Wedding photos I thought you might enjoy
Congratulations! You look gorgeous. I love that all the bridesmaids had different vintage style dresses. So nice to see a wedding dress that isn't strapless for a change.- Idledame

Can you help me date this item??
My guess would be late 40s to mid 50s. I think that was when those 3/4 length sleeves were popular. We'll see if anyone agrees or not!- Idledame

Cute Vintage-y Shoes
I always thought that if you were right handed your right foot would be slightly bigger. I'll have to really pay attention now! Welcome to the lounge Carmen. We can always use more ladies showing us more shoes!- Idledame

Washing rayon?
Anyone else have experience that sometimes wet rayon crepe REALLY smells- a strange unique smell, but the smell lessens as garment dries?- Idledame

Washing rayon?
A spray bottle of water works great to get fabric just damp enough to get wrinkles out, so you don't have to rewash the garment. My mom used to lightly spray all the clothes with water and put them in a plastic bag for a few hours before ironing, the wrinkles would all relax. But DO NOT forget...- Idledame

Reconstructing Suzy Homemaker
As I said, I was born in 1949, but I was suggesting she talk to people in their 70's and 80s who would have more detailed memories of what a woman's life was like in the late 40s, early 50s. I was 6 in 1955 so my memories of what my mom wore and did obviously would not be as clear as the...- Idledame

I was thinking, There are bound to be groups of senior citizens that get together for various activities in your town, or a home for older people. They would LOVE it if you went and talked to them. You would hear some amazing stories and have all your questions answered.- Idledame

Reconstructing Suzy Homemaker
I was born in 1949, my brother in 1942. We lived in Seal Beach California. We had a tiny 3 bedroom house on a block full of similar houses built after the war when there was a housing shortage. My father owned a dry cleaning store and my mother was a homemaker. When I was little we only had one...- Idledame

Washing rayon?
Another warning on something I found out the hard way: just because a garment is washable doesn't mean you can soak it over night!. The hem tape from the 30s/40s is not always totally colorfast. I noticed the water getting brown the first time I washed a very dingy brown and white dress, but I...- Idledame

Vintage for the over 40 crowd
I'm over 60 and there are a lot of older woman out there dressing vintage, but of course in Los Angeles we have a big vintage community. Yes, some of the styles are too young, some probably make me look dowdy, but then, I have the same problem with modern clothes, so maybe it's just me. It's...- Idledame
