortable and flattering. They used to beautiful sleeves back in the day. The 40s were amazing.

[@isildasanches6587]

About the sweat smell, try this: 1) If you have a bathtub turn on the hot water until it is half full, close the door and leave the coat hanging in the middle of the steam for awhile 2) Use a steam iron 3) Reverse the coat and leave it under direct sunlight for about some hours (I have had success with this method)

[@cleooo013]

That tag is in Slovakian, it says Clothing Factories. Greetings from the Czech Republic!

thanks!

[@RedhairedBallerina]

I think it says Trenčín below that, that's a Slovakian city - but if it's from the 70s, it was Czechoslovakia then anyway ;)

[@rionka]

oh I'm late here with the same info today, thank you :)

[@Cationna]

"I think I made the waist too tight 'cause sometimes I get stomach aches when wearing those pants - but at least they fit me wel.." - absolutely iconic

[@popovka]

And so relatable

[@billclark6787]

I love your long hair, and it looks so elegant with the palm frond print dress, and the crystal pleated print dress. Lovely.

[@meamela9820]

I don't care about what's "spring" colours or "winter" colours, I just wear whatever makes me feel comfy and is suitable for the wheather. That usually means wintercolours... I used to have a lot of clothes that I didn't wear, but thougth I could alter, but never actually did something about. Now the problem is a little bit smaller (partly because I have got rid off some of the clothes I knew that I wouldn't wear anyway) as I have a separate place were I store clothes that need to be repaird or altered. Then I remeber to actually do something about the clothes and they don't dissapear deep inside the closet.

[@natk4275]

Ok don't want to get weird on you but you look a lot like I did at 25 (I'm a decade older now). The height, figure, bobbed brown wavy hair, long neck, skin tone, roman nose...you're freaking me out girl! When you were trying on clothes it was like watching an old home video. My parents are both from Poland so same gene pool I guess...(You're gorgeous by the way ha ha! 😂😂)

[@dauser4]

* gasp * maybe you're distantly related

[@TiffanyHallmark]

This little journey through your closet was delightful. Thank you for sharing.

[@veronicarivero2711]

oh my goodness..that chartreuse colored dress you made..is absolutely Beautiful 👗🌻🐝 such a pretty style. the epidimy of 1940s. 🕊🌷

[@BeverleyButterfly]

To get rid of smells I read online that you should spray the item with vodka not tried it but there you go! Plus you need to show us your sewing because it’s always done in such an original way and yet it always works...how does that happen?? Xx

wouldn't it smell like an old drunk guy then? 😬 just wondering

[@BeverleyButterfly]

Karolina Żebrowska but that’s how all the cool girls want to smell. Lol no vodka in a spray bottle apparently doesn’t have a scent... good luck

okay cool I might try it out then!

[@itsafab]

I used rubbing alcohol or isopropyl alcohol all the time with costumes and clothes I don’t want to ruin in the wash. Maybe smelling like vodka isn’t the best lol

[@EmilyOvermyer]

My mom is a costumer for theater and she always uses this trick! Especially with vintage and 1800/1700/1600s clothes since they're more difficult to wash or since certain items can't be washed without damaging them. Vodka in a spray bottle works like a charm. If you're worried about a smell (which it really doesn't, it actually neutralizes odors), just dilute it with a bit of water.

[@wendywright4659]

i am dead over here. your comments are the best and youre modelling your clothes in such an elegant manner hahahh

[@rabiaaylmazdr7533]

My mom and I love you and your style so much! Loves from Turkey! ( This love comment was written by me under my mom's pressure)

[@ciotkahelaa]

That 50's skirt that you made is to die for!

[@siobhanmurren7260]

Just found your channel! I'm in the process of converting to full vintage wear. 1940s is my era, I adore the style! I'm SUPER tall at 6 foot so its hard to find things (pants especially!) That fit me! I will get there but for now I still have jeans I wear, begrudgingly! I need to comit more time to charity shop shopping!!!!

