    Black-tie/cocktail dress?

    It is a lovely dress, but I'm not quite sure it meets a black tie code. I'd rather you be over-dressed than under-dressed at an event to be comfortable. I've seen a smattering of cocktail length gowns at black tie events in the past couple years, but it is usually during the warmer months and...

    Show us your vintage patterns!

    I think it depends on how much you want that particular pattern. You know, the one you keep losing to someone else on ebay - or the mystical 'perfect outfit.' Nevermind the 'yahoo's on ebay who bid up every single pattern, no matter how commonplace. I think the most I've ever paid was $50 for...

    Post-Mortem Photography

    Still very popular in the South, as well. Pictures are taken at wakes, of the surviving family members and usually of the headstone itself. I think it's just that photography has come so far. It's so prevalent nowadays. Most people have cameras hooked up to their computers, one on their...

    Post-Mortem Photography

    Another Halloween weekend thread: A common practice during the 19th Century and even into the early 20th Century, post-mortem photography provided a family with a memento of the deceased. . .sometimes the only picture ever taken of someone. Early examples were rather bare bones (if...

    Dress form advice??

    The one I linked to is a foam form - which usually is compressed by the cover that you buy in a size more closely to your measurements and then adjust further. If you're like some of us, who are not as well endowed as the dress form, you might have to perform some minor surgery to accurately...

    Dress form advice??

    I went with this dressform. (From that seller as well.) Once you get it fitted to your size, it's a dream to work with. And at $129, definitely budgetable.

    Care To Dance??

    I think I remember you. :D Just kidding. But once on a cruise a guy was asked to leave the dance lesson (I'm thinking it's because he was groping his partners, though.)
