    What vintage won't you wear?

    I've changed my answer. I love it all from the 1910s to the 2010s!!

    Fake Melons

    I'm 40 and I have naturally "large melons" (36 D). And I'm quite slim. I've had them since I was 12. Guess I am not "real"? I don't care, though. I don't care if women get implants. Whatever makes you happy :) Hopefully this post is so old the OP no longer has the same opinion.

    I like it, too! lol But I understand. My "frumpy" dress on the second page looks great on my dress form, but horrid on me!

    Everyday Women of the Golden Era

    I bought a photo album in a shop for 10 bucks. The album is dated 1935-1937 throughout. Here are some of the pictures: I think this is a slightly older picture that was put in ;)

    Sanitary Belts

    I remember when I was little there was this old, stretched out elastic band with clips on it in our bathroom closet. I had no idea what it was until MUCH later. Now, I'm kinda curious to try a sanitary belt (can you buy them anymore?) -- but may not want to give up my Softcups!

    A Guide to Elegance by Genevieve Antoine Dariaux

    Even though I don't give a rat's behind about sylists and such, this is good way to look at it! I'm 5'7", 155 lbs, 40-32-41 and I've mastered cutting and fitting my patterns to my shape perfectly! :)

    Everyday Women of the Golden Era

    A few from my collection. Apologies if I've posted them before -- I see all X's on my old posts.

    When did the pin-up look take over the vintage esthetic?

    I've been told I have "unfinished business" from my 1930s life. This is why I carry it out into the 2010s in my present life. It's very fun to think about. I've toyed with the fact I am reincarnated from someone who lived her prime in the 20s/30s. I was born in 1975 so if I was born in...

    When did the pin-up look take over the vintage esthetic?

    Some things just ARE. I can't actually believe this 100%, but I have fun with the idea that I somehow possess energy from a past life in the 1930s. When I am around things from the 20s/30s/early 40s I get a very strong attraction and attachment to them. I think how it is "no fair" I have to...

    Free Range Parenting?

    Yep, I was. I can remember it well. When the street lights came on, that was our cue to head home. If one of the neighbourhood kids didn't come home in time, you'd hear a parent yelling for them. Does that even happen anymore? Lol. I remember going to just about every kid's house on my...

    When did the pin-up look take over the vintage esthetic?

    I have a running joke with my friends. I'm always the sweet, innocent church girl and they are the pinup bombshells. They are both totally over the top in their dressing. I like to try to wear what a woman really would have worn back then, but I like both styles. And I can attest to the fact...

    Sewing failures

    This dress. The pattern envelope was perfectly 1930s...it looked sporty and casual -- like something you'd wear out running errands. My rendition is just frump-tastic! All the gathering just refused to sit right, it appears one arm is a bit longer than the other, and the skirt pleat on the...

    Favorite Era Photograph

    I always liked this one. It's from 1939. I like the ill-fitting dress on the girl on the right and the dirty work trousers/wrinkled comfy shirt on the gal on the left. And their happy mama in the middle. Just everything about this photo is great. And the hair still looks great, regardless...

    Thinking about a tattoo, but is it what good girls did in the 1940's?

    The two I'm not crazy about are on my back and I pretty much forget about them lol I have Louise Brooks on my shoulder and self-drawn tramp stamp of my initial with mudflap girls. The tramp stamp wouldn't be bad if my current artist fixed it up. Buttttt......I'm too busy getting new ones I...

    Thinking about a tattoo, but is it what good girls did in the 1940's?

    Yes to all of this. It's those fence-sitters that go and get crappy flash done and then loudly regret the tattoo a few years down the road -- and these are EXACTLY the people who make those of us dedicated to getting good body art and love each and every one of our tattoos LOOK BAD! I have...

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    In my experience, being "invisible" to the cat callers is a good thing. When I wear skinny jeans and Ts, no one looks twice. In vintage (which I would prefer to wear AT ALL TIMES!) I get the "Hey Baby!" crap. Now, I expect people to look at me or maybe even comment on my outfit -- I don't...

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    Well, tomorrow is Halloween and we're going to our favorite bar after work. Probably going to wear some sort of normal vintage styling (for me). Wonder how many people will compliment me on my costume? lol

    What is a Lady?

    I always let someone ahead of me if they have fewer items than I do or look distressed. Even with my tattoos!! :eye roll:

    What is a Lady?

    Being a lady to me means behaving according to the situation. Being polite and respectful, even to those we may not get along with. Dress has nothing to do with it, nor looks in general.
