    Trashy Diva

    Ooooh, I have the 40's dress (in the cherry print) and wore it to my best friend's wedding - I got lots of compliments on it. You'll love it! I nearly got the Mini Fleur print, but it didn't suit the wedding colours.

    They are indeed! And their customer service was outstanding, even though I am abroad. Which dress did you get?

    It's from Etsy seller foreverlovelyvintage and they've got some other really nice ones, wish I could get them all! I understand the BP addiction, I only have on dress and one skirt by them, but both are really flattering.

    70s/80s does another era??

    I have some dresses, skirts and blouses from the retro phases in the 70's/80's, and got them mainly for kicking about the house or walking the dog in the country, things my actual vintage is too precious for. I think they really serve that purpose well, and I don't mind as much if I snag them or...

    I feel like I'm spamming this thread, but nobody I know would appreciate these like you ladies :) My last purchase until January or February, apart from some patterns. Not my usual silhouette or era, but NOS and looks comfy:

    Thanks again ladies. The black and white dress also comes with it's matching belt (not in the picture) and has red in it, but you can't tell. I'm pretty excited about it. I'll post skirt pictures as soon as I made them :D

    Do any of you ladies own the Bettie Page Substitute dress (flared)? I am in love with that dress and found one in my usual size (M), but read that it runs really small in the bust. I was wondering if there is much stretch and how small it actually runs? I'm worried the waist will be too big in a...

    Thank you, I was convinced I'd be outbid, but was the only bidder and can't believe my luck! Nevermind the fact I haven't ever done applique, but am thinking of making a quilted skirt with the ivy as my quilting guide. Thanks everyone, and lovely dress Miss Golightly. Your wardrobe must be amazing!

    Personal Hygiene during the golden era? did some people only bath once a week??

    I had the misfortune of sitting on the train a few weeks ago right in front of a group of teenagers. One of the boys was about to meet a girl and they were joking about how handsome he was. He then proceeded to douse himself in Lynx for what seemed like ten minutes, and I almost fainted from the...

    A slip and some patterns: Christmas presents from my family! I wish Christmas came earlier, so I could wear them. Petticoat from my favourite Ebay seller: Cashmere sweater from TKMaxx (it's navy, not black, and has three pearl buttons):

    Personal Hygiene during the golden era? did some people only bath once a week??

    I grew up with my grandparents, born in 1917 and 1919, and both of them only bathed once a week but never smelled. My dad (their son) showers daily, but my mom has skin rashes so started showering once or twice a week and also doesn't smell. I remember having to share baths with my cousin who...

    Peach, I think it flatters most skintones.

    A rather unusual piece of safety equipment (plastic bra?)

    Don't know about a full bra, but I had to wear plastic breast guards inside my bra for kickboxing. They're not too bad and better than getting hurt.
