    Newbie Question: About a proper fit.

    lol I wish I were a size 8!!! Oh, mentally, I'm not a number any more, just a bombshell. Sadly, not every mirror I look in confirms my mental image ... especially mirrors in dressing rooms!!! shakeshead *sigh*

    I think it was the zoot 'gang' we were wondering about ... were they arrested because they were dames in zoots?

    Signs of the Decline of Civilization

    Sadly, they're too humorless and earnest to be imbibers - further contributing to the appalling demise of social ritual along with the decline of civilization!;)

    Thinking about a tattoo, but is it what good girls did in the 1940's?

    Yeah I've got a huge crush on Kat Von D. I think she's absolutely gorgeous.

    Signs of the Decline of Civilization

    Well, it certainly wouldn't help anyone with ADD learn to concentrate. The conventional wisdom (and I use wisdom extremely loosely here) was that a teenager's brain was like a drinking glass - keep pouring stuff in and it'll overflow at some point - they decided it was at 10 minutes: A...

    Yeah, I'm not interested in going back to the way-too-tight 80s! :eek: Great examples, KittyT! :eusa_clap

    Dueling phrases

    How about sack vs. bag? As in sack lunch or bag lunch? The use of one or the other seems to have been predominantly a regional difference, kind of like soda and pop vs. Coke - and in some parts of the South, when you order a Coke, they'll ask you what you want and you can say 7Up or Sprite or...

    Hello, CherryRed. Love your avatar! Is that you?

    See, that's where I part company with 'the look' - if it's tight at the waist only, I think it looks ill-fitting and sloppy - or like a gal dressing up in her boyfriend's pants instead of wearing pants made for her. I prefer a closer fit through the hips and rear with a wide leg. And if you...

    Signs of the Decline of Civilization

    Wigs for cats? That is just wrong! No self-respecting cat would put up with that. I thought cats were smarter than dogs for not being amenable to dressing up. :eek: The signs of decline are everywhere: Spelling and language usage are devolving thanks to advertizing, the internet and...

    Newbie Question: About a proper fit.

    Don't I know it! All of my button-front shirts/blouses gape no matter what I do. Makes me nuts. I guess I'm really going to have to knuckle under and start getting stuff altered - buy according to my bust and shoulders and then get nipped and tucked at the waist so that I look like I have a...

    I need some change!

    Good! Because you definitely don't need him anywhere in your life - not as a friend, not as a boyfriend, not even as an acquaintance. Stick to your guns, girl! :eusa_clap

    Trouser gals

    Oh, yeah - gotta have pockets! I really like trousers that are inspired by men's wear - pinstripes, pockets, cuffs, tweeds, wools ... the whole nine yards. I just feel naked without pockets, and although I love vintage style, I am still a modern girl - I prefer to keep my cell phone on me, so...

    I wish I could sew, but I doubt I'm ever going to be able to sew something as elaborate as a pair of trousers. Too busy. Too impatient. But I love trousers - In fact, I wore these today: http://i.walmart.com/i/p/00/82/49/98/66/0082499866373_215X215.jpg I paired them with a cute...

    The Evidence of Old Lovers - Keep or Destroy?

    I've just finished reading the entire thread and want to contribute my own 2 cents' worth ... I am ashamed to admit that I did once insist on my boyfriend throwing out a pair of boxers given to him by an ex. In my defense, he was still talking to her on the phone (that ol'...

    I have always been a huge fan of Katherine Hepburn's style, particularly her fondness for trousers. From what I've seen so far, it seems most of the vintage repro is geared towards dresses and skirts, with the odd capri or short thrown in. Any good sites with a nice selection of repro...

    Newbie Question: About a proper fit.

    Whiney voice: I know it's unrealistic to think clothing off the rack is going to fit like a glove, I'm just too cheap and lazy to find someone to do alterations .... (I need a pout smiley) *Sigh* To tell the truth, I have been toying with the idea of finding someone to make alterations for...

    Newbie Question: About a proper fit.

    I'm a little top-heavy, so I have a hard time finding things that fit me properly. If a blouse or dress fits me through the bust and shoulders, I'm swimming in fabric in the waist and hips. If something fits in the waist and hips, it's way too small/tight through the chest and shoulders. Were...
