[StrawberryKoiVintage]

Thank you, thank you so much :)))

[avymeow]

Wow! I really liked the red and orange dress and especially the grandma dress :))

[anonamemiss]

Can you give tips on caring for vintage clothing (as far as washing, drying, ironing). Is it ok to use the washing machine and regular wash detergents?

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

You are right, what an excellent point! Vintage garments definitely need special care. Even cotton garments, which are the simplest to deal with, need to be handled carefully... they should be washed on cold and use only gentle, if any, detergents. Also, some particular garments may need to be laid out flat to dry.

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

Other materials such as silk, wool and crepe cannot be washed at all. If you must, carefully "spot"-clean the damaged area (a little gentle hand-soup and lukewarm water)...depending on the condition of the piece, you might save it. It sounds gross, but I try to avoid washing vintage garments altogether...Wearing a slip underneath keeps your sweat and oils from touching the garment. For anything more specific, do a search on the material for the needed care... that's what I do in special cases :)

[MSRUBENESQUE]

Your singing is awesome! ( it 's reminiscent of sonic youth) I was so impressed to learn it was you. You should keep in mind anyone criticizing your music probably loooves the Jonas brothers.

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

HAHA! I love that, and thank you - thank you so much :))

[TheLadybirdsPicnic]

the last one was defo my fave :)

[johncs2007]

Very unique idea to do modeling on youtube. I love it and hope you make many more of these. Thanks

[allieskater818]

[haffira]

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

Awe, thank you so much :)

[moviegal66]

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

Thank you :)

[fancyladydiane1]

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

WOW.... thank you so, SO much! That really melted my heart, and brought me a lot of confidence :)

[mydogwearsaponcho]

beautiful clothes but what is the awful  music playing in the background? MY EARS ARE BLEEDING

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

I just have to ask why people are so mean?! DX That's ME singing! Ugh, just mean.

[mydogwearsaponcho]

[Misspinkpaws]

Sound very nice actualy, very original and it belongs to you : )

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

Thank you :))))

[Misspinkpaws]

youre very welcome :)))

[dazywazy60]

I think the yellow dress is my favorite. I've never thought about collecting vintage clothes. You have a wonderful collection.

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

It actually never occurred to me either, until I encountered some vintage fashion blogs online... now I pretty much only own vintage :) Thanks so much!

[imsene]

my favorit is the grey tight skirt.you look very sexy

[shreepucca777]

you are very pretty,love your style!

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

Thank you so much! ^__^

[molina260]

How do you dyed your clothing?

I would love to know.... =)

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

I used a dye pack from Wall-mart... it was really cheap and the instructions were easy to follow! :) Almost any large convenient store or craft supply store seem to carry them.. It's also a lot of fun, I definitely recommend doing it at least once for the experience :) (But certainly on something less important for the first time!)

[ValberryCupcake]

I'm so your biggest fan right now!

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

Awe, thank you! :)

[Kittybombshell]

What I would do to borrow your wardrobe! LOL it's all so cute!

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

Awe, that sounds like fun! Clothes swapping :)

[lleenasaur]

Your style is fabulous! Do you happen to have a lookbook?

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

Thank you! I'm everywhere... chictopia, blogger, lookbook... pretty much any site I come across, I have a account there :) But I always go under "strawberrykoi" ;)

[786stardust]

wow i love the clothes i like the way you make them look so on trend?! would love to see more thx x

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

Thank you, love!

[Jaszy2112]

wow.. i love your dresses... where do you get them????

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

Thank you! I buy my vintage dresses all over the place... at antique stores, flea markets, vintage stores, yard sales, thrift stores, salvation armies ebay and etsy :)

[cecilia924]

btw, does vintage clothes run expensive? being in college and having a part time job doesn't seem like i could afford vintage...

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

It really does depend on where you shop... I've bought vintage dresses ranging from $1-$100... and I'm not joking. Thrift stores have the cheapest vintage clothes, but of course they don't come in large quantities there. Vintage stores have have medium prices ($10-$50 range), ebay is a hit or miss and Etsy runs on the expensive side... so look around, you can definitely find items within your budget ^_^

[cecilia924]

i wouldn't look good in half of that clothes ! you're perfectly fit ! i love your clothes, videos and music.

hmm, be my mentor ?

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

Awe, thank you! But I'm sure you'd look just fine! I just pick out clothes that suite my figure type, which you could do just the same ^_^

[KuntreeRetardScandal]

the amp has a built in flanger or something that's cool you sing and play with all your vid's.. i try and do the same like I figure " why not"...best thing about you tube to me is that you can do it allllll your self.

