Daniela Turudich Second Edition - it's being reprinted and it's affordable!
Just a heads up - I received my copy of the book from Amazon today and was so disappointed. It is a soft cover, and very thin, but the most shocking thing is the quality of the illustrations and photos. If a home printer printed to that standard, most people would return it. All the... -

That is so funny, because I never bought it at the time but am completely obsessed with finding one now! I even bought postcard fabric to make a dress, though in a turquoise colour, but it'll never be the same...- Drappa

GoldenEraFan, amazing outfits, they look like they were made for you! I especially love the striped jacket in the last photo.- Drappa

Cute Vintage-y Shoes
Although they don't have the same heel, you could try Draper of Glastonbury boots in black - authentic looking, very warm and very comfy. http://www.draper-of-glastonbury.com/products/17/dartmoor- Drappa

Thanks Miss Golightly :) Oh no, do they ship to Dublin though? Their sales always confuse me, as the items tend to be even cheaper once they ring it in at the till, but it would be more helpful to just label them right away! I got the red dress at half price sale, but since then the price has...- Drappa

Thank you Lindabelle, it arrived yesterday and it is in such good condition, too. I have since learned that the one in Life magazine is actually a dress with a yellow midriff. I'm trying to find out which issue of Life it is so that I can buy it as well when I find it.- Drappa

current dress trends
Yes, in fact I do. Preferably I'd like to solve it with others who can emphatise, not those who minimise or lecture. The first step to this solution would be getting rid of constant male condescension and people like yourself telling me or other women which "perspectives" we should consider, how...- Drappa

No, you are not giving anyone a tool to not feel bad about themselves. What you are doing is completely discrediting a lot of womens' experiences, despite a few telling you that you got us all wrong, as well as ignoring at least three generations of feminist researchers who have clearly laid out...- Drappa

current dress trends
Thank you for this! Of course people (men included) sometimes assume that their own experience and feeling is the one and only truth, but this is where common sense and compassion should kick in. The only people who know how mainstream fashion makes them feel and fits them are the affected women...- Drappa

current dress trends
Although there is an immense amount of pressure to be ridiculously thin today, I don't think that body policing was absent or not as harsh back then. Shapewear was worn in order to conform to an ideal - different shapewear at different times. I have seen plenty of vintage ads trying to sell...- Drappa

It is certainly not only men who try to dress exactly like their kids around here in three quarter length shorts, trainers and silly slogan t-shirts. Not a day goes by where I don't see women between 30 and 60 in leggings and Ugg boots or high heeled ankle boots, walking alongside their...- Drappa

high end vs low end products ?
Just to let you know that Body Shop is owned by L'Oreal now and has been for some time :( -

Lovely purchases everyone! I actually haven't bought very much vintage lately, for some reason I have felt rather uninspired or been unable to afford what I did find. However, I am thrilled that I just won this skirt by Henry Rosenfeld, especially since I came upon a picture from a 1955 Life...- Drappa

Deodorant Question
Oh wow! Until now I never checked the ingredients list - I just assumed it must have been that because all the other ones had aluminium and my doctor suggested that could be the cause. Hmm, may need to look for alternatives now.- Drappa

Deodorant Question
I got terrible rashes from deoderants that contained aluminium and the crystals didn't do anything for me. I tried Tom's of Maine but found it didn't work that well. My dad told me about Hidrofugal and I've been using it for years now - it works a charm, is clear and lasts a while. However, I...- Drappa

Vintage-Inspired clothing lines
It's two, apart form very few designers. A US 6 is a UK 10, a US 4 is a UK 8, US 8 is a UK 12 etc. Online conversion charts are really misleading quite often.- Drappa
