    Show us your Swirl dresses!

    I'm going to try and explain it: If you are looking at the dress from the back, the long tie up bit attached to the right goes under the back/left side and through the hole and wraps round the front, then the left hand tie goes across the lower back and round the front, depending on how big it...

    Good Cobblers for my Remix shoes in London?

    I hope someone can help. I have these Remix shoes, that I haven't been able to wear at all this Summer, as the sole at the very front has worn away where it meets the leather and I don't know where to get them repaired. I took a pair of vintage shoes to Timpsons last year and they stuck a...

    Vintage Pics in your vintage threads!

    Wow, Miss Hannah, you sure do take a lovely photo, and of course, look lovely in them too. I went to Paris last year and found some postcards there of Paris in the 50s, and these look like they could be part of the collection ;)

    What Are You Reading

    I'm currently obsessed with Richard Yates. Revolutionary Road was just fabulous, and I'm now working my way through Easter Parade, next on my list is Eleven Kinds of Loneliness. Even though they are pretty depressing, I love his way of reflecting real lives in Mid Century America, and yes, real...

    Finding the Palest Foundation

    I want to find out what foundation you pale gals use. I've tried so many foundations, and at the moment am using the Maybelline 24hour one which is definitely the palest I've found, but I can still see the slight yellowy/orange tinge around my eyebrows and hairline, and if I try and patch it up...

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    I happen to work in a museum that is about WW2 so about a million times a day I get 'so do they make you dress like that?', 'do you do your hair and make up when you get into work or do you travel in like that?', 'How come nobody else here has to wear a costume?' , I've even had 'do your fiends...
