Your Girdle: Make and Model
My current favorite girdle is the Rago Shapette 6209. This is a high-rise long leg panty girdle. Pros: The higher rise prevents "girdle goosh" at the waist area. It also helps my posture. I prefer a panty-style girdle because I walk a lot and live in a third-floor apartment; the longer legs...- Renee

Sleepytime Gal
I like the nightgowns by Lanz of Salburg; they're available at the Vermont Country Store. www.vermontcountrystore.com Not exactly vintage but pretty, and they last forever. I love the flannel ones in winter.- Renee

How to Pull Off a Look
ACM, the jeans really aren't that big of a deal. In fact, they're practical and durable for every day wear. They were work clothes, and right now school is your "daily work". :) The thing is, if you want to pull off more of a vintage look, you need to study the context in which denim was... -

The phone booth
Goodness, I haven't seen a real phone booth in ages and even public telephones seem scarcer. And how long has it been since you came across a public telephone with an actual directory attached? I do appreciate cell phones, though I rarely use mine. The last time I used a public phone the...- Renee

Hello!
I've already posted a few times, but wanted to give a quick introduction. I got interested in vintage-style dressing about five years ago, when I was looking for modest, feminine clothing. I wasn't interested in "plain" dress or one-piece denim jumpers, nor did I want to wear regency-style...- Renee

What is Forties "B" Hat aka Blastin Betty?
Are those fishing lures on that green hat?! :eek: I love the 1940's in general, but I think some of the ugliest hats I've seen also come from this era!- Renee

How to Pull Off a Look
I'll weigh in on the most recent pictures you've posted. Primarily, you're making a mistake that a lot of people make, in that you're trying to pair dressier elements with blue jeans. Blue jeans are fine, very practical for daily wear, but they were work clothes. Remember that when you wear... -

ORVIS FEDORA
That hat looks almost identical to one my husband bought in Austria. It's his "everyday" hat. The only difference is his band is woven leather and some type of twine, with a grosgrain ribbon over the join. His hat is also made of hare. This is a wonderful color, as it never shows dirt and goes... -

Alternatives to a fedora
I can see how some of those Balkan hats might be a little difficult to wear on a daily basis with regular clothes. The variations of the Tyrolean-style hats that I see here look quite good, have a little brim, and don't need a matching pair of lederhosen! -

Alternatives to a fedora
We live in northern Italy, and my husband's favorite "everyday" hat for cooler weather is from Austria. I would describe it as a slightly scaled-down fedora. It's felted, of hare hair, dark brown, with a braided leather and twine band. It's both practical and beautiful. (If you're able to get to...
