What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
I watched West Point of the Air (1935) yesterday on TCM. Surprisingly exciting...even had special effects! I like Robert Young, and this was a really interesting movie about the early days of military flying. The pretty Robert Taylor even has one of his very first (tiny) roles in it. Set and...- Wire9Vintage

If I have THIS on hand, what can I make?
Excellent. Greyhounds worked quite nicely, thank you. And I added just a splash of Triple Sec to sweeten it up a bit. Lovely. And we actually have a greyhound, so how appropriate (?!).- Wire9Vintage

If I have THIS on hand, what can I make?
Hi, all you lovely experts! I'm rubish at the whole mixed drink thing, but I want to be good at it. I always go into a panic in a bar when I'm asked what I'd like to drink, as I've never come up with my "signature" drink. My question for you all today is: If I have vodka, Hendricks gin...- Wire9Vintage

Show us your vintage patterns!
I got these sweeties today. I'm going to take a stab at the pants on the Advance pattern and the Adams 4594. The other Adams is too small. In my excitement, I thought the two Adams patterns were the same size. Oh well...- Wire9Vintage

Show us your vintage patterns!
I agree with saycici. That would be very cute! The skirt is intended to go over the romper, correct? I have a 1943 Life Magazine with a whole photo spread on rompers with skirts that would go over them (or not, as the case may be). The story included instructions, even, for taking the skirt off...- Wire9Vintage

Gloves: sizing, etiquette and all other stuff
I have two pairs of vintage gloves that I adore. But, alas, I'm only brave enough to wear them in winter. One pair is dark grey, and the other is kind of a rust. They were intended to be fairly dressy in their day, with the rust pair being long with little pearl buttons at each wrist. I...- Wire9Vintage

The Cleaning Clothes (vintage or other) Thread
Biz is amazing stuff. It's shocking what comes out of clothes with that stuff. And I've never had it damage anything, even soaking for two days. Target carries it, for sure.- Wire9Vintage

Do you have vintage kids?
Good for you, December! Being a little different--and knowing what to do with that difference in a positive way--can be so empowering. My daughters don't follow the herd in their choices, so far in clothes, music, reading, entertainment. I'm hoping that is a trend that will continue when other...- Wire9Vintage

Do you have vintage kids?
I'm curious... Those of you with children, do they dress vintage? Do they like vintage? Do you do vintage toys? Books? Etc? I have two girls who both love vintage (one especially, one sometimes). The younger one LOVES anything pre 40s (and would wear it if we could ever find it!). The older...- Wire9Vintage

Is it possibly dimity cotton? Although, that usually has more uniform spacing between the bars... What weight is it? It almost looks like denim in the pic.- Wire9Vintage
