eBay fit woes
Pink Dahlia--it's so true--I just can't buy clothes that "might" fit anymore. I will say this tho'. I have started looking at some of the tinier fifties dresses with gathered skirts with a lovely pattern. And I'm -gasp- taking it apart to make a nifty skirt for myself. So naughty I know, but I...- Miss Dottie

Hair rats
I bought a vanity set for my dresser that had the perfect hair recepticle (sp?) and in about a week I filled it with hair. I have some hair rats that a friend gave me from when she used to dress vintage "back in the day" (that day being the height of the swing craze from 1996 to 2000) and...- Miss Dottie

eBay fit woes
Does anyone else buy dresses off of eBay to only find that they don't fit quite properly, or look kinda wonky on? I've just been on such a losing streak recently with the past few dresses I bought on eBay. Any tips, suggestions? I do all of the measurements...- Miss Dottie

Fruit Fetish?
I must admit to a bit of a fruit fetish myself. If it's got fruit on it, I naturally want to buy it. I have a friend that has completely commandeered CHERRIES as her thing. She too has a vintage soul and I must admit I love every outfit. Another friend is obsessed with all things pineapple...- Miss Dottie

Am I BLUE...
Oh my! I'm in the same mood. Weepy, wingey, and crabby as all get out. I tried to work out this morning. Got a migraine and then threw up to boot. My sweetie is making me toast and I'm hiding under the covers to escape it all. When these bouts of blah happen and people are crabby, I just feel...- Miss Dottie

Thrifting Tips
Congrats Shooshoo baby! I can't wait to see some of your finds from the new job. But someone brought up a good point--going to misc. places can lead to loads of good stuff. Another thrifting tip--check out thrift stores near large retirement communities. I always get the best stuff when I...- Miss Dottie

How old is everyone?
That just made my day! But I have been thinking about changing photos--I'm not smiling in that picture and I'm always smiling. :) It doesn't convey as much friendliness as I'd like to!- Miss Dottie

Plus Size Vintage
I'm heading to check out the classifieds right now! Thanks for the heads up. And it's true--it is tough to find vintage clothes that fit at times, but yes, eBay has been very helpful, but so many were hand made to the very specific measurements of the wearer that there are always one offs.- Miss Dottie

Vintage Turning Point
Oh! One more thing. I'm not much of a religious person one way or another, but my love of vintage always made me think that reincarnation might be true. Why would so many people be interested in a time that they are not living in? And that so many people are just "drawn" to it or "born that...- Miss Dottie

Vintage Turning Point
This has been one of the most intriguing threads in the Fedora Lounge and I feel that I've learned so much about people. It's true--I think I'm just one of those people who have always been interested in vintage since I can remember. But I do recall a pretty defining point--my father took me...- Miss Dottie

Powder Room input
Interesting question, LD. I like that everything is in one place, however as far as searching goes I guess it is easier when everything is broken out--like one for clothing, one for hair/make-up and one for just girl talk. But I must say, that I always check into the powder room first and...- Miss Dottie
