What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
I hear ya - put it this way, the last movie I saw in the cinema was Zodiac - it's rentals all the way since - quite possibly one of the reasons we could afford a complete refurb on our home! ;)- Miss Golightly

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
My husband was not keen on watching it but really enjoyed it in the end - I thought it was a great movie (a lot of positive reviews from the FL spurred me on to renting it) - fantastic performances, a great story both funny and very sad - I was so upset at the end of movie - the first time I...- Miss Golightly

To Alter or Not to Alter
Thanks again for your input Frenchy! Drappa - I think you might be right - I do have quite narrow shoulders so this could be whats making the dress sag like that. I've seen a few dresses that have a billowy back - often in chiffon (I have a silk chiffon number with a back like that - looks...- Miss Golightly

To Alter or Not to Alter
I will of course! Yes, the side seams are fine (maybe could be taken in slightly less than an inch perhaps) and there is no gaping under the arm and the waist is perfect so it is kind of bizarre - I'd love to know if any of the other ladies have bought a dress like this - perfect everywhere...- Miss Golightly

To Alter or Not to Alter
Thanks Frenchy! Well I don't think I could wear it as it is - reckon I could fit a small backpack in there (!) so I think I will get the back taken in and see how it goes from there. I have a good tailor who should be able to amend the back so it sits better on me - I think after that there...- Miss Golightly

To Alter or Not to Alter
No - I love dress and I'm happy with it overall - it's just the back is billowing not at the small of my back but nearer to the shoulder blades - I think it could be taken in (I've had this done on one or two dresses with great success) but I think it's more a case of whether I do anything with...- Miss Golightly

To Alter or Not to Alter
That is the question that I thought you ladies might be able to help me with! I got this lovely Parnes Feinstein dress some time ago but haven't worn it as yet as I'm not sure whether to alter it and if so what needs to be done. I believe a lot of dresses from say the early 1960s have a kind...- Miss Golightly

does it ever bother you that vintage clothing is a deceased person's clothing?
:eeek: I think that would freak me out ever so slightly! I was watching a documentary recently about the Clutter Family who were all brutally murdered in their home and the lady who currently owns the house has no problem living there whatsoever (can't say I would feel the same). She said that...- Miss Golightly

Not a big fan of feet either - so much so that I don't even wear sandals anymore and if I was to wear a peeptoe shoe it would have to be the kind with the tiniest, tiniest peeptoe so you would only see a tiny bit of nail (but that kind of shoe is hard to find). I find it rare to see anyone and...- Miss Golightly

You sound like quite the ghoul Amy Jeanne!;) I'm also a bit of a death hag - crime scene photos being one of my favorite ghoulish things! I love Findadeath (I also greatly enjoyed Scott Michael's Dearly Departed and Six Degrees of Helter Skelter) - I take it you're acquainted with the site...- Miss Golightly

does it ever bother you that vintage clothing is a deceased person's clothing?
No - it doesn't bother me in the least. I often wonder who owned the dress/coat before me, where did they buy it, for what occasion, were they delighted with it when they tried it on, where did they wear it to, what part of the world were they from, what did they look like? I don't ever...- Miss Golightly

What's for Dinner?
Vera - I had a feeling I wouldn't be alone on this one! The whole thing really grossed me out - I don't mind the odd tiny spider (they're quite cute) but having loads of them scuttling about *shiver*!!!!!!!!! Yes, so much - thank you!
