    Fashion Rules of the Past

    Other than here, there are very few places where a lady these days can find out information from people who have first hand experience, that counts for so much as there is only so much you can learn from books. For example my Grandmas would have worn a corset all her life, maybe she would have...

    Dry-cleaner vs manufacturer- who is responsible?

    My advice would be to write a letter to the owner of the dry cleaner and use a signed for delivery service The key things is what they said to you when they accepted the clearing of the coat, did they point out that they could be any problems? they cannot have done or you would not have gone...

    Remoulding lipsticks to fit mini tubes

    I like how every one coming up with ideas, the simplest the best, only if it works! This may sound stupid and may not work, if you use foil or tape you might be able to put water around it and freeze it into ice for the strength and keep it's shape. hot liquid always set fast at the edge first...
