I'm still relatively new to sewing, but that's good that more are getting into it and enthused by it, right?? But even though I'm so new, I'm sitting here reading all your comments and nodding my head going "Uh huh!" 1. It's AWESOME knowing I can make a dress BETTER than SS and CHEAPER...- Amy Jeanne

Grooming: From Low Maintenance to High Maintenance
Ok, I know what I'm going to do when I get home lol As for my maintenance level -- it's very very low. Dressing vintage is a second nature to me so it's just a matter of picking out what I want to wear. Makeup takes me 5 minutes (concealer under the eyes, black shadow lining the eyes...- Amy Jeanne

Who Loves Linen?
Linen is my favourite. I'm making DuBarry 1985B right now in a lovely sky blue linen with little flecks in it. When I want something classic and more "period correct" looking I'll make it in good ol' linen!- Amy Jeanne

Thinking about a tattoo, but is it what good girls did in the 1940's?
Here's what I think of tattoos, dressing vintage, and how it "ruins" my look :rolleyes: : http://snapped-garters.blogspot.com/2009/07/vintage-tattoos.html I wear 30s and 40s house dresses, do my hair in marcel waves, and all my tattoos are 20s and 30s-inspired. I plan to get more -- I...- Amy Jeanne

1920s One-Hour Dress
Bumping this one up. I'd really love to see everyone's variations of the one-hour dress! I just treated myself to a reproduction of the 1925 pamphlet and plan on making it as soon as I get it! I'm sure many of you know about Bramcost Publications, but for those who don't they reproduce...- Amy Jeanne

Dress forms
I have an adjustable one that was on clearance at Jo-Ann's. I don't really use it to make alterations as the hip and bust adjustments do not produce my waist size. I use it to figure out how to put things together and it's good for the hem, too!! Also, she always looks better in the finished...- Amy Jeanne
