What's on Top - Bras, panties, garter belts, slips, & stockings
I agree... they look pretty pointless. And the idea is *not* really new. My husband wears sock garters sometimes and they work for him. I've worn the old fashioned elastic type (like for weddings) and they're ok, but sometimes start slipping a bit- you're always aware they're there. I still...- Lauren

How to go to the restroom whilst wearing foundation garments...
What? Go to the bathroom? Vintage girls back then didn't *do* that. lol You know, I've got to admit that LizzieMaine's suggestion works good for me. After wearing "normal" underwear all my life it was an adjustment getting used to the way that vintage undies and tap pants feel... kinda...- Lauren

Welp, I just got the cute swimsuit pattern but it's missing one of the halter tops and the instructions. Oh well... I can fake it for me, but no repro of this one for etsy. Bummer.- Lauren

Sewing Lessons & FAQ
I don't know how that one is, but I've made up other repros in the past from Butterick and Vogue and not only did they add monster ease, but they lowered the armholes a lot! One of the first vintage dresses I made was from those Butterick reprints in the 90s and I couldn't even lift my arms to...- Lauren

Lace it up - The true Corset thread
Mike, I would LOVE to see that! Thanks so much for the offer! I don't think I've seen anything other than a period illustration of one. I think the only Ribbon corset I've seen is the one from the V&A. Those are SO amazing!- Lauren

Show us your vintage patterns!
Yay! Thanks, gals! The seller said they didn't know if it had all the pieces so I'm crossing my fingers it does. Kamikat, I'm not planning on it right now. I've got lots of things in mind, so not sure I can squeeze it in before summer! Things with big skirts tend to cost a lot to repro, too...- Lauren

Sewing Lessons & FAQ
Hi! I don't know... maybe you could try it! I've taken in center seams of things before and then tapered them down to nothing around the crotch curve. Maybe if you post a picture we could help better? Sorry your shorts are giving you such trouble :( (HA! that kind of sounds funny... but I...- Lauren

Lace it up - The true Corset thread
They had special riding corsets that were shorter in length and more flexible than most Victorian corsets for riding. A lot of women would "pick" at their dinner. It wasn't ladylike to appear hungry... meant you weren't as well off as you appeared to be- although a lot ordered something from...- Lauren
