    High Waisted Pants & Jeans!

    I finished making the Decades of style empire trousers, I made them in denim and they've come out surprisingly well. I did lower the waist somewhat as I didn't want under arm warmers! As a hefty gal I worried about how they'd look but they're pretty nice. Wore them with a 40s blouse I made.

    Tried Activskins (male pantyhose)?

    Mantyhose..lol! Nearly fell off my chair laughing! If you find silk long johns catch on your trousers, try spraying your LJs with a light mist of cheap hairspray. It cuts down static. K x

    Custom made vintage repros...

    I just received my 1940s suit from Top Runway. Not v happy with it to be honest....Not a great fit, fabrics cheap ( I asked that it had no shine at all and it does ) The kick pleats are in the wrong place and the revers aren't wide enough. Bit miffed really. It's going to need some serious...

    I've experimented with tinted lip balms using beeswax, but I'm not doing something right...is there a right temperature to heat the beeswax to? I've made soaps before and wash balls for living history and I like the fact that I'm not using nasty chemicals. (but I do heat and use liz earle...

    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    I just bought a pair of the Arris Allen Mary Janes. I take a UK 7.5-8 and I bought their 10 which just fits.......not overly impressed with the quality I have to say.
