I sell Vintage and Antique Clothing and I would say anything before 30s should be treated with care and worn with care. Mostly these items will be fragile especially 20s silk or Edwardian very fine Muslin. Some can not handle stress and will tear easily. Should be bought a size bigger where possible or should be a little loose on. Happy to answer any question. Thanks for visiting. Lulu Boop Vintage   Follow me on Instagram @lulu.boop.vintage for more
