    *Snoods*

    OMIGOD THAT'S IT!!!! I am sooooo jealous it is gorgeous! That is exactly what I was talking about, it was such a fine netting that it really didn't look very snood-like, and the one in the film was covered in rhinestones instead of sequins....wow, that is lovely! But, would I use a normal snood...

    *Snoods*

    Has anyone ever seen a snood made out of more of a sheer material, like a veil? I saw this old movie once and now I REALLY wish I could remember which one, and the woman was in an evening gown, and her snood was actually made out of a veil-like material, black, and was worn like a snood would...

    Vintage clothing: waist to chest ratio problems?

    Thanks ladies...I think I need to start trying on more outfits to get a better idea. I never thought of the 30's style as something that would be flattering on me...I always pictured the style suiting more of the tall, slim willowy type. I have a bit of a tummy to cope with...:o

    Besame cosmetics

    confused by difference btwn US and UK Hey girls, Ok, so I am a little confused: some of you have been talking about specific colours and even talking about their foundation and I cannot find any of that on their website. However, I went to an online UK shop and all the colours you all...

    Vintage clothing: waist to chest ratio problems?

    Ok, so I was wondering if anyone else has this issue with buying vintage dresses: I have been hesitant to purchase anything actually vintage because I notice that all the measurements are usually in the 40's for chest and 20's or 30's for waist. I am a small chested girl who could do 36' max...

    Pro-Curler

    updates on the pro-curler? Hey guys, I know this a pretty old thread to be reviving, but I was interested to know how everyone's experiments turned out? I was thinking of getting one, but I am still confused as to whether this thing actually does pin curls, or just a curly type hair...

    Vintage hair: anyone from Toronto here?

    Hi ladies, Just curious to know if anyone on this forum is from Toronto or the area and has any good tips for someone who does vintage hair. I hear about this all the time in the US (sooooo envious of you guys!) who have vintage salons, but I have never seen anything like that in Canada...

    Show us your vintage-vintage inspired Engagement Ring!

    Thanks Skidoo that is so nice of you to say! I kind of messed up my last post, I included the photos but no descriptions so I now have added the descriptions to my original post. Basically, they were both lucky finds, and I snatched them up right away! The 30's ring is aquamarine and...

    Yayyy it worked! Thanks Fleur!!! Ok, so this is funny...I own two vintage engagement rings...but I am not engaged!!! (hahaha is that bad luck, like buying a wedding gown before you're engaged??) The first ring is from the 30's, and rather than diamonds and gold, it is an aquamarine set in...

    Show us your vintage-vintage inspired Engagement Ring!

    hmmm Ok, so it didn't work...just wondering, under posting rules, it says "I may not post attachments" why am I restricted to do this? Or does that have nothing to do with posting pictures...? I'm confused :(

    40's compact/carry all purses

    Thanks for that! Yes, I have seen those before, the mesh bags with the powder/rouge on top, but this one was so different, I will try to explain with photos. So, I attached two pics, one is sort of what the bag looked like, but it was much, much nicer. It was beads on a cotton/silk or something...
