Hiyas,
Here is my first attempt using reinforcements. Usually I do it free hand...which leads to messy results. As usual, one hand looks better than the other, so I'll just post the decent one. I was a bit too heavy-handed with the nail polish though..oops! I used gold for the moon, and red for...
As an aside, I'm just curious - those of you that have blogs do you credit the person that originally scanned the image? Meaning, if you use an old advert which you found in a search. Do you try to find out who originally scanned it, contact them and give credit (even though they are not the...
You were absolutely right in what you did. People shouldn't plagiarize in the first place, and shouldn't get away with it. You weren't being mean - it was best that you pointed it out and protected your original work. It's no different than one creating a song, and someone copying it (though...
I've only attempted the moon manicure twice. Here's what I did:
1) paint the nail in the colour you want the moon to be
2) let dry completely
3) apply reinforcement/tape, etc where you want the moon to be
4) paint the rest of the nail the other colour you want 1-2 coats
5) let dry completely
6)...
I went to my favourite vintage store today and got lots of beautiful things!
New dress, 40s, needs a belt as it's a little big.
Amazing skirt, in such great condition. I have no clue what to wear with it. Any ideas?
Two late 50s/early 60s blouses.
Lots of knitting pattern...
I can't believe I've been missing this thread! I rarely venture out of the Powder Room.
Lottie you lovely as always!
Carnage, very well put together. What is on your lapel pin?

That saying certainly has an implication. I hadn't heard it until I went to London. Then I wondered, who on earth came up with that? If a lady wears red shoes here there's no assumptions about it! She's just wearing red shoes!

For me I wear slips from the 40s, 50s and 60s and have a few slips from the 30s. For me, telling the date is a best guess based on material, style and the label.
30s slips are longer, and are often so lovely one could wear them as evening dresses!

If one gets caught using a copyrighted image, usually you're just asked to remove it. It rarely goes any farther. I have a huge vintage clip art collection, photos, ads. ;0

I second that. You look like Dita now that your hair is black. ;0
Re: images, most people are just taking chances. Doing searches, saving images and using them. Very few people find out whether they are infringing on copyright. I wouldn't worry about it too much!

I have a vintage sweater dress. I've only worn it once...I do feel more self conscious in it as it's body hugging. May try it again with proper foundation garments!

You're doing well Ada. :) I shall weigh in next week, or the week after. One week isn't enough to really tell. Food definitely is a pleasure...I'm already longing for lunch and it's only 11 a.m. here!
Yup, stress, heartbreak, etc...it'll do it!
Yes, I used to be a lot bigger many years ago...
This thread is amazing - I love it! It's fun to see how others assemble their vintage outfits, or vintage inspired outfits. Everyone has their own take, love it! And, I really like the nonchalant street style pics...'yes, I always look this good walking about town, of course!'
I especially...
