    ~Recreating Hair styles of the 1940s~

    That video is wonderful! Does anybody know any other video tutorials with other vintage hairstyles?

    Can you help me date this item??

    It is difficult, but fun to try to date clothing. Reading this thread, it dawned upon me that we always think of what's "typical" for a period, but in real life not all clothing is! Not everything is modern and bears the characteristics of the period. I mean, some brands today still make clothes...

    Can you help me date this item??

    It`s got that Peter Pan-collar that was so popular in the 50s, but something about the shoulder details, with the pockets, make me want to say 40s. So I agree with the other girls, late 40s or 50s. Great dress!

    Let's Be Gorgeous!

    Very nice thread! I am beautiful and cute, my best features are my body language and personality. Physically, I have a gorgeous face and long, soft, flowing hair. Good legs and very cute, little feet. And according to my man, my (rather sagging) bottom is wonderful too. On a good day, I even...

    retro make-up tips and tricks

    I would not recommend any skin-bleaching products. As I understand, it can really harm your skin, and many of the ingredients are not healthy. Stay with make-up instead!:)

    Vintage Makeup Favorites

    I`m going to a LARP set in 1951, Norway, and I always get a thrill if I have the historical correct nick-nacks with me at this events. Right now, I want the perfect make-up bag: I`m not only thinking colors, but the right packaging too! Eyeliners, mascara, lipstick and blush. For foundation I...

    human hair nets

    As I understand, (and I am really NOT an expert at this), the crazy Victorians loved to collect the hair of their brushes and then make something "nice" out of it: They would make false braids and such, to add to their hair, and I have also seen hair nets made of hair. Stranger even, they...

    How to treat a lady...?

    Lady Day is SO right on the spot here. In my group of friends, we call the phenonmen "The Friend trap". That`s when a guy signals that he likes a girl, but are not clear enough that he wants more than friendship. Then, it does not take long before the girl has placed him in the "friends"catgory...

    Can you identify a use for this unusual detail?

    Slightly :offtopic: What are dressclips? Love the dress, btw!

    Sensative Eyes

    If you tolerate mineral makeup, everyday minerals (http://www.everydayminerals.com/g?t=kits) are really cheap. (Ex: 18 dollars for 10 shadows., 2.50/6 dollars pr. single shadow.) I have not tried their eyesahadows, but I love their powders and foundation.

    Face Powder Face Off

    Fair, and happy with it? I have noticed that many of you girls say that you have very fair skin, and that you therefore want very pale powder/foundation to match it. (Like me!) In daily life, I seldom meet girls who look as pale as me, or who uses as pale powder. Also, considering how difficult...

    Are you more of a vintage girl, or a modern girl?

    I`m vintage and feminine on the outside, but on the inside I`m VERY modern. I hate it when people jugde me based on my sex, ("As a woman, you are....") and I am not at all conserned if the things I do are considered feminine or not. I would never dream of staying home if I got kids, other...

    Face Powder Face Off

    I will recommend the foundation and powders from everydayminerals.com. They have a wide variety of colors, also many different very fair hues for cold, neutral or warm undertones. I have very fair complexion, and this is the only place I have found makeup to match my skin perfectly. All...

    dressing up?

    If you have a friend and some orient/harem-ish costume, the two of you can dress up as Salome and John the Baptists head on a platter. One of you does haremclothes and is Salome. The other one paints on/puts on a beard, makes a platter out of cardboard and sticks his head through, add some...

    Does anyone find that vintage clothing is more comfortable then modern clothing?

    I think so too, it`s the best buy of my life! To my experience, ebay sometimes is flowed over by these kind of trousers and sometimes they are not to be found. When they are out there, there are many different waist and leg-measurements to be found. I checked a couple of days ago, and there...

    New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

    Back in the old days, things got so bad here that a lot of Norwegians got fed up and left. When it comes to Bergen, i strongly suspect the weather had something to do with it. It rains all the time! Or it could be the local cooking, one of the must treasured traditional dishes is burnt sheeps...

    40s 50s carved wegde shoes.

    Thank you! Then I have so far paid reasonable prices. But then again, when I think of the craftsmanship, quality and style, almost any price is a steal... Anybody else collecting these shoes?

    "The Amy Vanderbilt Success Program for Women"

    Helpful? It would be totally wonderful! I love those kind of books! I`m still trying to find my own copy of "The Womens Encyclopedia" which I think might be the Norwegian equivalent to your books. Oh, pretty please with sugar on top, let us see those books!

    40s 50s carved wegde shoes.

    I have recently started collecting South Pacific souvenir shoes from the 40s/50s. (If two pairs count as a collection, that is. But this is just the start!) I am talking about the wonderful shoes with carved, wooden wedge heels, that became popular as souvenirs. As I understand, many soldiers...
