Custom made vintage repros...
Oh no! Well, at least they have different sizes for things and are still relatively cheap for what they offer.- Drappa

Show us your Horrockses dresses!
Ha ha, now I know who brought the price up! :p If it makes you feel better, there were some things that needed to be fixed on the dress and it is only knee-length on me (I'm 5'6") and not much hem to be let out. Having said that I still love it. I just looked at the repros, and for £95 you...- Drappa

Show us your Horrockses dresses!
Yes, maybe it was. As soon as I get a Flickr account I will post one. I have never done my hair vintage yet, but I do wear it with a huge petticoat :) I think I'll ask for that book for Christmas, it looks fabulous. Apparently there was a slimmer version of that book out before (possibly a...- Drappa

Oh ok, thanks for all the info. I love those two dresses and can't believe I didn't know about Horrockses until a few months ago. Sorry to have outbid you though. Just found this file: http://www.cleo.net.uk/followtheyarn/files/dresses.pdf- Drappa

I think I am being really stupid, but if the photos are on my computer or camera, how do I get them online? I have one of me in the polka dot dress on ym desktop but can't find the online link. And my avatar is Horrockses as well as far as I know :)- Drappa

Show us your Horrockses dresses!
Oh fun! I only have two, but I looove them. The prices for them here are already crazy, especially for the earlier ones. Here's one I got cheaply because the seller wasn't aware of what she had I think and didn't advertise it as one. The other one: These are the seller's pictures- I...- Drappa

Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage
Two weekends ago hubby and I were in town for breakfast, vintage shopping and then at the supermarket. I wore a vintage Horrockses dress with petticoat and a lady stopped me in the supermarket and said "Excuse me, I don't normally do this to strangers, but I've seen you a few times today and...- Drappa

Custom made vintage repros...
What a great thread! I recently got a dress from an Ebay seller named qbiffa http://shop.ebay.co.uk/qbiffa/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p4340 and it is fabulous. They are also relatively cheap and have lots of blouses and sweaters, but not sure if they custom make things. Might be...- Drappa

Vintage-Inspired clothing lines
Haha, me too. I found it on Ebay:) . It was quite reasonable as well. Unfortunately, the bust is too big and I spent all morning making it smaller and was almost finished and so proud of my zipper-job...when I realised the zipper gets stuck because it's sewn too close.:rage: So I thought I'd...- Drappa

Vintage-Inspired clothing lines
I recently bought a beautiful organic cotton floral 50's dress with a crinoline by a newish brand (apparently?) called "Tea on the Lawn". It said in the listing that all their dresses are made from original vintage patterns. I can't, however, find anything about them on Google or anywhere else.- Drappa

Hypo-allergenic or natural hair dyes...
I dyed my hair with henna from the age of 13 until I was in my mid-to-late 20s and never had a reaction to it. I sometimes put black tea in it to make it darker (you can also use the water from steeping onions I've been told). I agree that it should be a paste rather than a liquid, but no... -

Thanks! That's what I thought. The seller said there were two buttons an inch apart, but I find it all a bit confusing.- Drappa

New Ladies and Gents Step Forward
Hello everyone, just thought I'd say hello:) I have loved clothes since I was little and have been through different phases. I also sew and quilt (geek alert) and have re-discovered vintage, especially the 40's and 50's. I live in Hampshire with my husband, two cats and a dog, but am...- Drappa

Show us your Swirl dresses!
Hello, I have just joined the site and already learned a ton! I have fallen in love with a Swirl-like dress and since I have never seen one IRL was wondering how much leeway there is with the waist? The dress I found has a 25" waist, but I'm more a 28"...and am so sad. Is there a way to wear it...- Drappa
