    The Golden Era's *ugliest* clothes

    I'm not a big fan of this skirt. Reminds me of the prints on 70s maxi dresses. Or maybe Pippi Longstocking?

    The Golden Era's *ugliest* clothes

    you're a sweetie, Amy Jeanne! :) I agree about the way jeans look in catalogs! Especially men's work denim. They always look made out of cardboard! lol In real life I think they're pretty awesome, though.

    The Golden Era's *ugliest* clothes

    Totally! Just like a lot of fashion today... just looking for the next trend. Some catch on and some don't (for reasons that can be obvious sometimes. lol )

    The Golden Era's *ugliest* clothes

    ^This :) Just gotta say, I didn't take anything personally, and I hope that no one took personally if I liked something they thought was ugly. I get a huge kick out of fads from back then- a lot of which were bizarre to say the least. If we're not supposed to say if we like something, I'll...

    High Waisted Pants & Jeans!

    LOVE those last two, Cherry Lips! I picked up some pretty obnoxious orange/red vintage fabric at a thrift store so was thinking of similar looks for summer- pairing the wild top with slim pants.

    T-Shirts on Women?

    Thanks for this, Amy Jeanne! Was this marketed in a particular way? Like with pants or anything? Just curious (and I want an excuse to wear t shirts more and say it's period correct). ;)

    Can you help me date this item??

    I don't know much about purses, but it looks 30s to me. Probably celluloid or bakelite for the frame and chain. Really cool find!

    Show us what you've made!

    Thanks so much for the comments on my dress :D Something I do when I try to get everything exactly on grain is use one of those big cardboard cutting mats you can get at fabric stores. They should have a 1 inch grid printed on the top. I'll line up my fabric and pin through it onto the...

    Oh my gosh, how clever!! I'll have to try that out sometime :) I wish I could commission you to make me one, but we're a bit money tight at the moment. :(

    OH MY GOSH. You are my hero. The shoe hat was made of awesome. How did you do that, if you don't mind me asking? I totally want one.

    Darling blouse, KamiKat! Love the fabric! Great pjs, Hell's Bells! Welcome to sewing. Your first project came out great! I just finished this dress this weekend :) The pattern was Eva Dress' 1932 Street or Tea Frock. I posted more about it on my blog here.

    Victorian Boots

    Oh wow- those strappy ones are beautiful! My boots were also hard on the inside. I just added jell insoles/arch support inserts and it was better :) But nails? How painful!

    Victorian Boots

    I own a pair, they're the two tone brown ones. Love them! They ran VERY narrow. I have narrow feet and I had to get mine stretched. Maybe that's why they remade them? I bought mine about three years ago.

    Imitation: Flattering or Litigious?

    I looked this up because I was interested. Even though Stop Staring calls it the B Davis dress, some of the folks who bought wholesale are calling it the Bette Davis dress, in some cases showing a photo of the star in page of the dress for sale. I can understand being somewhat upset about...

    Victorian Revival in 40s

    Oh my gosh, I have that fabric! The multicolored stripe with blue bodice. How funny! I made a dress with some of it here.

    Can you help me date this item??

    AAH! That's AWESOME. Wow. One of my favorite periods and looks. It's definitely Edwardian. I'd say 1905ish, maybe a little later but earlier than 1912. STUNNING!
