Time Warp Wives on DVD??
Hey all, I've heard a lot about the show Time Warp Wives, which was a BBC documentary, I think? Anyway, just wondering if there was a way to obtain or stream the show? Any info would be much appreciated :)- Lauren

What's on Top - Bras, panties, garter belts, slips, & stockings
Thanks so much! I actually found one at a thrift store today for only $2. Funnily enough it was the same as some I was looking at online for more! I guess I just lucked out. Gotta cut down the back, but heck- still quicker than making one!- Lauren

How much do you pay for dry cleaning?
Marymary, I actually haven't had anything else with sequins cleaned. That was enough! I think it was the chemicals that did it. I would contact the French Laundry- that's where I got my wedding dress done. It will be expensive, but if you want it cleaned that's probably the best route. I...- Lauren

Source for low back full length slips? Does anyone have any sources for long slips with low backs, like you'd wear under 30s evening gowns? I'm in a time crunch and ideally purchasing one new would be best. I thought LeLuxe had them, but I no longer see them on their site. Thanks much in...- Lauren

How much do you pay for dry cleaning?
I think it depends on what the dress is made up of but for plain cotton voile that's really expensive. If it had sequins or fur or was super ridiculously fragile that's one thing, but just a dry cleaning- sounds a little much. I've paid quite a lot for cleaning, but that was my early 1900s and...- Lauren

Lovely job, Inky! If you're in the LA area you can get those sandals at Olvera street. There's a vendor there who has them. Two years ago they were $40. Not sure how much they are now? When I was there they had tan, black, brown, red, and green. They're the same ones as listed on the ebay...- Lauren

When vintage becomes ' fashion' ..
Very true, Marla. Authentic head to toe vintage is still very costumey to the majority of mainstream fashion followers.- Lauren

When vintage becomes ' fashion' ..
I'm with the other gals. Vintage has been pretty popular for the last six or so years, and has been featured in magazines as such for as long if not longer. No biggie. It's really no different than swing culture being all the rage in the 1990s- the stuff is in demand. Don't worry- the stuff...- Lauren

The 1950s: The gateway era.
I think I got into this in a backwards sort of way. I was really into historical costumes first, then got into the Edwardian era which drew me to vintage, then slowly have been progressing upwards since then. Recently, within the last two or so years I've been drawn to the fifties because of...- Lauren

Show us your vintage patterns!
I've got mine in those long comic book storage boxes with each pattern in a plastic sleeve with notes on a label on the back about condition (if I've counted through them). I do them in different boxes per era, and then within that box per maker and per date. Though sometimes I jumble them all...- Lauren

Best and Co was pretty high class stuff. I've seen a lot of ads of theirs in old Vogue magazines. Probably equivalent to Bloomies today.- Lauren
