    The shortest hair in the 40s and 50s?

    The Leslie Caron 'do is a good example of short-short 1950s hair. Also Jean Seberg!! The shortest I ever had my hair was a chelsea. Then I had a pixie in the late 90s (Winona Ryder was my hair idol at that time). I would never ever cut my hair short again, though.

    Exercise and vintage style

    I don't even bother with vintage styling when I work out strenuously. I'd feel like a clown if I did. I leave the vintage styling to the RESULTS of my working out -- not the act itself. Like KittyT said -- I'm past feeling like I have to look vintage 24/7. I do work out multiple...

    Best repro/retro patterns for vintage styles

    WOW Lottie!! I made this dress and it was awful looking at terribly unflattering on me -- looked NOTHING like the artwork. Yours is perfect! I also agree -- this was EASY to make!! RE EVADRESS: I find that EvaDress patterns are either too short or too long in the torso. I don't use...

    Most Over-rated Actress of the Golden Era?

    I'm with you here, too, LM!! Garbo in talkies puts me to sleep. Seriously, I've only finished Susan Lennox -- the others were so dull I really couldn't take it. Her silents are pretty good, though. Not my faves, but watchable.

    Most Over-rated Actress of the Golden Era?

    I feel the same way about Miss Brooks. Her acting was non-existant. I've seen quite a few of her films, too, not just the big iconic German ones. I hate the movie Pandora's Box. What a bunch of pretentious bull!!! lol Sometimes I think people confuse her beauty with talent.

    Question for the seamstresses

    I had a professional friend show me the basics in September 2008, but mostly I taught myself. I just kept at it and loved every minute of it. I had just turned 33. When I was 12 I made a pillow in Home Ec. I LOVED it!! Everything from picking out the fabric to creating the design, to...

    Most Over-rated Actress of the Golden Era?

    I still say Kate Hepburn. She's the only Golden Era actress I really despise. I think her acting is forced, overly-theatrical, loud, and obnoxious. I really don't see what most others see and don't try to convince me otherwise because I've already tryed myself (I've seen a LOT of her films...

    Body Shape Questions

    I took on an asexual/androgynous look to hide my womanhood, too. I bought men's clothing!!! Looking back, it was awful and I even have a nickname for this time in my life lol I started wishing I was a boy at age 11 and this lasted until I was 20. I never became super-feminine until last...

    Show us your favourite vintage dresses!

    I only own a few real vintage dresses. This is almost all of them lol. This belonged to my great grandmother. I don't care if this is 70s and made of nasty-ish polyester -- it's beautiful. I found it at Salvation Army. On the "sale" rack at a poncy "antique" shop. It was my...

    Body Shape Questions

    Whoooo, Fleur! Never thought of it from this perspective. My perspective is that I literally grew to a full D by the time I was 12. I got my period at 9 :eek: All this happened to me at such a young age I wasn't ready to be a woman yet!! I was literally ASHAMED of my large rack. I still...