[KuntreeRetardScandal]

is there anything that you don't look good in?...if thats possible.. I'd like to see you in some clod hoppers or some goonberry air force one's.. or geez maybe not.......you play that guitar?...you have like a ton of clothes an knick knacks..

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

Yeah, it's my baby. I play that guitar in all of these videos, so yes I definitely play it :)

Oh yes... the room was a mess, but it was either film then or never! LOL

[ChemicallyAlice]

You inspire me :)

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

Awe, thank you! =^_^=

[ZeldaCursedYou]

Wow there is such a thing as dying a dress black?? Cause I recently got in my jacuzzi with a black dress but now its all brownish/purpleish. The only reason I got in with a dress is because a friend and I were walking home from school and it was hot, so we just decided to get in, so it wasnt really planned.. I know that wasnt smart, & saw that coming but no biggie, the dress only costs $4 :D

Bottom line is I wish I could dye my dress back to black.. :(

I just wonder how you did that..

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

Yes, its actually quite easy! I bought a pack of black dye pack from wal-mart, and it was only about $1! Then I mixed it with some warm water and let the dress set in it for a while (just following the instructions), then rinsed it out. I know you can do it! Just hopefully you don't mind dying the WHOLE dress black, because there's no way of only doing part of it :)

[mijelaboredomtime148]

i love your wardrobe!!

i love how you really went head first into the whole vintage thing... it really suits you

ps: i would love to see a part two of this video!

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

Thank you so much!

I was actually thinking about that yesterday... I will try to get a 2nd video out soon :)

[curlytop2477]

your floaral dress was beautiful. i think the sailor dress is pretty cute also. and i love all of your plaid 50's dresses.

[PunkyDoodlez]

I love the 1950's blouse you paired with skinny jeans, very cute!

[Della72360]

[Della72360]

Ps; What do you type when you search on ebay? Just vintage dresses or something else? :)

Thank you sooooooo~ much, and please keep making lovely video's!

Janne♥

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

Thank you, dear! ^_^ I have a several searches "saved" on eBay... my favorite one is "dress" in the 50s-early 60's category, and I also have searches set for the WW2 and 60s/70's mod category :)

[EmIsLegend]

I could imagine you in a movie similar to the Notebook. The stylists wouldn't even have to touch you, you'd already fit the part! (= I truly love your videos and vintage style. It's so feminine and innocent. I wish I had your wardrobe! =P

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

Aw wow! Thank you so much! ^_^ Oh, I definitely vouch for eBay! Though I shop all over the place, nothing beats eBay vintage ;)

[EmIsLegend]

Thanks for your videos and the tip! =D

[skinss1]

you are beautiful, and my total fashion icon :) xxxx

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

Wow, thank you for that honor! ^_^

[KaleidoscopeKayleigh]

i absolutly adore the 2:40 dress .

its so lovely and elegant .

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

Thank you! ^_^

[nowonderitsneverland]

Im also curious to know, where do you get the ideas for these styles? hehe Im a teensy bit impaired when it comes to imagination. :P lol So all I currently have for references is the internet. How sad. lol

PS: Where on earth did you get that petticoat? I LOVE it!! haha

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

Wow, I am inspired by so many different thing! Also, my fashion sense has really evolved over the years... I went from punk-goth-punk-Japanese fruits/lolita-sexy business woman-...this? lol Well, now I watch old movies and look at old magazine pix for inspiration. Wardroberemix(.com) is also a MUST, I am a regular there :)

Oh, the petticoat is vintage, via Ebay! ^-^

[nowonderitsneverland]

I adored the 50's plaid dress at 1:35! Too cute! You have amazing taste, I must say. :)

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

Aw, thank you so much! ^_^

[ALEXAxROSE]

wow. i really have to say you have amazing style. i wish i had a wardrobe like that. i think you should be a fashion designer, or stylist. i love your channel please make more videos! =]

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

Thank you so much! And certainly, I actually just finished filming a video... now I need to edit it ^_^

[Mooseeeeeeeek]

OH MY GAWD!~

I wanna go Vintage shopping with you girllll.

These are so freaking ADORABLE<3333

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

Aw, thank you! And I'd love a shopping buddy! ^_~

[TamikaNurit]

i want to own all of your dresses :) love your style

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

Thank you so much! ^_^

[smilinjoe1]

I love these looks on you Straw!!! Beautiful model!! I couldn't believe my reaction to these romantic clothes!! :-P

[JustinTimberlakeTbh]

Your outfits are soo nice. The looks are inspiring.

