    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    Rue, that is very sweet. How many teenages are out there who find their moms pretty after all! What a sweetheart.

    Etiquette question

    Oh no no, I don't want to look bad, and since we don't go to many weddings or balls I am taking the opportunity to dress up and wear a hat because I love them. But I also don't want to draw too much attention being the ex and so on. I do want to look like I made an effort though, especially if...

    Etiquette question

    Thanks for all your input everyone! I am still a little torn, as the hat is also fairly expensive (for me), and I'd have to wait for it to arrive from the US and am not sure it would get here in time. I do love it though and think I'd wear it again. In the meantime I have found a few things to...

    Oh, that's what I was afraid of. If in doubt, don't I suppose. Off to search for silk tulips...

    Etiquette question

    This is the hat: This is the dress fabric: I am really tempted to make myself a tulip hat/fascinator, as I can't seem to find one, but have never made a hat so I don't want it to fall apart after an hour. And the last two weddings I attended some people turned up in jeans as well, at one...

    Etiquette question

    Sorry if there is a thread for this already, if so please move bartenders :) I am going to a wedding in August and am making myself a dress with a large red and green tulip print on a cream/white background. I have been looking at hats for weeks, and was about to give up when I spotted this...

    New Series "The Hour"

    I am currently watching BBC's new series about media corruption in 1950's Britian, and have to say I am hugely disappointed so far. The acting is luke-warm, and the costumes are off - much of it looks more 80's than 50's to me, especially the women. Anyone else watched it?

    THE NIGHT WATCH - Another great drama from BBC

    I thought it was pretty boring for the first two thirds, and by that time I had lost interest in the characters and the more exciting last third didn't really save it. Great costumes, but all in all a bit meh.

    white cinch w/ gold interlock clasp- how do I find/make one?

    I would keep checking cheap shops you normally wouldn't go into, or online rock'n roll / swing dance shops. Just send you a pm with some links. Hope you find something.

    Vintage Date???

    Great advice! To be honest, I am sure any of your vintage clothes that are clean and fit well will be fine, as you'll still look smarter than everyone else. I didn't pay any attention to what my husband was wearing on our first dates, as we had such a good time it didn't matter. He was...

    white cinch w/ gold interlock clasp- how do I find/make one?

    Ebay UK has several at the moment, and if not you can set up a search and get an email when one pops up.

    The ones that got away

    I am so sad about this. I am going to a wedding next month and was saving up for this and was going to sell one of my Horrockses to then be able to buy it, but it sold last night. Oh well.

    The ones that got away

    Sorry, just saw this. I have no idea if it was in the UK or not, it was a while ago. It's beautiful nonetheless.

    Thankfully it has cleared up, they have a little note up and it's working now! I just love that blog, so many talented people.

    Oh, the Stigma of an Astigmatism. . .

    For all the UK girls, I just picked up these sunglasses from Accessorize. They also come in red and black, and look quite cute on. http://www.accessorize.com/en/restofworld/small-pointy-cateye-sunglasses/invt/88835322/?bklist=icat,4,shop,accessoriesshop,accessoriessunglasses

    Thank you! No I don't, so far I wear it with white blouses or tops, but if I see a blue cardigan I like I'll get one.

    Do Ladies notice a Man's shoes?

    I just spend a while in a hospital waiting room, and had to suppress a chuckle as there were old men in socks and sandals, teamed with shorts, and a man sat beside me in shorts, elasticated plimsoles and tennis socks. *Shudder* It made me think of this thread, and perhaps realise I do look at...
