I get this question a lot in my vintage styling sessions..."How do I wear a brooch?" So in this video I'll show you a few ways to wear a vintage brooch, give a bit of history on brooches, and discuss the traditional way of wearing a brooch.
Be sure to check out my video of my own brooch collection. • The Vintage Brooch Show

It still amazes me that content like this is totally free to watch. Free education on history and style! Your channel is criminally underrated.

Can I politely add ..... Buy a velvet or fabric clutch bag in a great solid colour. Mine is black velvet by Butler & Wilson, London. You can clip a beautiful brooch on the front and it lifts a whole outfit ..... Imagine a pair of smart jeans, white cotton shirt, heels, and a navy bag with a brooch. I wear my brooches on my work shift dresses and shirtwaisters, but also have evening dresses with fitted waistbands and will pop a brooch on that. My Grandma had been a 1920's flapper, and there are photographs of her with silk dancing dresses, handkerchief points and splits .... She would pin a brooch at the dropped waist level to give some weight to the silk so it didn't flash too much!

I love my brooches and totally agree the should “face” the right way. Just found your channel but subscribed and looking forward to finding your video on your collection. I have over 500 brooches. Many were my mothers. I’m 61 and have always worn them and always will.

I just picked up my first brooch today at the flea market. It spoke to me and has beautiful mother of pearl details and silver filigree. It goes well with a few of my outfits. Can’t wait to find more. Thank you for this video. 🖤🥰

I have lots of pretty brooches, but always struggled on how to wear them. Although on one occasion I decided to copy Rosemary Clooney from the movie White Christmas. I pinned a big sparkly brooch to the back of a dress I was wearing to an official party. It got plenty of comments! ☺

@TheGlambassador 3 года назад

I love that!

@melanielester2106 3 года назад

Another helpful and informative video ! I have quite a few brooches (not all original vintage) and I love wearing them. I totally agree that the bird and teapot need to be 'facing' the correct way ! My Mam always, always had a brooch on (mainly dragonfly's and butterflies). She would often where one on her shoulder, slightly on the back of her garment as if the dragonfly/butterfly had landed on her shoulder. X

Always love your videos, but this one especially spoke with me. I have a small but growing collection of brooches. I love to wear them in the “standard” left chest position, but also sometimes at the waist and often as an addition to one of my vintage or vintage inspired hats. I have a picture of my great grandmother in a cloche and she had a brooch on it. I’ve mimicked that look many times with my cloche hats.

As a fairly new subscriber I'd like to say thank you for being such an incredible example of how gorgeous Vintage clothing can look on women of ALL shapes and sizes! My body type is very similar to yours and you've given me that much needed confidence to really go for it with my own love of Vintage styling. Good luck with your move and we can't wait to follow your adventures in your new home. Enjoy Fall! I just found the most magical place in my home town and am planning a Fall Vintage photo shoot this year as its my favorite time of year too! 🥰🍂🍁

I love that you included the scarf look, I personally love it! I also recently bought a VERY inexpensive camellia brooch in “gold and diamond” variety, I used to attach three different length strands of pearls at the neckline that added the PERFECT Chanel look. You can use a brooch on sooooo many things! We never even touched on the more “retro” shoulder look for elongated styles!

@woolandwaterknits4801 Год назад

Thank you. This helped me decide which vintage brooches to keep/sell from my aunt and mom who passed. It’s hard to discern what kept the you will actually use.

@rowanhughes9387 3 года назад

Another terrific video! The seat belt factor is something I only realised a little while ago, it was a lightbulb moment! Something I also found is with very fiddly clasps it is so much easier to pin the brooch to my garment before I actually get dressed! No more trying to look down and getting a cricked neck or getting the brooch wonky!

@TheGlambassador 3 года назад

Great tip!

In Europe (The Netherlands) a woman wears a broche on the left side. A weddingbroche with flowers is also on the left but upside down as men on the right up.

@TheGlambassador 2 года назад

@alicerussell5193 Год назад

The way you place brooches reminds me a lot of tattoo placement. Anything with eyes you typically face toward the center of the body, so it makes sense that some placements would feel wrong. I'm sure you subconsciously recognize this as someone who has tattoos.

@TheGlambassador Год назад

That’s so interesting, I never thought of it that way, but yes I think you are right 🥰

@amymcginty6634 4 месяца назад

Hi, thanks for a lovely & informative video! I do have a question… how do you secure a brooch on thin fabric, like silk? Many times the brooches weigh down the fabric. Also, how do you protect the fabric from pin holes, again, especially thin fabrics like silk? Thanks so much! Hugs & kisses😘🤗

@TheGlambassador 4 месяца назад

I’m glad you liked it. I use a MagnaPin for my heavier brooches or when the fabric is more delicate. Here’s a link to the video where I talk about what it is and how to use it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qMusacVNdGQ.html&si=0Ie-9ZRc3s0kU2f1

@callieappelstein8576 3 года назад

I really enjoyed this video! I find that brooches add so much personality to any outfit. Do you have any suggestions about wearing a brooch on lightweight blouse? Sometimes I find that the brooch is heavy and pulls on the fabric. I haven't found a solution yet!

@TheGlambassador 3 года назад

Yes I do! I actually mention this in my other brooch video. I use a Magna Pin. It's a small magnet that you stick the pin through and secure it, then you just use the magnet back to secure your brooch to your garment. It's an amazing little invention. magnapin.com

@veroniquelalanne5719 3 года назад

To put them more often I will have to enlarge my collection....😃 I only have broochs for most of my coats. Do you use also necklaces when you wear them ?

@TheGlambassador 3 года назад

It really depends on the brooch and the necklace. Of the three jewelry pieces I wear (earrings, necklace & brooch), I tend to wear two of the three. Very rarely do I wear all three at the same time. If any are larger/chunkier then I'll go with a smaller/lighter version of the other. I like to have one item be in the spotlight and the other accessories are the backup singers. I hope that makes sense.

@amandawong3573 3 года назад
