Vintage by Gertie Magazine - Summer 2025
Hello, lovelies!
This is my favorite issue yet! The tenth issue of Vintage by Gertie magazine oozes summer with a focus on vintage lingerie, Hollywood history, and hot Italian vibes. There's also a big sneak peek of our next Charm Pattern! The magazine is exclusive to our Glamour, Princess, and Inner Circle members.

This will be my theme this summer '26!!!
This is the best issue yet! I love these magazine releases so much. Thank you for a wonderful read!
I’ve been having a slutty girl summer for at least 20 years. And spring. And summer. And fall. ☺️ Great issue!
Yeeeees! I love this response lol! I am working on my slutty girl life. That energy is intoxicating.
I've always wanted to start a fabric swatch book! Loved the section on making my own! I love the theme of unapologetic pleasure in this issue because I am all about finding joy where you can and not apologizing for taking up space. Being confident enough to be whatever version of yourself you want is a powerful thing!
I was a bit surprised by the feature of a pet with a racial slur for their name. I would not have thought this was something condoned here. I’ve seen it in other sewing spaces, but here it very much surprised me.
I have to admit that the use of the word "Slutty" took me by surprise. I think 'Sultry' or 'Sexy' might have been a better option. I understand the desire to reclaim the word, but I don't like the idea of indiscriminate promiscuity or that dressing the way the magazine suggests makes one a "slut." That word and pairing that word with a way of dressing hints at a culture that women who dress that way are looking for sex.
We love a Slutty Italian Summer to follow our Brat Summer! I'm so excited for the slip! Fun fact: Sophia Loren once gave me a bouquet of flowers
That slip is exactly what I’ve asked for in the survey every year! Yay!
Slutty Italian Summer indeed! This was an awesome issue!
I'm really excited for the slip pattern! I've had it on my Gertie wish list for awhile now!
“Performative modesty”? Some of us truly don’t want all of our body on display. It isn’t “performative”.
Love this vibe! Also cannot wait for the new foundations pattern😍
cannot WAIT for the tap pants!
OMG my friends birthday party theme next month is "wear your sluttiest outfit" so this is just in time for a vintage-wearer's inspiration!!! I was confused by how to dress because my version of slutty is kinda glam vintage sexy, which I don't think is the vibe...but oh well. I don't always dress "slutty," but when I do, its "vintage." :D
Obsessed with the Slutty Italian Summer theme, even though it’s winter in Australia right now 😂💕
All over our Slutty Italian summer! Can’t wait
How gorgeous does Gertie look in the Domestic Goddess chapter of this edition! I absolutely love the shape of this dress perfect for summer!
Was anyone who is Italian asked about the title? Cause as an Italian by first thought was weeee look more casual racism about Italians. Nice look.
Or DV survivors. As someone who has heard that 's' word as general harassment I understand the impetus to "reclaim" it, but I have a visceral reaction to it because of it being thrown at me during some terrible abuse.
We love a slutty Italian summer 💖
Totally here for Slutty Italian Summer!
What an awesome edition! This was a fun read.
Hot Italians are my favorite!!
Not the slutty Italian summer 😂 love it ❤️
Slutty Italian summer, that's amazing. Love it. 🤣
