    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    I wouldn't worry about what your younger brother thinks! lol Kids can think the silliest things sometimes... I wouldn't change who you are or what you like just because "most" guys wear only T-shirts and jeans. "Most" is not all, and even the "most" might appreciate your vintage look...

    Copy a pattern or use an original?

    I'll admit to being a pattern snob. Well, pattern preserver is more like it. :) In the first place, I usually have to make alterations, so it saves time for me to just trace the pattern immediately and cut from the copy. I *have* used an original pattern twice: once, it was a '50s robe...

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    I stopped by Starbucks after church on Sunday, wearing a non-vintage suit jacket, skirt, heels, and the new red lipstick I've been tenatively trying out. The barista said she liked my lipstick; it was "kind of '50s". :)

    Crossover Ties

    I have a grey tie just like that, which I bought at an estate sale. I'll have to put some pictures up. I don't wear it, though - I don't look good in collared shirts buttoned all the way up.

    Oil Cleansing Method

    I have a question, ladies: for all of you who were going to try out the OCM, how did it work for you? I tried it for a few weeks, and started breaking out severely. I'd expected *some* breakout, perhaps, but this was persistent and didn't go away, and the acne was much more severe than I've...

    Weight loss options

    There's nothing quite like '70s food photos. :eek: I don't care if food magazines nowadays do spray the food with toxic substances so they look pretty. It's all worth it. Really. My money's on the Salmon Mousse as worst-tasting...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    North by Northwest is one of my (many, many...) favorites. Thanks for the link. Love seeing the comparisons.

    What Are You Reading

    Do you offer guest lectures, complete with all the aforementioned gesticulations and facial expressions? Because I think some of my college peers could've used this - specifically, to frighten them into *not* using Wikipedia both as a source AND as the actual text of a report. :eek: :rage...

    Fictional Character Crush

    Oh, goodness! That was a huge pet peeve of mine when I read "Little Women". I could not understand the logic of picking Professor Bhaer over Laurie...well, I could, but it was *not* the ending I wanted. :eusa_doh:

    "Old School" grace and mannerisms?

    I'll take your word for it. :) I can see the point, but the application thereof is awfully iffy!

    What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?

    I don't *think* I posted this before, but a few months ago I bought Revlon's "Wine With Everything" on the recommendation of someone here. I tried it a few times but wasn't sure whether it was too dark on my lips. I've worn it a few more times recently, and I think I've adjusted to the red...

    To love vintage or not to????

    I think there's another thread here somewhere about that already. But short answer, I guess it would depend on the person. Either way, if I were in a relationship and they weren't accepting me and my "quirks" (and I don't think vintage is a "quirk"!) - I think it wouldn't be a good...

    My book's original owner

    Fascinating. I often speculate about the previous owners of my vintage books, but never anything as interesting as this. :)

    "Old School" grace and mannerisms?

    And the young man wouldn't have seen her sans makeup/with minimal makeup at least once without resorting to such tactics? (Especially today!) I don't think that falls under the category of "gentlemanly behavior"...

    Pear shape body...

    Quite correct. You can get a rough idea of what era suits you best, but that doesn't mean every design from that era will work for you. This depends on the person. If I wear a top that's too fitted with a skirt that's too full, it doesn't always look good at all - instead, it really...

    Sewing Lessons & FAQ

    Oh boy. I'm going to agree with everyone else: your time would probably be better spent by shopping for a dress. You can check thrift stores, too, for something more unique, or for a cute accessory like a jacket/shrug/wrap. I've known people who could pull off making a dress in two days...

    What Happens to Old Towns?

    Yup. It's just not cost-effective. Unless the store is located in an area that stays busy after 5-7 or so, there's no point in staying open late. To be honest, I think we've become too used to *everything* staying open until the wee small hours, 7 days a week. Originally, that's what...

    What Happens to Old Towns?

    Aha. Thanks for clarifying!
