    Wow, Jitterbugdoll, great find! 1940s shoes for $25!:eek: Most of the best bargins I've had have been off ebay, cause things are just so cheap as over here in the Uk you would expect to pay between £40 and £50 for a dress and about the same price for a pair of shoes, and thats if you can...

    What Makes You Choose One Decade Over Another?

    This picture below just shows the major difference in styles, even in a few years. I don't think that any one style can suit everybody so we are quite lucky that we can pick and mix what era's we collect and wear. But if you had been living in the 20's you couldn't have worn 40's clothing (if...

    What Makes You Choose One Decade Over Another?

    I love the 40's, I got into collecting vintage clothes by being dragged along to militaria shows since i was little, until I saw a 40's fashion show at a show called War and Peace, it showed styles from the 30's and late 40's but mainly focused on the looks of wartime Britain and after seeing...

    What about vintage style DONT you like?

    I'm surprised that things are short on you, i thought I had a problem with the length just becuase I was tall but i surpose if you have long legs it will affect were the hem hits your legs. I have the most amzing 'New Look' skirt, it is black and is tightly pleated, just like the Dior style...