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

Thank you!! :D

[OoOonie]

killer outfits and model =) and i like the song too!

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

Aww, thank you! ^_^

[Oecologeae]

you're so lucky to find this stuff..I always tend to find bad 80's bleached jeans when I go shopping...

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

I understand... that is actually my luck a lot of times too! I search very hard for these things, and I also shop online with very specific wants :)

[romadona11]

You continue suprising me by fitting my taste exactly. These are the WOMAN dresses which used to show the natural body curves, and not supress the body like today´s cloth. Still they were inocent and not revealing too much ,,,,,,I love the sialor´s dress..

[ImazoliRavioli]

SO UNIQUE

and cute

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

Thank you!

[ronni1991]

I must say. that you are so cool and I'm in love with your dresses. i'm a guy age 17. and and does the vintage stile. inspired by the 1950's. and i just love it. I found some pretty cool stuff. my glasses are a pair from france from 1954 in the typical style of that time.. well just want to give you my respect for being so cool.. (sorry if my english is a little bad. I'm from Denmark)

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

Your English is great! And thank you, thank you so much! ^_^

[Schmoolinks]

I wish I looked as good as you do in vintage attire. It's all about the sleeves for me - I can't work with most sleeves that are bubbly and poofy. My neck is so long I just look...strange haha. But you realy pull it off!

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

Thank you! But somehow, I bet you could pull it off better than you think ^_~

[Schmoolinks]

SOMEHOW haha, I just have to figure out how.

[whaddupchunt]

srsly, HOW ARE YOU SO STYLISH & VINTAGE??!!

you are my hero/role model

i try to be vintage... but it never really works

i can never find good pieces, i live by absolutely NO vintage stores :(

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

Aw, thank you!

Yeah, even for me, it can be rough! I search and hunt really hard - sometimes I find some nice things and other times I don't. I also supplement (yes, like a vitamin, lol) my vintage with on-line shopping, besides vintage, thrift, antique stores and estate sales.

With a mixture of all these shopping resources, it makes it that much easier to fill-in my wardrobe with vintage pieces ^_^

[sweetfix07]

I love that most of these dresses are modest! I love your style!

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

Thank you, I wouldn't dream of anything other than personal modesty! ^_^

[Kirsty2703]

Do you have any recomendations for vintage looks for someone who is more curvey and more, umm, busty? Not saying you arn't I'm just very busty. Sorry : /

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

lol, that's ok! ^_^ For someone with curves, I would say "embrace them"! Because I love a woman with curves, honestly. Something I would NOT recommend: tent, smock or otherwise known as, SACK dresses. They add width and are horrible, except for stick-skinny girls. Shirtwaist dresses are good, (they add emphasis to a narrow waist) and pencil skirts are often good, wrap dresses and trumpet skirts. Baby-doll or empire waisted articles of clothing are not usually good on curvy girls..

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

Low (but not slutty-low!) necklines, such V-necklines, sweetheart necklines and scoop-necklines are best for a larger bosom, because they add length to the neck and give the illusion that your bust is smaller.

Also, it will probably be easier to wear separates, rather that one-pieces ^_^

Hope that helps!

[iiiiiiiiiccccccccuuu]

wah. Very stylish modelling. The clothes suits u a lot!!! Nice!!

[PrincessDaniela12]

did you sing the song?

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

Yes, and played the guitar... =^_^=

[fiercie23]

Adorable combinations!! Love the song too =)

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

Thanks! :D

[biclvr]

Nice style. You look good.

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

Thank you :)

[christinatron]

For some reason I missed this video!

Anyways all of those outfits were amazing! :D

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

Thanks! ^-^

[CoQ10z]

You sound like, Cibo Matto....lol

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

LOL! I can handle that XD

[CoQ10z]

You also sound like Shonen Knife, a bit. :)

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

haha, that's pretty cool too.

[cosmicbabe32]

hey great job... love your clothes you know the tricks and the trade of fashion :) fashion always recycles itself and you're becoming a fashion leader!!

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

Aw, thanks! =^_^=

[ricolover123]

love ur clothes

[LittleMissJuicebox]

so i'm guessing you have a passion for target shoes. haha :)

i hope you stick to your word and make a part 2.

i want to see more vintage outfits.

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

Yes, I do like Target shoes! I guess it's because they've had a good run of vintage reproductions lately.

Not a problem! I'll probably wait a little while, just to get some of my requests out of the way... but I'll definitely keep my word ^_~

[prettypunk1993]

who is the person that is singing?

[StrawberryKoiVintage]

Me! =^_^=

[prettypunk1993]

omg ur really good! :] i love the song
