Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage
Sacred, that's an experience that should be ignored. It taught me a new British word, but it must be ignored, Lenore said it all.- wahine

Help a gal out - how can I "Vintage-ify" this dress?
You mean, you don't wanna end up like this? :biggrin: I see what you mean, you wanna be a looker, but not a Las Vegas showgirl ;) To use grey seems a nice idea to me, it's not such a hard contrast as black would be. Maybe do some layering - a non see-thru red that's as close as...- wahine

Show us your hair do's....
How do you do your layering, do you use different colors or just one? And how do you make it stay? My lipstick, no matter how good it looks right after applying, seldomly lasts longer than one drink. :( -
Are Vintage Fragrances Safe To Use?
That sounds logical. But do you think the remains could do any harm? -

Show us your hair do's....
Very cute! Also love your make-up (esp. the lips). -
Show us what you've made!
I made these for my man who is a big fan of classic horror movies. Very simple pillow cases with a lovely R.Kaufman fabric. (back is plain black)- wahine

Are Vintage Fragrances Safe To Use?
Why shouldn't they be safe? I think the only thing that can happen is that they lose their smell or the smell turns bad. Fragrances usually consist mainly of essence oils and alcohol - I'm not a chemist but I don't think these ingredients are able to turn into something harmful. -
Help a gal out - how can I "Vintage-ify" this dress?
Welcome to the board! :welcome: I think you can upload photos after your tenth posting or something like that. It's a cute dress and very becoming on you - good pick. My first idea was the same that you had: do some sort of draping. The pick of fabric would be crucial. If you don't manage...- wahine

Show Us Your Purchases!
I got a new handbag, not vintage but vintage-inspired. Although I'm usually not the impulsive sort of shopper, I totally unreasonably fell in love with it and just had to buy it! :D It's not only pretty (in my opinion) but also very practical (many separate compartements, short handles +...- wahine

I agree, it's wonderful! The color matches the car as well as your skin and hair. Great pick of fabric and good job on the fitting!- wahine

What motivates you to do your beauty everyday? Lately I cant find any motivation!
What often keeps me from dressing up is my perfectionism. I try to work on that - instead of thinking "all or nothing", I try to tell myself "a bit is better than nothing". Once I start tending to myself a bit, I often get going and do more. That's what sometimes helps me. Its not really... -

Everyday Women of the Golden Era
It's just the same over here, "style" usually doesn't get any farther than putting on make-up and "sexy" (meaning: showing as much skin as possible) clothing. Classy and elegant women seem to be a dying breed. Alice Blue, you got a point there - the 68 generation who burnt their bras and...- wahine

What's on Top - Bras, panties, garter belts, slips, & stockings
Whenever I buy panties, I must compromise. They are usually too small - not in size, but in style. Either the whole belly shows or the butt or both. I like the old fashioned style that covers it all. Around here, that's hard to find, esp. if you're not looking for the grannies...- wahine
