Movie Quote Game
This one reminds me of a Winston Churchill quote: Bessie Braddock: Sir, you are drunk. Churchill: And you, madam, are ugly. But in the morning, I shall be sober.- Lauren

If you said you looked like one celebrity from the Golden Era...
Your face seems perfect to me for 20's or early 30's :) Maybe Anna Nilsson or Helen Kane Or Norma Talmadge- Lauren

How cool! I wish I had seen that! And it's funny that there's Robin Hood influences, because that was another wierd thing going on with fashion then... another thing on my "wish list" is a Robin Hood hat, or Tryolean! The crazy little hat with a shaped crown that goes up nearly like a peak...- Lauren

Yup, like LD says, just as is- the skirts have a great flow to them and with a lining that crisp it would not be the right shape. Most dresses then were unlined because of ecomomy- coming out of the depression and into WWII. Even evening dresses were not always lined- and some only in the...- Lauren

Olive Bleu, I'll probably do it in a plaid wool- I love the sporty hooded look! It might look nice in a wool or rayon crepe, too... ooh! With a contrast hood lining! I better not get too excited, I can't do it for a while ;)- Lauren

"The Women"
I totally agree. We can have all the Buck Winston's, Jungle Red's, and Black's Fifth Avenues they want to throw at us, but it's just not the same without the original dialog.- Lauren

"The Women"
The Women Yes, they're making a remake of the 1939 classic. What do you guys think? Will it do well in the box office? IMDB page- Lauren

The ones that got away
I agree. It looks late 30's to me. It could have possibly been made over from an earlier dress- the hemline could have been shortened. The buckle looks earlier to me than the style of dress as it. It's really super cute! And I know what you mean about it being a good thing missing auctions...- Lauren

I wish I had pictures! It was a fad from 1939-1940 to have things with hoods- evening gowns, day dresses, whatever. I think I might have a magazine with one and when I have more time I'll scan it in.- Lauren

Show us your vintage patterns!
I just got this one on ebay today- the first pattern I've bought in a long while! Ever since seeing The Women I've wanted a late 30s/early 40s outfit with a hood ( a hooded dress would be ideal, but not yet!) so I got this one today. Hopefully I can make it up for this winter, since winters...- Lauren

How to get pale, luminous skin?
Please excuse me if this was mentioned already- I haven't gone through and read all the responses! :o I went in to Benefit yesterday and they used a new product on me- I'm really tempted to go back and get it! It's called Powderflage They used it under my eyes and it brightened them up and... -

help! what would you call this style of dress?
Ha. wow. SO not 1910! I guess you could, but the styles back then were just a little shorter waisted and the underbodice usually helped hold the blousey shape a little higher and poufier than if you just left it hanging. It probably wouldn't look period, but it would be cute!- Lauren

help! what would you call this style of dress?
Ditto all said above :) Yes, I have done a vintage pattern that is blousey like that from that period and it was mounted on an underbodice. Not all were that way, but most were. If you can get a scan of the back of the pattern envelope you'd know better what you were getting into- the...- Lauren

slippery floors....a modern phenomenon?
Like mentioned, the shoes back then would have been leather soled, more than likely, and since they had less pairs of shoes than we do now in our closet, theirs would more than likely have been scuffed up from concrete and walking. My grandma still says "go outside and scuff your feet" when you...- Lauren
