    Dry-cleaner vs manufacturer- who is responsible?

    Well, I was prepared to go to the dry cleaners with guns blazing and to stand my ground, but was completely deflated after they brought out the coat. The inside tag says P and doesn't mention anything about delicate or specialist dry cleaning or covering the buttons. Moreover, they had covered...

    Dry-cleaner vs manufacturer- who is responsible?

    Yes, thanks Paul! The buttons are painted metal apparently. I'll be going there later to see how bad it is.

    Dry-cleaner vs manufacturer- who is responsible?

    I'm starting to think that it is really the dry cleaners fault after all. I'll drag hubby there tomorrow to have a look. They did say if I could cut the buttons off, they could clean it again and think the dye would disappear, but I'd have to attach the buttons again. And obviously the buttons...

    Vintage Fur Felt Cloche in XL??

    Not sure how much you are willing to spend, but I would contact some of the Etsy millinery shops and see if they can custom make her one to the size required. I am sure there are several who would!

    Dry-cleaner vs manufacturer- who is responsible?

    Thanks for your replies :) I didn't cry, but I did phone the local trading standards office and they gave me templates for letters to write and also said I had possibly two cases and could pursue both or either one. The shop has no emailed me back and asked for photos of the damage, after which...

    Couple Married 72 Years Dies Holding Hands

    Well, although it is a nice soppy love story I am most disturbed by the fact that a 94 year old was driving without paying attention and crashed into an innocent driver who was unable to stop. I read in other reports that the other car contained two people, also a couple, one of whom is...

    Dry-cleaner vs manufacturer- who is responsible?

    I was wondering if anybody could tell me who is responsible for this dilemma. I have a cream coloured winter coat with big black buttons, which cost £200 new and which is 2-3 years old. I only got it dry cleaned for the first time last week, and apparently the label just stated it was a P. The...

    Remoulding lipsticks to fit mini tubes

    Not sure if this helps, but perhaps you could make a wand out of cardboard until it's dry? http://vixenvintage.blogspot.com/2011/06/melting-lipsticks.html

    Does your body change every 7 years?

    ^Probably, but she was a great believer, so if it makes her feel better :D To be fair, I am told that I haven't changed much since I was a teenager, apart from changing my hair colour and style. I have gained weight, but only because I injured my foot and exercise much less than I used to and...

    Does your body change every 7 years?

    When I was a child a lady once told me she waited 7 years in between having children because our cells change slightly and she wanted kids who were really different from each other, and she said it worked (of course there are twins or children a year apart that are really different from each...

    Wow, so so beautiful! I signed up for that course and bought the actual magazine for the pattern as I don't have a printer, but haven't started yet. If mine turns out half as nice as your's I'll be a happy bunny.

    Finding the Palest Foundation

    I use Lily Lolo setting powder, which is white but goes on translucent. It comes in matte or silky and I highly recommend it!