[@kherise]

Vint. Rose same here, I also struggle with the skirts or dresses bcs they are never long enough;)

[@emma-st9qz]

I love your style! I really like 40s/50s fashion, and I’m trying to get more informed on those periods. I wish I could pull off some of these clothes but I’m only 14 and pretty small so they’d just look kind of ridiculous on me haha. Also I can’t seem to find any interesting shops that sell vintage clothing in Switzerland and have no idea about sewing so.. anyways i love your vids and your originality, keep doing watcha doing!!

[@greenybeeny7139]

My dream is to wear 1940s clothes ;0; I'm also 14 and only 5'0 so I know they will look weird on me but they're so freaking cute

[@solomonshepherd4824]

So happy to have found a channel who deals with the stuff that really matters! Subscribed!

[@zoesmybaby]

5:33 the only person ever documented who possesses the ability to look good in chartreuse.

[@mantailuaa]

Chartreuse is actually a color and name of the liqueur from France. Though colour in those clothes were a little bit too yellow.

[@edwardhisse2687]

Dark winters be like that.

[@celesteluna6834]

Love this video. Why? 1. Because I am also a winter and fall lover over any other season. 2. This is the best wardrobe/closet tour I've ever watched in YT. 3. Finally! I found a real vintage style channel ❤ 4. Love all of the cloth shown on the vid and the way it looks worn. 😯 Why did I lose so much time watching other "vintage-trendy-modern fashion" channels? Thanks Karolina!! 💕👍

[@SamanthaN92]

I just found out your polish! 🤣 What a beautiful country and language ❤️ I always had a fascination with Poland since a child. Its top on my bucket list for countries i want to visit.

[@sketchingstudio5552]

✨ eight seconds in and my ears are already bleeding. this is my favourite channel ✨

[@kaidgardner2922]

I am stunned how you got into retro dressing. I love it. You are too hard on yourself. You look good in all those you showed us.

[@UnderTimothy]

OMG I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS AND YOUR STYLE. It is so surreal like watching a vintage movie star as a youtuber.

[@ReptilianTeaDrinker]

"1940's, here I come! SLAY!!!" Lmao! I'm deceased.

[@JessicaArndtChannel]

I have a tip for you on how to take the armpit smell from clothes. You just need pure lemon juice and baking soda. Mix both until you have a creamy paste... then put it on the armpit area and leave ot for 24h. Then you wash the clothes as usually... for me and my family it works like nothing else. Love your videos!

[@Laura_Norda]

Like you my winter wardrobe is also my summer wardrobe. I just add a cardigan and scarves/ gloves. I dont think my clothes really look seasonal with the exception of one top.

[@zoeo1920]

i love how honest and authentic you are!

[@julecaesara482]

I love Armstrong... when I lived in Edinburgh I got myself an 80s skirt with belt and wonderfully fancy bright red leather gloves.

[@emilyrln]

Super cute! I especially love the black-and-white striped skirt and chartreuse dress. For the smelly coat, you can try hanging it in the sun. For the too-short b&w striped pants with matching shirt, have you considered adding a black band to the cuffs? Fix those back closures so you can wear the skirts!! You could do snaps if you don’t like dealing with hooks and eyes (they are indeed a pain to stitch down).

[@iridescentaurora268]

That chartreuse dress is S O F R E A K I N G C U T E!!! *OMG*

[@melfreemans]

I love that you swear. I'm a big fan of "cuss" words as we call them in the southern United States. And since I'm a 60 year old professional woman I can get away with swearing! People with charming accents can get away with it also.

[@galthea]

@Karolina: About the coat at the end: it says "Odevné závody Trenčín" so it´s definitely Slovak from the Trenčín Clothing Plant company. They closed in 2007 I think. (Started in 1940´s or something like that.)

[@jessicagarvin4834]

I love your humor and memes it is very enjoyable. You all ways make my day.

[@Dlishtrish]

For the armpit smell, you can use either spritz a little white vinegar on the area or dampen with a cloth or use a diluted form of baking soda and water to absorb the smell.

[@uniquelymadison]

I totally understand what you mean about vintage winter clothing, I feel the same way. Spring can be nice, but summer uuuh, no, not at all. :D

[@briannaash92]

You get me excited about fashion, and history. Thanks.

