WHAT CAN THE FEDORA LOUNGE DO FOR YOU?
I've met some great ladies with like interests in the Powder Room. Even though I have never met most of them, I still consider them good friends and would be upset if we ever parted. I've learned that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes and that's it's not the outside, but rather the...- Amy Jeanne

Sewing Lessons & FAQ
A side zip will absolutely help get it over your shoulders and bust. Don't expect it to slide right on, though -- there's still going to be some "vintage effort" when you put it on. If the material is weak it might not be a very good idea in the first place. If not, maybe you can try hook...- Amy Jeanne

THE Dress - Butterick 4790
It ain't wrong. I dislike everything about "the dress" (I only like to see how people design it!) Mine bags under my arms no matter what I do, the underdress rides up, and the full outer skirt makes me feel like I'm lugging it around (as opposed to WEARING it!) Plus I think I look fat in it...- Amy Jeanne

Is dressing vintage a purely modern day phenomenon?
My dad knows nothing about his grandparents -- didn't even know his grandmother's maiden name. I know more than he does because I looked her up on ancestry.com! As for vintage dressing the the "golden era" - I think only the rich and elite could take it as far as Duncan's brother. Remember...- Amy Jeanne

Is dressing vintage a purely modern day phenomenon?
I've always wondered myself. I can only go by what those close to me have told me, though: My dad, who was born in 1941, told me that when he was a young man in the 50s and 60s "old" things from the 20s and 30s were pretty much laughed at. To this day he still equates fingerwaved hair with...- Amy Jeanne

Show us your vintage patterns!
I got an explanation from the lovely Lauren on my FB. Apparently, pre-1930s pattern sizes were done in years. She thinks "10 Years" might be a 28" bust (as in a size 10 pattern). Odd they would just throw this one in the mix like this. This is obviously 1940s and all other HW patterns that...- Amy Jeanne

Show us your vintage patterns!
I just bought these from ebay: What does "10 Years" mean? I have another Hollywood pattern that says "8 Years", but it has little girls on the cover. This looks like an adult. Is this meant to be a teenage pattern?- Amy Jeanne

1932 again?
:eusa_clap :eusa_clap One of my pet peeves is people who compare today to the 1930s Depression. Puh-leez. And yes, the movies were brilliant in '32, weren't they? ;)- Amy Jeanne

The Rockabilly Make Up Thread
I wear colour eyeshadow -- at least three different colours from my lashes to my brows. Usually a bold colour on the lid (whatever matches my outfit) and white shimmer on the brow bone. Depending on what I am wearing I also like to put a dash of colour in my inner corners OR in my crease...- Amy Jeanne

Rockabilly Clothes
I second making your own. Much cheaper than repro or real vintage, more fun, and you can customise the garment to your exact liking and size. And patterns are pretty cheap :)- Amy Jeanne

Any ladies still sporting a pixie cut?
I had a pixie from 1998 to 2001. Not the look I want to go for these days. Cute on others -- looks HORRIBLE on me.- Amy Jeanne

Beach Pyjamas? They were trousers, but they were long and very, very wide so they practically were a long dress. Like these:- Amy Jeanne

Just gotta rant...vintage sellers who drive me nuts!
I find this so amusing becase you can buy vintage magazines for $7 shipped. THE ENTIRE MAGAZINE! A tiny 2" by 2" ad is NOT worth $15 lol- Amy Jeanne
