The ones that got away
^Darling dress, how much did it go for? I was outbid, but it went much too high for my liking, and was missing one piece- Drappa

Oh no, what a shame! I have that problem with some coats or dresses. Is there any way you can undo the seam on the sleeves and let them out a bit?- Drappa

What motivates you to do your beauty everyday? Lately I cant find any motivation!
Haha, my mum used to say that about clean underwear. Not only that, but when I was young she used to iron my underwear for that very reason! I personally don't have motivation to do my hair very often, but that is because I'm not good at it and find it frustrating. Make-up and getting dressed I... -

Unfortunate food, fortunately forgotten
Some people where I'm from still eat lard sandwiches, with salt and bits of pork in it. It's considered a very traditional delicacy, but makes me glad to be veggie!- Drappa

Unfortunate food, fortunately forgotten
Since I was very little I have somewhat detested warm cow's milk, because my father hates it with a passion. Just after WWII my grandmother made him eat milk soup frequently, which is basically warm milk with bread or doughy balls. I always thought it sounded utterly disgusting and am glad I...- Drappa

Red lipstick and the job interview
I am sure that looks really matter for a lot of people hiring, as my Mom hires people and know she'd care if they looked unprofessional. At my last job I overheard my bosses often when there was a position open in a government job. Once they commented on a woman being a bit too glamorous for the...- Drappa

I will let him know, even though I was there and picked it ;) It will make him happy. He wouldn't know cotton from chiffon if it bit him in the behind :D- Drappa

The Golden Era's *ugliest* clothes
I actually see mothers and daughters in matching tracksuits fairly frequently. Earlier this week I even saw a 65-70 year old woman at the playground with her grandson and she wore leggings and ugg boots! The fringing on those dresses is terrible, it makes them look like costumes.- Drappa

Show us your vintage patterns!
Great pattern, and I often wish that, too. Once in a while I see patterns on Ebay with the fabric already cut out and pinned, and wonder what happened that the maker didn't finish it.- Drappa

Do you have a set beauty routine?
^ I actually can't sleep with make-up on, never have. When I was younger and occasionally drunk, I'd fall into bed but then wake up two or three hours later, sometimes still a bit drunk, and would have to get up to remove my make-up, wash my face and brush my teeth. It never failed, and now I... -

Thrift shop finds, some of which I will sell on as they don't fit me. Darling dress, seems to be rayon mix, but the waist sits very high, so looks like maternity wear on me 60's/70's dress Lovely dress, but too small The one I almost didn't get because of a stain, which came out right away...- Drappa

Oh wow, great deal RodeoRose! I got a few bits and bobs off Ebay, and have been very lucky at one of the charity shops around here, because they got a bunch of things from a lady's estate and some of them were priced very reasonably, although they frankly had strange pricing that was all over...- Drappa

Show us your Horrockses dresses!
HOORAY! I just won this set, and I am so excited I am shaking, literally. It went for a lot less than I thought it would, less than my very first Horrockses which was a great deal back then, and I can't wait :D I've always, always wanted a set, but they're never in my size, or in good condition...- Drappa
