Radical life change needed!
Don't be so hard on yourself!! To be honest, those given ideal measurements sound a little scary. If you're a natural beanpole, that's one thing, but I don't think whittling yourself down to a 22" waist should be your goal. Every woman is built differently; perhaps you should just focus on...- RodeoRose

Vintage-Inspired clothing lines
Thanks Scarlett, I figured as much; the dresses do look a bit wrinkled and awkward even on the website's pictures. I think I'd best save my pennies and sew something up myself. McVolke, thank you for the sweet compliment, you made my day :D!!- RodeoRose

Ingrid Bergman Dress Destroyed - Vogue shows it off
Oh, gosh, that's lacking in taste. It always breaks my heart when I see perfectly lovely vintage frocks "upcycled" to look more modern; seriously, folks, if it's modern aesthetics you're after, leave the vintage alone and buy a modern dress! A dress that's cut to be long just won't look...- RodeoRose

Vintage-Inspired clothing lines
ChicStar Hi ladies; Has anyone had any experience with this company called ChicStar? They seem to be making Stop Staring knock-offs at incredibly low prices, and as I could never afford most repro dresses, I'd like to give this site a try. I'm sure they're not great quality, but has anyone...- RodeoRose

Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage
Aww, I know how you feel Stray Cat! Hats always seem to rouse such a reaction, I don't get it. I don't wear my vintage hats as much as I'd like 'cause without fail, strangers always seem to feel the need to stare, comment, or even-- the worst-- touch my hats. That's really funny! That might...- RodeoRose

Everyday Women of the Golden Era
Gosh, V. C. Brunswick, where exactly are you buying your books? Those are spectacular finds! I love the adorable perfectly '20s outfits those gals have on. Hope this isn't a repeat, but I love these pictures from the Library of Congress; check out those vivid cotton prints: I just love this...- RodeoRose

Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage
That's really terrible. I hate how one little negative comment said in passing can ruin one's entire day! And of course, you always look so pretty and put-together, so I'm sure this fellow was none too charming and his opinion means very little!- RodeoRose

Long Bangs
I used to have long bangs, too! (I've got Bettie bangs now, hehe!) If you can get them into a sort of side sweep, like monicacaroline demonstrated, it can look very vintage. If you're not going for 100% period correct, however, it might look cute if you leave your bangs straight and blunt, then... -

Etsy
I used to hate Etsy for exactly the same reason as you -- so pricey!!-- but the shopping experience there is so much more pleasant than eBay. I'm one of those anxious people who practically gets a heart attack in the last minutes of a bidding war, hehe, so being able to buy with one click gives...- RodeoRose

In Need of Some Positive Societal Reinforcement...
Ohh, I know exactly what you're going through. I'm eighteen myself, and it can often seem like 99% of people my age think I'm a walking freakshow. It always helps me to come here, and to read my favorite vintage fashion blogs when I start to question myself. There's a whole world of smart...- RodeoRose

Lovely Vintage Fabrics
This is perfect; I don't know how many times I've looked at the top of my Coty's box and envisioned the cotton puff pattern as a print for a blouse! The second model's little top and scarf are seriously my dream come true. Now, what are the odds a piece in that print will ever cross my path? lol- RodeoRose

Show Us Your Purchases!
RosieBeau, that dress is darling! I really didn't need to find another fabulous repro store to drool over, lol, but I'm smitten with a ton of their frocks now, thanks for the link! I like Tatum's idea for a cardigan that picks up on the colors in the pattern for some pop. I think some cute...- RodeoRose

Does vintage clothing attract a rude/violent response?
Oh, I believe I've been treated rudely on account of my vintage dress and style many times. My constant state of what others deem to be formal dress (stockings, frocks, set hair, lipstick...) has attracted a fair share of teasing and cattiness from strangers; never violence luckily, probably...- RodeoRose

Pushing Up Daisies is (well, "was", unfortunately) such a great little show, I highly recommend it! Drappa, I've only ever seen bits and pieces of True Blood, but I quite liked Evan Rachel Wood's character's look: -
Churchs Womens' Shoe Collection
Aww gosh, those Lobb ladies' high heeled oxfords are some of the best facsimiles of 20s or 30s boots I've seen for a while :(. Even if I was a royal or a millionaire, I still think I'd feel silly dropping so much money on a pair of shoes, though.- RodeoRose

Girl Crushes!
Continuing on the TV ladies theme, I just love Anna Friel's character Chuck from Pushing Daisies... she wore lots of vintage dresses and adorably matchy-matchy outfits. The whole show had a great kitschy/retro aesthetic that was so wonderful to look at!
