    Show us your Horrockses dresses!

    This just went for £46.01! What am I missing here? It wasn't even a set with the dress, just the jacket on it's own...:eek:

    Stunning! And the appliqué is amazing.

    72-year marriage - the things they must have seen!

    And so lucky to live that long. So sad that they survive both their children, that must be very strange.

    Very nice pattern, especially for bigger busts. Hope you post pictures of your dress!

    Dating for Fedora Loungers?

    lol Not quite. I was heavily into the 60s-70s then, so we both wore flared jeans and vintage leather jackets/coats, and he did have long hair.

    Show us your Horrockses dresses!

    That is such a shame. I was hoping it would have gone to someone who treasures and wears it. I wonder why they didn't get the limited edition one from the same seller? Anyone on here get the blue strappy one?

    Dating for Fedora Loungers?

    I met my husband at work, and he isn't into vintage at all, but is in the military so wears a uniform every day - does that count?;) I did, however, once many years ago, meet a guy who was dressed similarly to me at a museum I liked to go to. He even gave me his number and I was so excited...

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    I am from Germany, but lived in Canada for nearly 8 years and have now lived in the UK for 5 years. While I was in Canada my best friend there was British, and I could not believe the things she and her English friends experienced in school in terms of bullying etc., until I moved here that is...

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    My theory is that the aggression stems from people feeling like we see ourselves as superior by being different and therefore trying to bring us "down a notch" if you will. I don't think it is necessarily our difference that they find offensive, but the fact that it makes them look at and...

    72-year marriage - the things they must have seen!

    http://edition.cnn.com/2010/LIVING/07/14/original.grandparents.blog.marriage/index.html?hpt=C2&fbid=Y6655xOQnpp Absolutely adorable and apparently their blog has an advice section. I wonder how many historical, social and fashion memories they have?!

    Miss L Fire shoes

    Thanks everyone, that helps. I'll go half a size up then if I do decide to buy.

    The ones that got away

    Yes, that is probably true, but they did sell within Ebay, because the seller can cancel it and then put it up with a BIN and tell the person who wants to buy it, so they do it right away and the people who had originally bid won't even notice until it's too late. I once ended an auction and put...

    The ones that got away

    ^^It's not sold yet, I've been admiring it for months! The seller has a lot of other vintage dresses listed for less, so I guess she just figures that one is special or has a high market value, I don't know. I read recently in a Dita von Teese interview that she spent $70,000 on a dress for a...

    The ones that got away

    Yes, I saw that but it was already too expensive. It is beautiful though! I adore this one, but it's £450!!!

    The ones that got away

    Exactly! I was really shocked, too. I have sold many things for £0.99 that were clearly worth more and I it was annoying, but I wanted to honour the system. Recently I even lost money because the shipping charges Ebay lets you add were too low for the weight of what I was sending, and I did it...

    The ones that got away

    Unfortunately it's not outside Ebay rules. I was bidding on a vintage bag, the seller cancelled my bid a few days later and sold it in a BIN to someone else. I emailed Ebay about it and they replied that sellers have the right to choose who they sell to just as buyers have the right to choose...

    Miss L Fire shoes

    I was wondering if anyone had a pair of Miss L Fire shoes and could tell me about their sizing. I don't have a retailer nearby and want to get them online, but I am between a UK 5 and UK 6 (5.5), so do they run tru to size? Larger? Smaller?

    I made this 1930's repro pinwheel quilt a while ago to test my new Janome and gifted it to hubby because he loved it so much. It's only my third quilt, so by no means perfect. I have tons more repro fabrics waiting to be made into quilts, but am working on a wedding quilt for a friend at the...

    Oh no, that is too bad. I'll keep an eye out and let you know if I see any.