[@foreverlyn4689]

Greetings from Texas in the USA! Love your videos!

[@bery33]

or in winter just bring everything in the balcony on the hanger, works wonderful with wool coats also

[@isabelletierney]

You have a timeless beauty, you honestly look like a lady from the past !!!! 😊 so cool!

[@dariasmirnova9548]

Your skin looks so good!

[@arcanelore3791]

Okay here's how to get rid of literally any stench in clothing. Find the cheapest, worst quality, most terrible bottom shelf vodka you possibly can. The kind that isn't fit for human consumption and might as well be paint thinner. Mix that with water in a 50-50 ratio, and put it in a spray bottle. Spray generously on the stinky areas (and the rest of the garment for good measure if you wanna get rid of the secondhand store smell (tm), and hang it up to air overnight. In the morning, all stench will have vanished, and since the vodka is clear, nothing will stain. That's how we keep our costumes wearable between Saturdays and Sundays at the Renaissance Faire, and I will swear by it til the day I die. Only issue is maybe silk, not sure it's okay to get silk wet.

[@kamilasiwek4626]

I love your sense of humor 😍😍😍

[@missloretta]

Ooo! I love that light green dress. It is divine! 😍

[@KevtheRev84]

I have a thick black skirt that I live in in the winter too! Its like a blanket. ☺️

[@elizabethscreations2814]

For the trench coat armpits, use vinegar. Then wash. Vinegar will neutralise almost any smell. :) Loved your video thanks for showing so many amazing clothes.

[@thewriterscrown5239]

I live for your sound effects

[@artfanatic666]

To get rid of the odd smells add few drops of tea tree oil and a few drops of coconut oil and apple cider or white vinegar witch both act as fabric softeners . You can look up the amounts and add them as fabric softeners to the washer machine.

[@umopepisdn.]

There's a girl my daughter is friends with who is only 12 and her hair is dry, brittle, and thinning due to bleaching and changing colour every 2 months. Edit: right now her hair is a mix of green, teal, and blue. It's been every color imaginable in the last 4 years.

I have a dress with the exact same pattern as the dress at 16:42, only mine is brown with long sheer sleeves. I'm pretty sure it's a twin dress to that one. I love it! Also your posing in outfits in this video is everything. I couldn't stop laughing.

omg how cool! twinsies!

[@brenda0006]

Yay!! I really liked this video actually 😅 it’s kinda like we get to hang out with you haha the longer ones are always fun too

[@zoesmybaby]

If you can wash your trenchcoat, white vinegar takes out smells from laundry. Also 40's are way better than 50's! Except I do love my mascara so that will always stay if I am putting makeup on at all.

[@RuubinSelena]

That first chartreuse green dress is amazing 😍

[@missrobinhoodie]

„I like these pants - because they fit me“ I wish I had more pants that actually fit me and not make me feel uncomfortable 😩

[@urbanarielle4131]

"high waisted" jeans and skirts never reach my waist either, it's so frustrating! Tall people problems :'D And whenever I find something that actually reaches my waist, it's not tight enough and slides down to my hips... argh...

[@Cationna]

I get your reservations about off-the-shoulder blouses, but I think tying a light kerchief/apaszkę round your neck helps it looking less in-your-face. Probably simply because it covers some skin and the effect is it's no longer excess. Idk I feel like this vintage look is worth it.

[@k_a_y_l_e_e]

omg i just love her so much lol she's like the sister i never had.

[@nikanokoi]

This kind of videos would be amazing if you found a way to show the whole body while modeling an outfit :) it's kinda hard to imagine what an item looks like when you only see the upper half. Shame, really, because the clothes are all so cute! Especially the chartreuse dress, oh my god I'm in love.

sodium bi carbonate can absorb any bad smell and if you mix with a fragrance it will absorb the smell and fix the perfume smell on the fabric

[@RCGagain]

Old video, but did you fix the odor problem? Have you tried bagging it for a week with some baking soda and/or some fabric softener sheets? And then air drying and sunshine? WHich you already know about.
