Ribbons and Bows
I like the idea of something other than flowers. Reminds me of that thread about wearing flowers in your hair in the winter. Fifi, I love the mah jong tile idea, but I could see how that could be heavy. A friend of mine used to take vintage pins that she would find at thift stores and turn...- Miss Dottie

Etiquette books
Why does it not surprise me that so many of the Fedora Lounge ladies collected ettiquette books when they were younger? I too am in that club. My favorite part was the discussions they would have about how to properly dress their maids for daytime and evening events. Anyway, Amy Vanderbilt...- Miss Dottie

Speaking of hair, hotroller recommendations?
I second your comments Daisy Buchananon about this being a great thread. I've used Caruso curlers and find that they keep, but I have a horrible tendency to brush my curls and I know shouldn't. Very naughty of me! I think thos hotsticks sound dandy tho' and I might have to look into...- Miss Dottie

Tempted...An eBay tale of woe. Opinion ladies
Ladies, I'm tempted. Tempted to buy this dress. I love the plum colour and the sweet ribbon work But as you can see in the photo it has some rather irksome staining across the front. I am completely drawn to the dress and it's a larger size (albeit a bit big in the waist, but still...- Miss Dottie

I want this dress, but where would I wear it?
I say get it! A girl can never have too many black dresses. I looks like a nice staple dress that you could get a lot of wear out of. And once you get it, you might find that it is perfect for more things than you know! Also, I like to buy fancy dresses and wait for the events to...- Miss Dottie

Is this too busy?
I think it's darling! But it's tough to see how big the print is. I think it's just awaiting the right dress pattern to highlight the pattern perfectly. Good luck and I hope you post the final finished product!- Miss Dottie

The ones that got away
This darling little dress escaped me by 4 seconds. Oh the pathos! And I was a bidding demon on it. And I just outsnipered someone on some delightful cream spinach color bakelite spacers. Sniffle! Actually, I've been sniped more times than I care to admit this weekend. Oof! But I...- Miss Dottie

Developing One's Own Style
Hmm... I guess it started when I was five years old and went to the premiere of "That's Entertainment" with my father. Those outfits! That dancing!
