Is chivalry dead?
I'm not sure it's dead, but it's certainly dying, along with dress codes and such. My husband has always held the door for me or pulled out my chair, but I know other men his age we know never do any if it. Mostly it seems to be behaviour reserved for dates and only employed to impress in the...- Drappa

Does vintage clothing attract a rude/violent response?
Apparently even bikers aren't exempt any more. especially the comments are interesting. http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/bike-blog/2011/may/19/violent-bicycle-muggings Also forgot to add that it isn't necessarily what you wear, but what you do that sometimes attracts idiots. When I lived...- Drappa

Show us your vintage patterns!
^Aw, thank you. Nothing to envy though, I usually collect the patterns but then only get around to using a small percentage or waiting for the perfect fabric or until I have more time or more money... :)- Drappa

Sewing Lessons & FAQ
Oooh, what great ideas! I was also thinking sleeveless, and the banding/piping idea sounds brilliant. I'll have to take the fabric in to a shop to find a matching blue. Now I'm finally really excited! Thank you!- Drappa

Sewing Lessons & FAQ
Ladies, I need some advice on fabric selection. I bought some amazing end of bolt poppy print and am wanting to make a dress out of it, but the print is just enough for the skirt. I have been trying to decide for weeks, but can't think of which colour would be best for the top of the dress as to...- Drappa

vintage first names no longer in use today or not popular anymore
^I have noticed that as well, and similarly some acquaintances have given their small children names I used to think of as mainly pet names. As a teenager I once borrowed a friend's much too small bike to get home, and whilst cycling through a park attracted the attention of a dachshund, who...- Drappa

I never saw Pushing Daisies, but might have to check it out if it's on some time. Occasionally Sookie on True Blood has really great dresses -

Does vintage clothing attract a rude/violent response?
Since I am a foreigner, as is my family, that sadly isn't really the case. Most non- English people I know consider drunken Brits, especially holiday makers, the rudest and most violent nationality around. My husband, who is British, just returned from a business trip in Germany and asked me why...- Drappa

My husband is called Paul, and I can think of at least four other Pauls I know. Seems to be very popular still.- Drappa

Girl Crushes!
^Oh yes, she's stunning! I love her, but love Beth's wardrobe. I guess you have a few seasons to go yet until you see that! -
The ones that got away
They are ballerinas, not sure if they are based on Degas or just similar? It is super cute, but now at nearly $80, and for a damaged cotton dress quite steep I think.- Drappa

Girl Crushes!
I have a huge style crush on Beth Young (Emily Bergl) in Desperate Housewives. She's always in vintage or retro dresses, cardigans, or vintage style blouses and cat-eye sunglasses. -
The ones that got away
Both are ending tonight, but seem to have aroused bidding wars. The blue one is at $126.50 right now! This one actually has a hole and serious fraying, but is already over $70.- Drappa
