Was there such thing as comfy clothes???
If you consider the eras preceding theirs and the undergarments or layers of clothing they possessed they were incredibly comforatable! Even the 20s, contrary to popular belief, had stiff foundations for most everyone- not many gals possessed the boyish figure that was in style so most everyone...- Lauren

I've been wanting to try this style of marcel waver for a while, and I got a lot of 6 of them today. I'm hoping they are easy so I can just put them in after I get out of the shower for styled hair after it dries. :)- Lauren

Oh yes, and that's the way they were! When I used to wear the vintage pants I made to work the tailor there told me I made them wrong. Trying to explain that that was just the way they were cut back then was hard. I still don't think she gets it lol Now I shorten the crotch nearly every...- Lauren

OH WOW. That pattern is amazing. I'll have to keep my eyes out for that one. That's pretty standard in vintage pants. I usually shorten mine 1.5" to 2" in the rise. Don't feel bad- 'tis normal. And pants that early are supposed to be pretty baggy. If you look at the butt in the middle...- Lauren

cynroux, the best advice I can think of for dealing with Vintage Vogue repros is to make a muslin first. They run big and fit a little wonky sometimes. I've made a few myself and have heard the same thing from several people who have also made them.- Lauren

Can the Snood Save Christmas?
AWESOME. I vote for this name. :arated: P.S.- those things are ugly in a big way. Maybe if the models didn't look like the thing was eating their heads and they were unhappy about it it could be cute.- Lauren

What is your favorite retro look on a handsome man?
I don't know if I can speak for the other ladies, but I have to say that manners and a good person is much better than tough eye looks. I never found them that appealing myself. But I'm biased- I think my husband is the handsomest man- Lauren

You know, when it was still in the $40 range I CONSIDERED bidding cause, you're right, it would be worth repro-ing, but still- you'd have to sell a heck of a lot of copies to actually make your money back, let alone make a profit at the price it sold for! I'm sure another will turn up...- Lauren

Disney Will Make Over Mickey. Why? To Make Us Like Him.
Ditto that. I LOVE Oswald! Though I think he's somewhat in line with what LD said above about Mickey in Steamboat Willie. Son of Atropos, those are just frightening. Why not market a completely new set of characters instead of trying to make the "new" classic ones? I think one of the things...- Lauren
