How to... get the grown-up vintage look
I agree with BenStephens and Miss Neecerie. It's just the normal buzz word and focused on the fashion populous as a whole. I kind of like their take on mixing vintage in to our normal wardrobe.

Sewing Lessons & FAQ
Totally. I was trying to think of how they would heat the edges just to melt it a bit to hold the shape and that makes total sense.- Lauren

Sewing Lessons & FAQ
Ditto above. It's probably some crazy kind of tightly knitted (or woven) synthetic. If you spaced them out more you could do a facing (like a bound buttonhole), but that tightly together, you'd have to do a super tiny bias facing and I think it would distort.- Lauren

I *finally* won a McCall pattern catalog after wanting one for YEARS! I'm turning 30 in under a month, so I figure it's an early birthday present to myself :D :D :D I really didn't expect to win it, and then at the last minute my computer froze up, so I thought my bid didn't go through but it...- Lauren

Paris fashion advice..thankyou
Ooh! I wish I was going! We were there last year and I wore mostly wide leg pants (in linen and in narrow cordoroy) with button down short sleeve shirts and cardigans. I had a somewhat tailored looking blazer I threw on over everything for evenings. It was mostly warm when we were there...- Lauren

I don't like the material modern slips are made out of (a few of the ones I have are static monsters so somewhat defeat...- Lauren

Thanks, gals! MarieAnne, it's not straight from the hip- it flares a little bit at the hem... kind of somewhere between a pencil skirt and an A line skirt, I guess. The buttons are what got me :)- Lauren

Vintage Buttons Yay!!
Ooh! That's so nice of you! I'm waiting on my fabric to get here, then I'm going to decide on a pattern, but it's going to be more of a day/afternoon frock I think. :D- Lauren
