Can you help me date this item??
Gorgeous suits! I love the one with the insets. Could possible be very early 50s (like 1950) but I'd say probably mid to late 40s.- Lauren

Ladies show us your best.
HA! I actually haven't seen him for quite a while, but he still looked relatively the same when I saw him last :) Though he's more indie rock than vintage these days. This must have been... 2005 maybe? Was the year before the Classic Style magazine launch at the Queen Mary event.- Lauren

What A Girl Scout Knew In 1923
Dang. If we did all that cool outdoorsy stuff I would have loved girl scouts. My girl scout experience began and ended with a dance performance of a song by Wham! I dropped out and did all my fort building with my cousins instead lol- Lauren

Dressing Vintage so as not to Garner Attention
I live in an area where no one dresses vintage and no one ever comments that I'm out of the ordinary :) And if they do it's complementary (phew!). But I very rarely go all out vintage- mostly just for special events. Day to day I dress casually by vintage standards- usually wear high waist...- Lauren

Sewing Lessons & FAQ
That is lovely! Love the color! I hate doing hems on full skirts with curved hems. It's so tricky! I have found that doing a very narrow hem with bias tape like a facing is a lot easier than trying to get a regular hem to lay flat. Ditto the hem marker. I love mine to pieces! I have to...- Lauren

It's like the fabric store that time forgot... and they still have some 70s interior fabrics in there (ick). lol I have another question... I found this today. Am I...- Lauren

Fur Question!
That's a great idea. They were also making new ones that looked very vintage with the faux fur collars just like the vintage one you pictured not that long ago.- Lauren

Fur Question!
They did make them with faux fur but they're not as common. I have a faux fur jacket from the 1940s. It's actually pretty good- unless you get right up to it and touch it it's hard to tell. Nothing like modern faux fur- some of that stuff is unbelievable (but so are the prices. Eek!). Hard...- Lauren

The pixies come at night...
They steal my bobbins, hand sewing needles, and writing pens! Darn pixies. I'm having the scene from My Man Godfrey in my head... "I don't like them, but I don't like to see them stepped on".- Lauren

Help Copying Grandma's slip
Lovely! I'd probably go with a charmeuse fabric. Silk is yummy and as soft as butter. Kind of a pain to sew but worth it :)- Lauren
