oh no! it sounds as if DGs run small! i just bought a pair on ebay tonight but it sounds like they may be ending up in the classified's. what was i thinking, buying before checking this thread first! lol
thanks for all the compliments on my sunglasses, ladies!
here is item number two in my two-item post-breakup vintage-buying spree:
i was the only bidder and got them for under $15 including the shipping!
actually i've been thinking about getting a perm! granted, it's to aid in 40s hair-doing, not 80s.
i can remember in the late 80s/early 90s, bemoaning my mother's refusal to let me get a perm. now, looking back at classmates AND at what a huge dork i already was at age 10, i'm REALLY glad she...
i am now KICKING myself, thank you. a few months ago there was a c. 1950 knitting machine listed on craigslist. it was up for weeks and i debated buying it the whole time, and then i didn't. it was in "like new" condition, and came with all the instructions and everything! $100. i was...
i just bought the most ridiculously fantastic sunglasses! i took my friend to the shop since she's visiting from london and wanted vintage frames. she walked out with 3 fabulous pairs (all deadstock), and i walked out with these! she and the owner pretty much forced me to buy them. i got a...
although i don't advocate eating bacon on donuts or on anything else, i've seen them in person and they don't usually look that bad. that's what my totally normal Portland Creme donuts from VD (haha) look like when i pull them out of the bag after it's been shoved in my messenger bag after...
my finances have been such a disaster since i got out of college. partially because of the obsession i had several years before that of HAVING TO HAVE this or that particular vintage item. there's more to my debt than that, but it definitely set me up to not have any savings in my 20's and thus...
ok gals, instead of whining in the bathing suit thread, i'm gonna post here.
so. from riding my bike so much (and probably just being in my late 20s), my extra weight is starting to distribute itself in a really ugly way. basically, my legs, hips and butt are reasonably shapely, but my...
thanks everyone, for posting the pics. i just wish i could try one on first! i'm worried about the fact that anything i get will be both too small for my waist AND too big for my hips. i'm going to go post in the nutrition-and-exercise thread now :o
PDM, they have prints on their website...
the thing i'm concerned about is getting a size that will fit *all* my measurements. no two are in the same size category! my top is a 16, my waist is a little over a 16, and my hips are between a 10 and 12! i'm not curvy in a vintage way, i guess... or a modern way since more modern suits don't...
ladies, please post pics of the esther williams suits (and thanks for doing so, shearer)! i'm vowing to get myself one before summer hits so i can avoid the whole last-minute bathing-suit panic, which usually results in me not getting a swimsuit and hating my body for a week. :rolleyes:
