I've seen women who wear vintage sporting sailor dress while on a boat.
Also there are a few movies where the actress(s) are on cruise ships. Here are some youtube clips.
1. Love Affair (1939)

Great hat rack. When I go to singing rehearsal in the winter the coat rack has a long flat rack attached to the top. I get a kick out of it when ever I place my hat and lunch box on top.
I saw this blog mentioned on another blog http://dapperashell.blogspot.com/ some post may or may not be about vintage attire. I found it quite interesting.
I tried looking for the movie but could not find it online to view it. However, I did find a wee bit of information on weikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petticoat The one thing I do not like about weikipedia is since anyone can ad their own information to the mix. Who knows if the...
Sorry not 1950's: I was watching the documentary The 1940's house and the ladies of the house were doing exercises. And I have always been on the look out for an 1940's exercise book. I saw a few photos from one posted on Solanah's twitter page.

I was not able to since I did not know which apartment building the teen lived in. There are three apartment buildings that share the laundry room. Plus its creepy in the builds laundry room. Since there are no windows. I take my chances everytime I choose to stay and wash my...
I had that happen to me once. I loaded my clothing in the washer in the buildings laundry room one day. And I was only using the one double loader washing machine. When this teenage kid came in to do his laundry. We ran into the laundry room before and I had no problem leaving my clothing to...
The outside bottom of the sole is thick and rubber which is fantastic. For me I only find the insoles feel thin. That is why I use the air pilos. I also clean my saddle shoes with a paper towel and Angelus 802 spot remover.
Thanks for the info on the Bass shoes I bought a pair of their penny...
I bought my Payless saddle shoes from ebay and they lasted me five years. I did not wear them everyday I wore them once in a while. They are so comfortable.
When I first bought the saddle shoes I did not know they were a Payless brand until I got them. They are wonderful shoes the soles are...
I have a portable mini washing machine (it comes in handy when I don't have the time to do laundry in the laundryroom)and put my drying rack in the bath tub to dry my clothing. I also have a mini clothes line in the bath over the tub too. I only dry my none vintage clothing in the dryer.
They...
Here is a great web site that posts estate sales for any state/city you live in. http://www.estatesale.com/ I find the zip code finder works best. I do not know if this web site listes UK estate sales.
I agree with Lizzie.
What I have learned is to add vinegar to the wash on the rinse cycle (do not pour on the clothing) add to the rinse water a half a cup works best in place of fabric softener. Your clothes will not smell like vinegar once they are dry. On dry clean only items you can spray...
I have not been able to curl my hair much these days do to the extreme heat that is visiting these days. I pin curled my hair for the first time in months. And was very pleased with the results. I learned with past attempts I was adding to much hair to the pin curl my hair is medium thick. I...
SheepLady thank you for posting the link for the vintage GoodHousekeeping magazine. I always come back to GH even the modern one is still worth reading for my taste.
There are also a couple of blogs I read that offer real vintage/retro style and living. Nothing Rockabilly (for me meaning to...
